August 25, 2006: Albino pygmy marmoset babies
http://cellar.org/2006/albinopygmymarmoset.jpg
Happy Friday. The Pygmy Marmoset is the smallest of all the monkeys. So a baby pygmy is going to be really tiny, and if it's albino, it's a real oddity. http://cellar.org/2006/albinopygmymarmoset2.jpg These babies are from the Froso Zoo in Ostersund, Sweden. Below, what they look like when older. The adult runs between half a foot to a foot long so they really are small. http://cellar.org/2006/albinopygmymarmoset3.jpg http://cellar.org/2006/albinopygmymarmoset5.jpg |
Mmmm, tasty....
/Finger lickin' good? |
Welcome to the Cellar, todd. Did you bring the potato salad? :D
The first picture reminds me of the second generation of Gremlins...after the first got wet. |
I was thinking that was the cover of the O' Reilly vi book, but thats a tarsier.
That's the animal on the AspectJ book. |

Are those real albinos, or just silver-maned? Looks like they have plenty of pigment in their faces, actually more than the grown-up non-albinos.

Who's Salacious Crumb? (great name, btw, right up there with Needius Grub)
the last one looks like that creature-thing that was clinging to the airplane wing on that Twilight Zone episode starring the Shatner. |
I believe Salacious Crumb was Jaba the Hut's "pet" in Star Wars. The little creature that sat up around his shoulder. Actually, I thought that this unfortunate creature looked even more like Salacious Crumb.

It looks more like a monkey-owl hybrid in the first "grown-up" picture

Next to Ocelot, Marmoset is one of our more popular words in the house and on the street. Glad for this thread since inch3 asked waht a marmoset looked like. now I can also introduce him to the concept of pygmy and albino at the same time.
It's a trifecta of entertaining words. |
