The vast majority of the emperor tamarins diet consists of plant matter. They are also known to eat fruit, tree sap, insects, and small vertebrates. Occasionally they will rob birds' nests of their eggs. The types of insects they feed on include locusts, beetles, butterflies, Spiders, and ants. The small vertebrates include lizards and tree frogs. The small size of the Emperor tamarin aids them in eating food that other large primates are unable to obtain.
