The first exhibit at the Singapore Zoo. I thought he had a lot of zest for a tiny fellow. Although, they are not as small as the smallest monkeys from the Philippines (forgot their name). I chose to take an image from this angle as I wanted to show off its somewhat leonine mane. Having read that the tamarin can make distinct facial expressions which convey playfulness, dismay, fear and threat, I wonder if this particular visage is one of anger and malevolence, since there was this pesky photographer who went berserk with flash photography and probably half blinded this poor tamarin.

If he was human I would guess his expression was one of annoyance, but I don't have the book on Tamarin body language.
