Acari-Seidenäffchen

The Acarí marmoset (Callithrix acariensis or Mico acariensis) is a species of primate from the family of marmosets. Acarí marmosets are relatively large representatives of the marmoset group, reaching an average head-body length of 24 centimeters, a tail length of 35 centimeters, and a weight of around 420 grams. Their silky fur is white on the back and gradually becomes grayer towards the rear. The belly is bright orange, and the paws and base of the tail are also orange. The tail, which is significantly longer than the body, is black. The hairless face is flesh-colored, with black spots between the eyes and on the chin. Like all marmosets, they have claws instead of nails on their fingers and toes (except for the big toe).
