Golden lion tamarin monkeys (Leontopithecus rosalia) exhibit a K-selected breeding strategy. This means they invest significant parental care and resources into raising a small number of offspring, typically giving birth to one or two young per litter. This strategy enhances the survival and development of their young in their dense, competitive forest habitat. Additionally, they often live in social groups that help in the care and protection of the young.
Golden lion tamarin monkeys have a long tail to help them balance and navigate as they move through the trees. The tail acts like a counterbalance, allowing them to make swift movements and avoid falls while leaping from branch to branch.
Tamarin monkeys were first described scientifically in the 18th century, with the common marmoset (a type of tamarin) being noted in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus. However, various species of tamarins were discovered and classified throughout the 19th and 20th centuries as more research was conducted in South America, where these primates are native. Their recognition and understanding have evolved over time with advances in taxonomy and ecology.
