 **T**his small tamarin is one of four species in its genus. Perhaps it is also the best known species of tamarin – as it is covered in coat of uniform reddish-yellow fur, giving its name. Debate has arisen as to the true sister species of the Golden Lion-Tamarin – as to whether this is represented by the Black Lion-Tamarin, with jet-black fur [but a golden rump], or the Golden-Headed Lion-Tamarin – which possesses a golden head, but black fur. The tamarins serve as a living example of speciation – where the Black Lion-Tamarin and Golden Lion-Tamarin represent two evolutionary extremes, the Golden-Headed Lion-Tamarin and Black-Headed Lion-Tamarin perhaps represent a genetic midway point. This speciation also appears to have been rather rapid – it is not thought to have exceeded 1 million years. Lion-tamarins are so named for the sizable ‘mane’ that they possess on their face.
