• The YouTube video "The Marmoset Song" offers an unusual twist on The Shirelles' 1961 Motown hit "Mama Said." The video replaces the original lyric to the song, Mama said, with a caption that reads Marmoset. As The Shirelles sing Marmoset there'll be days like this, numerous photos of marmoset monkeys are shown.

• Marmosets

  Marmosets are small monkeys that live in South America. Pygmy marmosets are the world's smallest monkeys, with an average body size of between 4.7 to 6 inches in length. Pygmy marmosets (scientific name: Callithrix pygmaea) are primarily found in the tropical rainforests of Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia. Most pygmy marmosets weigh a mere 4.20 ounces. The animals can leap more than 16 feet, making them adept at climbing and holding on to various trees as they feed on the sap.PBS Nature: Animal Guide: Pygmy Marmoset
