Marmoset Leave Them Alone

South Korean police intercepted a pair of common marmosets being smuggled into the country from their native Thailand. The babies, which could have sold for about US$6,390 each, are now in the care of Korea’s Institute of Ecology. Just a reminder that exotic animals belong in their native homes, not ours.

Mini Marmoset Mania!

As veteran cuteologists know, anything with “pygmy” in it is cute. So when both Maureen P. and Amy S. submitterated this item from Zooborns about a new pygmy marmoset born at the Chester Zoo, I knew you’d love it in a big way.

The pygmy marmoset is the world’s smallest monkey, weighing only one-third of a pound when fully grown. So you can just imagine how tiny the newborn must look riding around on father Gumi’s back.
