Golden Lion Tamarin

Meet one of our cousins from Brazil!

Our Golden Lion Tamarin

Our plastic golden lion tamarin measures 1 1/4 inches long from nose to rump (not including the length of its tail). Our solid plastic tamarin has such realistic features, it can be used to illustrate school reports and projects, decorate rainforest-themed birthday cakes, used as party favors, and can be added to your rainforest or primate collection. It can also be used as a toy except for very young children (it's small). This monkey is made out of plastic that's slightly flexible, but not posable. Its name is moulded onto the bottom.

About Golden Lion Tamarins

The golden lion tamarin is a highly endangered New World monkey. It has a flat nose but its tail, although long, is not prehensile. It is found in the rain forests of Brazil and may only have 1000 individuals left in the wild. It is arboreal, diurnal and lives in small groups of about 14 individuals. It derives its name from its lion-like features. The golden lion tamarin is a reddish orange to golden brown in color. Its hair is longer and darker around the face, forming a mane on top of the head and on the cheeks and throat. Its limbs are slender yet capable with sharp claw-like nails (called tegulae), befitting its strictly arboreal life.

"G" is for what?

In our online gift shop, we have a lot of animals that start with "G"! Above is a plastic golden lion tamarin - a small monkey with a beautiful golden coat.

And of course, "G" is for gorilla, too! We even have a plastic white gorilla replica or toy that can be fun for all ages above about 2 and a half years.

In fact, we have lots of gorilla toys and gifts. Please come see them all!

Can you say "gecko"? That's almost the same sound a real gecko makes. We have gecko jewelry! Take a look at this beautifully hand-painted gecko pin!

What would "G" be without an animal from the Galapagos Islands! This Galapagos tortoise 3-D interlocking puzzle is one of our most popular toys. We have a lot of other 3D puzzles, too, and you can find them from the link above. Recently we created a new page just for Galapagos animals, and we have quite a few. Check them out here on our special Galapagos Islands wild animal page!
