Cotton-top Tamarin Saguinus oedipus

The Cotton-top or Cotton-headed Tamarin has a shock of white hair that gives it the name. It has a black face with white eyebrows, "tamarin" pointed ears, a white front, chocolate/grey back.

Native to Colombia, the Cotton-top's habitat is shrinking as forests are cleared for agriculture and housing and they are critically endangered.

The Cotton-top has a long tail starting reddish-brown and ending black. They live in family groups.
