Gracias por el ID, Carolina. Si que era jovencito. Tenia una carita tan bonita..me dio pena que estuviera en una jaula.

I believe this little monkey is in the Callitrichidae family, maybe the Saguinus genus... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callitrichidae Saguinus oedipus or geoffroyi, it looks like a baby.
