Default FINGER MONKEYS Do you believe this?










Finger Monkeys


Enjoy! If it weren't for the Internet... Would you have ever seen or have known about these little creatures? They are way too cute!

They are native to rain-forests of Brazil , Peru , Bolivia , Ecuador and Colombia . (Source: Buzzle)
Finger monkeys are, as a matter of fact, pygmy marmosets.
They are also known by the names "pocket monkey"and "tiny lion".
This cute little primate hugs and grips on to your finger so tight that it pulls your heartstrings and you wish you could take it home with y ou.
Finger Monkeys
The finger monkey is the tiniest living primate in the world.
It's so small that it can hold on to your finger.
These primates belong to the family Callitrichidae, species Cebuella and genus C. Pygmaea.
