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.
