    Wish it was that simple with some of the other marmosets and the tamarins in terms of names across languages but it isn't unfortunately (particularly the lion tamarins) so the scientific names do come in use sometimes.

    Thank you for your comment @Najade !

    So you have had experience with all three of these species, that is pretty amazing !

    I'm particularly impressed with the Gilbert's potoroo trapping, I have to ask how did it feel to see up close such an endangered species ?
