What is the Name of the Tiny Monkey the Size of a Finger?

This weekend, when you should have been resting up or studying or going to a game or a hike or something, you were probably stressing out because we had not yet answered your most burning question:

What is the Name of the Tiny Monkey the Size of  Finger?



Though it's sometimes called a finger monkey, it is actually a Pygmy Marmoset. According to Wikipedia, it's about 5 inches long and weighs about 3.5 grams. That's crazy small, y'all. Found mostly in the South/Central American parts of the world, you can apparently buy one in the States if you want a pet. UTC totally allows pygmy monkeys in the dorms, so go for it! For those of you who might not be ready for full-time parenthood, here's a YouTube video for your enjoyment:
