Marmosets and tamarins live in the Amazon. The Satare Maues believe that these monkeys are the reincarnations of their dead children, and tame marmosets and tamarins are common pets among Satare Maue women and children. Some carry the monkeys on their heads, where the animals perform a useful service by eating their head lice.

yeah if i wasnt creeped out already, i now am tenfold

the pictures of the "finger monkeys" are real pictures of them when they're babies. they do get bigger (like squirrel sized) when they get older though.
