Cotton-Top Tamarins of South America

Compliments of Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World's fourth Orlando Theme Park, Animal Kingdom, displays animals from every continent of the world. As with typical Disney style, the park also features rides, shows, parades and themed restaurants.

Here two cotton-top tamarins, highly endangered primates in the tropical forests of South America, pose for the camera. These Tamarins can be seen as you wind down the trail to Rafiki's Planet Watch at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
