Description
The marmosets, also known as zaris or sagoin, are twenty-two New World monkey species of the genera Callithrix, Cebuella, Callibella, and Mico. All four genera are part of the biological family Callitrichidae.
Marmosets scent-mark their surroundings so aren’t suitable for keeping in a home. They’re highly intelligent creatures who get easily bored, which can cause intense stress. They’re highly social – in the wild, they create stable social groups, so to keep them alone is cruel and unnatural.
