Their tails can grab things just like their hands. Most tamarins have rather sharp claws. Tamarins live all over South America. They live in places like Peru and Brazil. They can not survive in places much colder than that.
Tamarins have one to three babies a year.
The gestastion period is 145 - 150 days. There are fourteen different species of tamarins. About ten of those fourteen are endangered species. Those species who aren't endangered only have about 3,000 left. The golden handed tamarins like the ones that are in the Brandywine Zoo are found in Brazil.
