While the rest of the world mourns Steve “Crikey!” Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter, I’m holding silent vigil for one of two rare albino pygmy marmosets. They were born at the Froso Zoo in Sweden two weeks ago and one has already gone to the big rain forest in the sky. Best of luck to the remaining baby!

Pygmy Marmosets (Callithrix (Cebuella) pymaea) are the world’s smallest true monkeys. They are native to the Amazon rain forest and grow to be no bigger than 5 inches long and about 7 ounces.
