An [incredibly awesome] abandoned baby monkey has turned adversity into education after becoming a cute and cuddly ambassador for wildlife. The six-week-old marmoset was abandoned when her mother could no longer produce enough milk and is now fed and cared for around the clock by a carer at Western Sydney’s Wild Animal Encounters.
Yet to be named, the tiny marmoset will visit schools, shopping centres and corporate events to promote wildlife conservation. Western Sydney’s Wild Animal Encounters director Ben Britton said: “She’s a gorgeous little monkey. The common marmoset is one of the smallest primate species on Earth, they don’t grow very big at all. She only weighs about 70g.”

Less talk, more teeny tiny monkeys with teeny tiny tongues!
Wow.
