The primary responsibilities of Marmoset monkey Dads are to schlep the kids around, chomp through bark for midnight sap snacks, and teach the kids manners (throwing poop joke here.)
These twinmarmosets were born last year at the Bronx Zoo to three-year-oldmom, Squirt, and seven-year-old dad, King. I think Squirt’s somewhere getting a mani-pedi right now.
Thanks, Brinkie G.!

Happy Fathers’ Day King!!!
Looks like you’re doing a great job!!
Such a cute monkey dad and kids!!
If you had a monkey on your back (and one on top of that!), youd have an upside down smile too!
Disapproving monkeh wants to watch the ball game.
Baroo?

LOL@ Brandi!
i love his grumpy old man frown and furrowed brow hidden by his justin timberlake fur jacket.
That baby has such a human expression when we see his face- he’s like a human infant who’s entered that “pleasantly surprised by everything” stage.
Yay marmosets! Its a shame you can’t see anything for size comparison, these guys are teeny.

Aww, they have their father’s eyes
Awww, Lone beat me to the punch!!! I was thinking it gave a new meaning to having a monkey on your back. Hahaha…..very cute, they are very curious. I think curiosity makes you cuter.

GO, matriarchal marmosets!
I think they’re part owl. Half monkeh, half owl.
BRANDI lol!
Gosh! Someone discovered a bunch of baby Wookies!
In the profile views, they kind of have the dog-faced-boy look, like from an old-time freak show poster. All that swept back forehead hair.
I love the bitter beer face, AWWWWW!

omg, it’s a gaggle of mini-chewbaccas! now i understand george lucas’ inspiration for chewie! fricking adorable, and how cool is it the male of the species actually does something other than shag and run?
Berthaservant, I agree! I’m casting my vote for Brandi!
Tee hee. Mini-chewbaccas. So true!
Zanna….maaaaaaybeeeeee! He IS the most feared animal in all of Canada.
