Brown-mantled tamarin in Zoo Parc Overloon Sorry for the poor quality, these tamarins are very dark and were in a dark sheltered cage, making it hard to capture their fast-moving action. Notable about these species is that only the dominant couple of the larger group reproduce and that it is the father that carries around the young. They are omnivores, eating fruits, seeds, small reptiles, and eggs. This particular one is the "weddelli" sub species.
