Animals at the Woodland Park Zoo
	Golden lion tamarin Why do you think they call these small monkeys “golden lions?” It's because of the yellowish-orange hair around their faces that looks a little like a lion's mane. Golden lion tamarin babies like to ride on their parents' backs (like a piggy-back ride!). Only about 600 golden lion tamarins live in the wild in Brazil. Woodland Park Zoo has raised and sent some of our tamarins to live there, too. (Photo by Ryan Hawk)
