Golden-Headed Lion tamarins have thick coats to keep them warm throughout the storms and sleep high in the forest trees so the water doesn't get to them; they hide in the bushes to try to keep dry.
Golden lion tamarins are small primates belonging to the family Callitrichidae, which includes marmosets and other tamarins. They are specifically classified within the genus Leontopithecus, making them closely related to other lion tamarins like the black lion tamarin. These primates are native to the Atlantic coastal forests of Brazil and are known for their striking golden-orange fur and social behavior. Golden lion tamarins play a crucial role in their ecosystem, particularly in seed dispersal.
It is estimated that there are around 3,200 golden lion tamarins left in the wild. Conservation efforts have been made to help protect and increase their population.
