The Bronx Zoo, New York

A young pygmy marmoset was photographed on December 14 clinging to a branch in New York City's Bronx Zoo. Born on August 20, this tiny primate will grow to a height of only about 5 inches (12.7 centimeters), not including its tail, and will weigh around half a pound (0.2 kilogram).

Pygmy marmosets, with their manelike head hair, are tree-dwellers that live in the dense forests of the upper Amazon Basin in Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru.
