The smallest monkey in the world is only about 15 cm tall. 
Native to the rainforests of northern South America, the pygmy marmoset  tops out at an adult weight of approximately 4 ounces! They typically  reside in social groups of about 15 members, which consist of a mating  couple and all theiroffspring.                                   
                     They defend their home area of less than an acre through calling, chasing, and exposing their distinct white genitals.
