lion tamarins make up the genus leontopithecus. they are small monkeys named for the mane surrounding their face. living in the eastern rainforests of Brazil, like all other callitrichines they are arboreal. lion tamarins weigh up to 900 grams (2 pounds) and are about 30 cm (12 inches) long, with tails about 45 cm (17 inches) long. they jump through trees using their fingers to hold onto branches and their claws to dig under the bark to search for insects to eat. they also eat some snakes, small lizards and small fruits.
