Cruz Lima's saddle-back tamarin

Mammals

Cruz Lima's saddle-back tamarin (Leontocebus cruzlimai) is a species of saddle-back tamarin, a small monkey from South America, that lives in Brazil near the Inauini River. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the brown-mantled tamarin, Leontocebus fuscicollis, and is now treated as a species in its own right. Its fur is mostly reddish orange, with a black tail and white eyebrows. The IUCN Red List rates it as least concern from a conservation standpoint. Like the other callitrichids, the marmosets and tamarins, it is a small New World monkey.
