Some tamarins have funny white mustaches that make them look very silly. Others have golden orange fur that shines in the sun. Tamarins have sharp claws instead of flat nails, which helps them grip onto tree bark.
Tamarins love to eat fruit, bugs, and tree sap. They use their sharp claws to dig into tree bark to find yummy sap. Tamarins also eat flowers and nectar from the rainforest.
