Cotton top tamarins are one of three Amazonian species of tamarin and are found in a small area of northwest Colombia in a range bound by the Cauca and Magdalena Rivers and the Atlantic coast. It is considered one of the bare faced tamarins because of the lack of facial hair. Critically endangered species.
