Common Marmoset - looks guilty to be caught eating the banana At the lodge we were staying at in the Brazilian Atlantic Coast Forest, they had moved the fruit table intended for the birds into a tree to keep it away from the tapirs (see South American Tapir). This was no problem for the marmosets, however, and they frequently came for some free meals - and which were great fun to watch.
