Callicam How To See The Common Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)

Since 1990 the Wisconsin Primate Research Center has provided live displays of common marmoset families. The Callicam provides an unique opportunity to observe the family currently in the display.

The Callicam website can be found at: http://callicam.primate.wisc.edu/

The Current Callicam Family

The current common marmoset family on display was introduced to the enclosure on November 16, 2000. The family members include Mom, Dad and their 4 kids.

 
Name Age
Chandler (stepfather) 5 years old
Angelica (mother) 3 years old
Lucifer 19 months old
Pickachu 14 months old
Raichu 14 months old
Mamoru 9 months old
Sammy 9 months old
Viv 4 months old
Alan 4 months old


Look for the family to grow over the next year as Angelica should give birth every 5 1/2 to 6 months.
