Creature Awaits #218

Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry. Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )

Continuing with bright, sunny colors in our summer features! 🌅🏝️

The Golden Lion Tamarin

Scientific Name: Leontopithecus rosalia

Region: A small region of forests along the southeast coast of Brazil

Size: About 10.3" (~26.1cm) tall, not including their extremely long tail

Interesting Notes: These beautiful and bright golden monkeys are very energetic and social animals, living in troops of 2-8 individuals. (Thus, they don't really make good pets due to their social and environmental needs.) Sadly, their numbers were greatly reduced due to habitat loss; however, thankfully their populations have started to make a comeback due to conservation efforts - raising from their low point of 200 in 1981, back up to roughly 3,200 again in the wild today. : )

{Can't draw so I'm going to write it!}

Therian HRT Diary, Day One:

"I was nervous that the doctor would turn me down on account of the endangered status of my desired species. He assured me that if they could do dragons they would have no problem finding a way to do Leontopithecus rosalia as well. The consulation when really well. I expected as much. I've already done HormoneRT, what's a little HumanRT as well? He assured me that the two things would not react badly with each other and my prescription will be ready for me tomorrow!"

Therian HRT Diary, 1 month:

"I'm definately a lot more hairy that I was before and even my bald spots have filled in! Yessssss. The colour has almost completely changed too, becoming the lovely orange colour I always wanted it to be. The texture has changed too. It's hard to describe but it's definately more fur-like than hair-like now, so much thicker than I'm used to and a little itchy. That's fine though because my nails are thicker, longer and stronger too!"

Therian HRT Diary, 3 months:

"I have fur covering my entire body now, shorter and darker on my face of course. I'm starting to get a lot of pains in my joints, but I'm already kind of used to that having chronic pain. What's even better is that my canines are nice and long and sharp! I feel stronger and can climb a lot better than before. My tail is starting to come in and that hurts like Hell..."

Therian HRT Diary, 6 months:

"I can't wait for tail grown and bone changes to end, ahhhh...I don't regret the HRT but Goooood. I'm moving slower because it hurts too much. I'm lucky I won't actually shrink in size, I guess. That would have really started to hurt. My fingers are done though, I think. They're much longer and stronger. My thumb is technically still opposable as it hasn't change much but it's no longer in proportion to the other fingers which means I've had to learn to grasp and hold things like pencils in whole new ways. My tail is small, but cute and just as furry as the rest of me. Yeah, I think it's worth the pain."

Therian HRT Diary, 8 months:

"Still growing the tail...well, it is going to be pretty long when it's done. I can now run on all fours just as well as on two legs, if not faster and easier. It's good to be able to stand still so I can reach things though! Cravings for insects are off the charts. I asked the doctor about it and he said I should still eat food for humans, but can absolutely eat any insects a golden lion tamarin would too. Neat! I've had a lot of fun figuring out all the new flexibility in my body, but the aches are still there so I won't push it too far. My eyes have started to darken in colour too and I no longer have much of a visible eyebrow. Weird thing to change so late but I'm not complaining! My nose is finally changing shape too. I was worried it wouldn't and the human nose was starting to look really odd! My ears are growing in size, even though I can barely see them behind all this fur!"

Therian HRT Diary, 12 months:

"I think I'm finally done! My tail is longer enough to sweep the floor unless I choose to move it now. My body no longer aches as my new bone structure has settled, my facial features have done changing and I feel full of energy all the time! I'm spending a lot of my days in trees I could only have dreamed of climbing before the Therian HRT, and even met a couple more monkeys (not my species though :( ) and a bird this way! My move to a therian-friendly village took longer than I thought it would, luckily during this time I wasn't in a very conservative area. I did get a lot of looks though and a little bit of harassment. Things are much better here and they even welcome those who haven't had the therian HRT so my partner can live with me. I'm at the end of a cul-de-sac, my neighbours to the left are a seal and a aphid (what an unusual pair /pos), and my neighbours to the right are a squirrel, a mongoose and a rose-bush. I'd only heard of plant-based Therian HRT before so it was really cool seeing this mix of animal and plant to create something new. So far everyone is really accepting and just as curious to see a primate amongst their midst! I've never been happier : ) "

The Golden Lion Tamarin: A Symbol of Conservation

The Golden Lion Tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia) is one of the most charismatic and visually striking primates in the world. Known for their vivid golden-orange fur and playful demeanor, these small monkeys are not only a symbol of the lush Atlantic Forest of Brazil but also an emblem of the global conservation movement. Despite their charm and appeal, Golden Lion Tamarins face significant…

status: endangered

"In the early 1970s, there were as few as 200 golden lion tamarins in the wild. They were upgraded from critically endangered to endangered in 2003 following intensive conservation efforts. About one-third of the wild population today originated from golden lion tamarins raised in human care." - Smithsonian National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute

GOLDEN LION TAMARIN Leontopithecus rosalia ©Laura Quick

A striking species, golden lion tamarins are small social South America primates from the humid forests in the heavily populated Atlantic coastal regions of southeastern Brazil. They have a magnificent reddish-gold coat and a long, backswept mane. Once down to 200 individuals in the wild, intensive conservation efforts have helped the population recover. Still an endangered species, there are about 2,500 in the wild — about a third of which are descendants of golden lion tamarins raised in human care.

In 1981, golden lion tamarins became one of the first species to be designated as part of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums' (AZA) Species Survival Plan, with 143 zoos participating in the captive breeding program.
