Number 2 – Squirrel Monkey
Squirrel monkeys are so cute that it won’t take more than a few seconds to steal your heart. These little adorable monkeys are found in South America’s tropical rainforests. They are known for their shy and skittish nature.
Squirrel monkeys have a 35–42 cm tail and may reach lengths of 18–35 cm. The weights of male squirrel monkeys range from 800 to 1,200 grams. Females typically weigh 550–750 grams. Long, hairy tails, flat nails, and pointed claws are features that both males and females possess. A squirrel monkey’s food consists of fruit, nuts, spiders, young birds, bird eggs, and insects.
The first few months of a young squirrel monkey’s existence are spent clinging to its mother’s back. Squirrel monkeys are adorable and appear to be ideal pets. They are wild creatures and prefer the jungle over a house.
