The Tiny But Mighty Finger Monkey
Published by Interesting facts about finger monkey and some cute photos of them.
Finger Monkey
One for the Guinness Book of Records, a monkey the size of a human finger! Yes, you read it right. The name of this primate – Finger Monkey or the pygmy marmoset. Native to rain forests of South America, this tiny finger monkey or “pocket monkey” when fully grown measures only 5 inches (head and body) with 8-9 inches black-ringed tail. Adults weigh around 5 ounces. Finger monkey has almond-shaped eyes and a furry body. The finger monkey is an omnivorous, feeding on fruits, leaves, insects, small lizards, as well as small invertebrate. These highly sociable primates have a life span of 11 to 15 years. Warning! Don’t be deceived by finger monkeys’ cuteness! If provoked, they will counter by using their extremely sharp claws on you. Enough of the introduction, it’s about time to present these tiny but mighty finger monkeys.
B1: Hey brother, how do you feel? Are you alright?
B2: Not so well. I think Gulliver is tightening his grip on me.
This is what we call Synchronized Gymnastic.
Just be careful with me and don’t you ever dare to let go of me.
A couple of centimeters more and I’ll be on top of this Skycraper.. Just like my idol King Kong.
No matter what, I’ll try to cling on this finger with my dear life.
Now I see more problems coming our way. The Boss wanted us to be the main course in their Exotic Food Festival.
I’m dying of hunger. got to get hold of that big ripe banana.

Parang stuff toys lang. Now, I’m confused. You said that they are primates, how ’bout Tarsier being the smallest primate? Ang galing mo Papaleng.
