Bearded emperor tamarin (Saguinus imperator subgrisescens)

This tiny, tiny tamarin is found in the wet forests where Brazil and Peru border each other. They eat fruit, flowers, fungus, and tree sap- but they’re apparently too lazy to dig their own holes in trees, so they wait for a different species to do it for them!

I now headcanon Wukong having whiskers. You're right that is adorable

Fun fact! Every primate barring great apes (+humans) have whiskers! They arent as prominent as in cats, but they're there. Its why most wild monkeys dont really grow pronounced facial hair.

Macaques for example, tend to have faint whiskers on their cheeks - with bonus chin whiskers being common in females.

Emperor Tamarins, in contrast. Have very prominent whiskers in addition to a "moustache";

Stone Monkeys sort of resemble Macaque demons, but they have bonus traits that make them look a little "off". Having more prominent whiskers could be one!

Wukong grew his whiskers in when he was young, and boasted forever that he was soon going to have glorious facial hair like some of the older celestials. He got so mad when he learned thst Macaque managed to grow a goatee/beard, even just for a disguise.

Macaque may let his whiskers grow out for once just to annoy Wukong further. >:3

Bearded Emperor Tamarin

I wanted to make bearded emperor tamarin oc here's the wip

Still figuring out thier color pallet

[thegreenwolf]

For today's Zooly Art Challenge prompt, I chose the bearded emperor tamarin (Saguinus imperator subgrisecens), named because of its resemblance to Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany, who had rather impressive facial hair. I like to think of them as "little old man monkeys", and I had a lot of fun doing a facial study of this individual. Ink pen and Copic markers.

Organism of the Week -  Bearded Emperor Tamarin

      The bearded emperor tamarin or scientifically, the Saguinus imperator subgrisescens, is in the Animalia kingdom, Chordata phylum, Mammalia class, Primates order, Callitrichidae family, and Saguinus genus. 

      The bearded emperor tamarin is described as a monkey subspecies of the emperor tamarin, distinguished by their drooping white mustache. Their fur is gray and dotted with yellow or brown spots. They have black hands and feet with a long brown tail up to 15 inches (38.1 centimeters) in length. On each limb, they have claws used to climbing trees. They grow up to 10 inches (25.4 centimeters) and weight 1 pound (.45 kilograms). Bearded emperor tamarins are very social and they live in social groups of two to fifteen others, led by the eldest female of the group and followed the other males. When they sense danger, they shriek to warn the others members to defend their territory. Their decline of population is caused by predators such as wild cats, dogs, snakes, and birds and also humans destroying habitats. Bearded emperor tamarins are omnivorous, eating both plants and animals. Their plant diet consists of fruit, nectar, and tree sap. Their animal diet consists of insects, bird eggs, and small reptiles.

      The bearded emperor tamarin is found in tropical rain forests in Central and South American from southwest Amazon Basin in Brazil, eastern Peru. and northern Bolivia. They are most active during the day, leaping on trees with their social groups and they sleep in the trees during the night. 

The bearded emperor tamarin breeds April to July in which the female emits pheromone chemicals, alerting the males. In each group, the two oldest males and two oldest females breed and reproduce. The female’s gestation period lasts between 140 to 145 days, giving birth to two or three young. The whole tamarin group takes care of the young and the males usually carry and groom the babies. The baby tamarin walks at 2 to 5 weeks and eats solid food at 4 to 7 weeks. They become independent at 10 to 18 weeks but they still stay within their group. They are weaned at 15 to 25 weeks and reach sexual maturity at 2 years old. 

Fun Fact: The emperor tamarin is said to resemble the facial hair of the last emperor of Germany, Wilhelm II.

Sorry if this is too dumb but is something I always wondered do other primates have mustaches? Or facial hair?

I am so glad you asked.

The De Brazza's monkey, with a lovely beard,

The emperor tamarin, with a marvelous mustache,

The Blue Nile patas monkey, who has possibly the most obvious facial hair in the patas monkey family (although other types of patas monkeys have mustaches too, they are more subtle.)

Primate tournament: final round

Bearded emperor tamarin (Saguinus imperator subgrisescens)

This tiny, tiny tamarin is found in the wet forests where Brazil and Peru border each other. They eat fruit, flowers, fungus, and tree sap- but they’re apparently too lazy to dig their own holes in trees, so they wait for a different species to do it for them. And, of course, they have those magnificent moustaches.

Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus)

These large tree-dwelling apes are found only on the island of Borneo. They are highly sexually dimorphic, with older males growing large cheek flanges. They eat fruits, leaves, flowers, bark, honey, small animals like insects, spider webs, fungus, and soil. They build complex nests to sleep in, and have been observed using leafy makeshift ‘umbrellas’, sticks to obtain foods like ants, and leaves to hold spiny fruits.
