This Pygmy Marmoset is a funny looking little guy:

In this photo released by the Wildlife Conservation Society, a young pygmy marmoset holds on to a branch at the Bronx Zoo in New York, Thursday, Dec. 14, 2006. This is one of two marmosets born on Aug. 20, and can be expected to reach a height of five inches and weigh in at one half pound. One of the smallest of all monkey species, the pygmy marmoset inhabits the jungles of Brazil, Ecuador and Peru.
