The smallest monkey is a dwarf

An amazing animal, similar to a tiny dwarf - a dwarf monkey game. Another so charming creature is hard to find on Earth.

It is the smallest monkey that inhabits Peru, Ecuador, Brazil and all along the Amazon coast. It hardly reaches ten to fifteen centimeters in the adult state.

But a baby doll can be proud of its tail. Its length even exceeds the length of the calf, reaching sometimes nineteen centimeters! Weighs the smallest monkey, too, quite a bit - no more than 150 grams.

In females usually a couple of cute toddlers are born, followed by a large family, because all members of the family live up to the fourth tribe. It is also noted that the mother is the member of the family, on whose shoulders the main duty is to feed the babies. The father and elder brothers and sisters are engaged directly in the upbringing of the growing cubs.

If adults deserve the name dwarfish, then the kids are the kind - the real "inch" and "boys with fingers." After all, in order to hug a human finger, the little cubs barely have enough little hands!

This crumb feeds on insects and fruits, preferring the fruits of gummy - close relatives of the famous sea buckthorn to the Russians. But most of all game trees like wood juice.

In captivity monkey-shorty people pamper apples, grated carrots, pumpkins, berries and bananas. Perhaps the smallest monkey is playful and in nature would not refuse bananas, but it would hardly be possible to clean such a machine, exceeding its own size by almost half, from the peel.

Despite the fact that mini-monkeys live in warm climates, their wool is struck by the density and variety of color combinations of fur, usually on top of a brighter, shifting downward into light colors.

This unique little monkey has such a long tail. He helps to make two-meter jumps and fly, escaping from the pursuit of enemies. Sharp claws allow the animal to move quickly along vertical trunks and branches.

And, thanks to a small weight, even an adult toy can easily withstand thin twigs. Therefore, to catch an adult without her consent is a difficult and almost impossible task.

Probably, this affected the cost of the game. The smallest monkey in the world has a price from 10000 rubles and more! However, experts are not advised to keep in the house of these lovely little animals.

Being quite sociable and extremely curious, gamblers are able in an hour to put in a flat such a mess, that overhaul will be the only way out of the situation. Sharp claws are able to pick out deep wiring in the wall, tenacious fingers break all the locks and spoil the water pipe. Their energy and imagination are simply inexhaustible!

Usually in nature gambling live 10 years, but in captivity their life time is reduced to 8. What is the reason: in nutrition or lack of fresh air, in positive emotions from communicating with relatives or "pressing walls" - scientists have not yet been able to find out.
