Lesson's saddle-back tamarin

Mammals

Lesson's saddle-back tamarin (Leontocebus fuscus) is a small monkey of the family Callitrichidae from South America that was formerly considered a subspecies of the brown-mantled tamarin. Genetic analysis showed that it is more closely related to the black-mantled tamarin than to the brown-mantled tamarin. Its type locality is in Colombia, in the Plaines de Mocoa, Putumayo, between the Rio Putumayo and Rio Caqueta, and it also lives in Brazil. Head and body length is between 212 and 234 millimetres, males have tails of 296 to 383 millimetres and females 337 to 362 millimetres, and it weighs between 350 and 400 grams. It sometimes associates with Goeldi's marmoset, and the IUCN rates it as least concern.
