Pygmy Marmoset

Pygmy marmosets live 11-12 years in the wild, but in zoos, they live into their early twenties. Marmosets often live in groups made up of an adult pair and its offspring; ranging from 2-6 members. Young marmosets typically remain in the group until after 2 consecutive birth cycles.
There are two subspecies of the pygmy marmoset:
• Cebuella pygmaea pygmaea – Western pygmy marmoset
• Cebuella pygmaea niveiventris – Eastern pygmy marmoset
