301: White-headed marmoset
Marmosets are quite common in southeastern Brazil. You not only find them in the wild, but also high in the trees in city parks. You might meet them at Parque Municipal and Parque Mangabeiras in Belo Horizonte, in the immense Tijuca City Park in Rio de Janeiro, and – as shown here – in the forest of Morro do Convento in Vila Velha. This rock is more than 150 meters high, with the Penha Convent at the top. The convent is easily reached via a tarmac road, or via a stairway exclusive for hikers. During the walk you get a good impression of the vegetation of the Atlantic type jungle. Marmosets feel well at home there. On the picture is a so-called white-headed marmoset, with a curious upward look.

BELO HORIZONTE (MG)
Black-tufted Marmoset (Mico Estrela)
The black-tufted marmoset primarily lives in the southeastern region of Brazil, generally high in the trees. They prefer to consume tree saps, fruits, and small insects. In periods of drought, they may extend their diet to eggs and small vertebrates. These monkeys have a long tail, which is used for holding their balance. They are about 19 to 22 cm long. The monkeys are also found within the city limits of Belo Horizonte. They live on campus Pampulha of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, in the Municipal Park, and in Mangabeiras Park, where they are somewhat domesticated and do even approach small groups of visitors, in search of food. According to the park rules, it is strictly forbidden to feed the small animals. But of course these animals are not literated, and they still try to beg food from the visitors. And of course, even despite the rules and the guards, there are people who do not resist to give them some food…
