The golden marmoset is a small non-human primate, a species of the vervet family, the genus Marmoset. They are found in forested areas along the Atlantic coast of Brazil. Golden marmosets have a thick coat of golden fur that makes them appear larger than they really are. In fact, in the genus Marmoset, it is small. The current racial status of this species is not ideal. It is estimated that 98% of the rainforest habitat has been destroyed due to deforestation and agricultural development. Today, the number of golden marmosets is only about 1,000, the number living in protected areas or in captivity conditions. There are only 490.
