Marmosets are very small monkeys. They are the same size as cats. Adults around 2-3 kg and new born babies the size of a fat hamster.
They are in great danger of extinction and are kept in a few zoos in the UK, usually with their close relative, the Tamarins.
I suggest you look out for those as well as they look very similar ... maybe even cuter.
I hope you are not thinking about getting one.. as these little things as they are born to live in the wild and not for pets.. remember they have very sharp teeth and draw blood easily, if you are interested in monkeys etc take a trip to Monkey World in Wareham in Dorset you can see how they live and what they get up to as these little things where captured and left after the hobby wore off you can even adopt one while you are there and it helps when people do this as the people that own the Sanctuary rely on people to donate food and adopt these monkeys..
