If you are asked to think about a monkey, the image of a big brown monkey will come to your mind. But the monkey we are talking about is so small and light that its weight is less than a tawa roti. Let us tell you about the smallest monkey in the world.
The smallest monkeys in the world
These smallest monkeys in the world have been seen in Australia. Actually, officials of Australia’s Symbio Wildlife Park said that two pygmy marmosets monkeys have been born there. These monkeys were born at the end of May. These twin monkey babies are so small and cute that their video has gone viral on social media. People are reaching Australia’s Symbio Wildlife Park from far and wide to see them. The names of these monkeys’ parents are Pepper and Matteo.
How small are they?
Talking about the weight of these monkeys, the weight of a baby monkey is about 15 grams. That is, a baby monkey is lighter than a roti on a tawa. People visiting Symbio Wildlife Park are very impressed by the actions of these children. Let us tell you, Pygmy Marmosets monkeys are known for their small stature. These monkeys are mainly found in the Amazon rainforests.
Their length is 12 to 15 centimeters. When grown up, these monkeys can weigh up to 100 grams. The most special thing about these monkeys is their tail. The length of their tail is up to 20 centimeters. At the same time, due to being so small, the species of these monkeys is rapidly getting extinct. This is the reason why scientists from all over the world are now taking a pledge to save the monkeys of this species.
