Pygmy Marmosets, Amazon

Say hello to the smallest member of our taxonomic order, the pygmy marmoset.  He really is absolutely tiny, weighing less than an apple and able to wrap his arms comfortably around a human index finger.

These little guys are so flexible they can turn their heads around 180 degrees, like an owl.  They also consume an unusual diet of tree sap and gum.
