The cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus), also known as the cotton-headed tamarin and crested tamarin, is a small New World monkey weighing less than 0.5 kg (1.1 lb). This New World monkey can live up to 24 years, but most of them die by 13 years. One of the smallest primates, the cotton-top tamarin is easily recognized by the long, white sagittal crest extending from its forehead to its shoulders. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
