"Saguí"

"Saguí" is a popular name that designates all representatives of the Callitrichidae family, also called Hapalidae.

They are the smallest anthropoid primates. This one in the photo is commonly called "Mico Estrela" (Callitrix penicillata).

Their shapes are graceful, silky soft hair with yellowish gray speckled with white.

The tail is brownish with black rings and its head is decorated with a black mane.

He frequents the gardens of houses that have fruit trees since their natural habitat has been replaced by the urban spot.
