Finger Monkeys

If it wasn't for the Internet...would you have seen or known about these little creatures?   I never heard of them and was sent to me via email.  I just had to share them with you.  They are so cute!

They are native to rain-forest of Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Colombia.  Finger monkeys are, as a matter of fact, pygmy marmosets.  They are also known by the names "pocket monkey" and "tiny lion".  This cute little primate hugs and grips on to your finger so tight that it pulls your heartstrings and you wish you could take it home with you.
