EDITORS COMMENTS
Meet Leontopithecus rosalia, the enchanting golden lion tamarin, a small primate native to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Captured in this stunning portrait by renowned wildlife photographer Frank Greenaway, the golden lion tamarin's vibrant golden fur and distinctive mane create an irresistible allure. This New World monkey, also known as a golden marmoset, is a member of the family Cebidae, order Primates, and suborder Haplorhini. Leontopithecus rosalia is a diurnal, social species, living in family groups of up to 15 individuals. They are omnivores, feeding on fruits, insects, and small vertebrates. With their agile prehensile tails and opposable thumbs, these primates are skilled climbers and nimble navigators of their forest habitat. Their anatomy is fascinating – their long, curved claws are used for climbing and gripping, while their elongated snout and keen senses aid them in foraging for food. Despite their small size, they possess a powerful bite, which they use to defend themselves and their territory. This golden lion tamarin portrait by Frank Greenaway is a testament to the beauty and wonder of the natural world. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the habitats of these precious creatures and the biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest, which is under threat due to deforestation and fragmentation.
