SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry - Animal Portraits - Baby Marmoset Monkey Eating Macoroni

mostly.nature (59)in #steemitphotochallenge • 7 years ago (edited)

This is a baby Marmoset monkey eating some macaroni. The shot turned out not too bad considering it was taken through glass. I took the photo this morning while visiting the Zoodoo zoo near Richmond in Tasmania. Marmosets belong to the genus Callithrix. If anyone knows specifically which species it is, I'd love to know. (The adults have white ears).

The photo was taken with a Canon 7D DSLR and the Canon EF 100mm f2.8 Macro USM Lens.
