If you ever hassled your dad like this, at least he got the benefit of an (alleged) day off on Father's Day. Not so much for the male golden-white tassel-ear marmoset, also known as the gold-and-white marmoset. Family groups of this small Amazonian monkey can have just four members, but many boast a dozen or more extended relatives all living together in the rainforest canopy, looking out for each other and, yes, climbing on dad when the need for a little safety or reassurance is required.
