Golden lion tamarin is the best!

The golden lion tamarin is by far my favorite monkey! Though the other ones are cute I like this one best. Why do I like this one best? I'll tell you.
It all started one sunny bright day, when our father decided to take us to the zoo. When we got there we saw a bunch of nice animals, but then we came to a silver cage and saw a cute little golden monkey that looked like it had a mane. "What kind of monkey is that?" I asked Lucie. "The sign says that it's a golden lion tamarin." said Lucie. Now when I think of the golden lion tamarin I think of that story.

What is a Golden Lion Tamarin?

The picture above is a picture of the Golden Lion Tamarin, the reason this blog exists. The Golden Lion Tamarin is a New world monkey that has a large golden mane like a lion's, and it is of the tamarin monkey species. It lives in the coastal rain forests off of Rio de Janeiro, and is the closest to extinction of any mammal on earth, not only because of rapid industrial and agricultural growth, but also because their golden skin is extremely valuable. We have to convince people that the Golden Lion Tamarin's need is great, and this cute little monkey has to survive!
