The World's Smallest Monkeys 'Pygmy Marmosets'
Pygmy marmosets are the world's smallest monkeys.
Researchers from the University of Salford in England recently discovered that the animals make up two different species.
One of the species can be found in northwest South America, and members of the other exist south of the Amazon River.
However, the scientists do not yet know which of the two species should take the name pygmy marmoset, originally given to both.
Pygmy marmosets are 4.6 to 6.2 inches long, and their tails can be up to nine inches.
While the pygmy marmoset holds the title for the smallest monkey, it is not the world's smallest primate.
Rather, a species called the mouse lemur is the smallest primate.
