The tamarin is a small monkey that leaps between trees, using agility to survive. But as forests shrink, they must adapt. With fewer trees, the tamarin evolves gliding skin, similar to a flying squirrel, to soar between distant branches. Their long, prehensile tongue helps them grab nectar and insects midair. To land safely, they develop sharp, curved claws for a strong grip on tree trunks.
