Callitrichidae: Marmosets, Tamarins, and Greek Monsters (Oh My!)

In this episode we'll give you a crash-course on Linnaean taxonomy (the gift you never knew you wanted). Then we'll fill you in on some super cool and tiny monkeys that live in the Americas. Marmosets and Tamarins use a fairly unique mating strategy and boy-oh-boy does it pay off. Make sure to listen to this week's episode to find out how these little guys manage to reproduce like bunnies, and learn how marmosets are related to a mythological beast from Ancient Greece.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/teach-me-something.
