American tamarin lemur (SciiFii)

The American tamarin lemur (Saguinulemur borealis) is a species of adapiform primate that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relatives of the American tamarin lemurs are any adapiforms of the genus Notharctus. The fur of the American tamarin lemur is predominantly yellow-orange colored, with brownish speckles and a white underbelly. The hands and feet are black and the tail is banded with a white tip. The American tamarin lemur reaches a length of 23–26 centimetres (9–10 inches), plus a 35–41.5 centimeter (13.8–16.3 inch) long tail. It weighs approximately 500 grams (18 oz). American tamarin lemurs consume a wide range of specimens in their daily dietary routine. They eat fruits and flowers, many of which are readily available due to their flourishing vegetational habitats. They also eat the exudes of plants such as gums and saps, easily gouged from the trees they are living in. Many also choose to consume animal prey, such as insects and frogs, depending upon what type of forest they are located in. American tamarin lemurs behave actively, rapidly, gracefully, gregariously, and playfully in the wild. In captivity the American tamarin lemurs are very social and interactive with humans and other sapient species. Communication is a key behavior, a facilitation of cohesion and coordination among group-living American tamarin lemurs. The conservation status of the American tamarin lemur is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American tamarin lemur's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
