After leaving Guapi Assu Bird Lodge located on the REGUA (Reserva Ecológica de Guapiaçu) grounds the morning of October 24, 2011, we headed out to look for the Golden Lion Tamarins in a privately owned forest. This endemic primate was very charismatic proving why it is considered to be an icon of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The Golden Lion Tamarin, Leontopithecus rosalia, is also known as the Golden Marmoset. It is a small New World monkey belonging to the Callitrichidae family. It gets its name from its bright reddish-orange colored pelage and the long hairs around its face and ears which create a distinctive mane. The hairless face is a dark grayish-brown. Carotenoids in its diet along with sunlight are thought to give this primate its distinctive color. Temperatures were in the 70's on this clear day with blue skies.
