Common Marmoset - Callithrix jacchus

Marmosets will usually live in small groups which tend to contain several unrelated adult males and females. Only one breeding female will be in this group and will often mate with more than one male and give birth to twins with all members of the group caring for the young including the unrelated males. Common Marmosets are native only to East-central Brazil but have also been introduced into other areas.
