Pygmy marmosets (Callithrix Pygmaea) weigh a mere 0.5 oz (15g) at birth and commonly grow to an adult weight of just 4.2 oz (119g) on average, they measure 5.35in. (136mm) excluding the tail, which is usually longer than the body. Despite their size, they can leap up to 16ft. 5 in. (5m) into the air! They are found in the upper amazon, the forest of Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia, and Brazil.

These guys are so adorable! I've seen them and they do jump really long distances. They are also very curious little critters.
Monkeys always are curious lol ^_^
