Cotton top tamarins (C) have IMHO very fluffy hair, which gives them their name.

Now that's a hairdo! Love the specimen, but don't you hate it when they don't look up for their picture? :wink: The background is a really pretty emerald color.

Nice image of this tamarin, John. Good detail and beautiful bg. He certainly does have fluffy hair!

The monkey family can have so many interesting and funny variations; they are one of my favorite animals to observe at the zoo not only for their look but also their crazy antics. Love the hairdo on this guy. . .it is certainly fluffy! The background color really helps highlight this intriquing creature and his great hair. Cute expression too. :smile: Nice shot, John.
