I featured this little monkey on the cover of my 2025 calendar. It is twelve inches square, making the Geoffroy’s tamarin on the cover about 70% actual size. No bigger than a gray squirrel, it is the smallest of the Central American monkeys. This one and its family played it cool until we finished our lunch, then snuck into the dining room at Canopy Tower to steal a snack when the big primates weren’t looking.
