The tree-dwelling pygmy marmoset is the world’s smallest monkey, with adults only reaching up to 5 inches in length and 6 ounces in weight. And when they’re babies, like these albino twins born at the Frösö Zoo in Ostersund, Sweden in 2006, they’re exceedingly tiny and unbelievably cute. Pygmy marmosets, whose natural habitat is the western Amazon rainforest of South America, make a lot of loud noises for their tiny size – their whistles and squeals travel far throughout the jungle.
