The pygmy marmoset is a small New World monkey native to rainforests of the western Amazon Basin in South America. It is notable for being the smallest monkey and one of the smallest primates in the world at just over 100 grams. It is generally found in evergreen and river edge forests and is a gum-feeding specialist. About 83% of the pygmy marmoset population lives in stable troops of two to nine individuals, including a dominant male. Source
