Callithrix argentata The silvery marmoset (Mico argentatus) is a New World monkey that lives in the eastern Amazon Rainforest in Brazil.

[1][4] The fur of the silvery marmoset is colored whitish silver-grey except for a dark tail.

They live together in small groups and mark their territory with scent glands, driving out intruders by shouting or by facial expressions (lowered brows and guarded lips).

To a lesser extent, they also eat bird eggs, fruit, insects, and small vertebrates.

Studies show that Silvery Marmosets prefer secondary growth forests and edge growth forests due to some of the benefits that the habitat presents such as an abundance of insect prey and dense vegetation.
