Black-chinned Emperor Tamarin

ugh

Except for its big toe, which has a nail, the animal has claws on all of its fingers and toes. Its long mustache is unmistakable, but it also has barely noticeable white hairs on its chin. However, the saguinus imperator appears to have a black chin. It has a mix of red, orange, and white hairs on its abdomen and chest. It has dark brown fur on its back. Its arms and legs have an orange hue on the inside. The animal grows to be 23–26 cm (9–10 in) long, with a tail that is 35–41.5 cm (13.8–16.3 in) long. It is roughly 500 grams (18 oz) in weight.

To identify predators or other tamarins, emperor tamarins use both vocal and olfactory communication.

Similar in size to the emperor tamarin, it consumes fruit, insects, spiders, tree sap, and nectar.

Reproduction

One or two young are typically born to females after a gestation period of 140–145 days.

The emperor tamarin is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN, but it is slowly becoming in danger of extinction through destruction of habitat. Many live in zoos or are illegally sold as pets.

In the wild, emperor tamarins exhibit lively, swift, graceful, gregariously, and playful behavior. The tamarins in captivity are quite gregarious and engage with people. A study by Kerry L. Knox. Donald Stone Sade discovered that tamarin colonies act antagonistically based on seniority in his study of the social behavior of emperor tamarins kept in captivity. Every element on a continuum from interactions between strongly dominating and strongly subordinate individuals makes up an agonistic network. Tamarins typically convey submission and danger in their relationships.

Black-chinned Emperor Tamarins are rarely found in Los Campos and Buena Vista, which are located near the left bank of the Rio Acre; and in the banks of the Purus River and Eiru River. The Emperor Tamarin occurs in Amazonian lowland and lower montane rain forests, seasonally flooded forest, remnant forests or fringe patches and secondary forest.
