Lesson's saddle-back tamarin
Lesson's saddle-back tamarin (Leontocebus fuscus) is a species of saddle-back tamarin, a type of small monkey from South America. Cruz Lima's saddle-back tamarin was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the brown-mantled tamarin, L. fuscicollis.[1][2] Genetic analysis showed it to be more closely related to the black-mantled tamarin than to the brown-mantled tamarin.[2] Its type locality is in Colombia, in Plaines de Mocoa, Putumayo, between the Rio Putumayo and Rio Caqueta.[1] It also lives in Brazil.[2]
Lesson's saddle-back tamarin has a head and body length of between 212 millimetres (8.3 in) and 234 millimetres (9.2 in).[2] Males have tails between 296 millimetres (11.7 in) and 383 millimetres (15.1 in) long, and females have tales between 337 millimetres (13.3 in) and 362 millimetres (14.3 in) long.[2] It weighs between 350 grams (12 oz) and 400 grams (14 oz).[2]
The IUCN rates it as least concern from a conservation standpoint.[3]
