Red-mantled saddle-back tamarin
The red-mantled saddle-back tamarin (Leontocebus lagonotus) is a species of saddle-back tamarin, a type of small monkey from South America. The red-mantled saddle-back tamarin was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the brown-mantled tamarin, L. fuscicollis.[2][3] It lives in Ecuador and Peru and its type locality is in Peru, near the confluence of the Amazon River and the Napo River.[2][3] The red-mantled saddle-back tamarin has a head and body length of between 220 millimetres (8.7 in) and 270 millimetres (11 in) with a tail length between 275 millimetres (10.8 in) and 330 millimetres (13 in) long.[3] It weighs between 350 grams (12 oz) and 400 grams (14 oz).[3] The IUCN rates it as least concern from a conservation standpoint.[1] References
