M is for… Marmoset

Published on August 6, 2014 • Last updated November 29, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

Marmoset by Elizabeth's Kitchen Diary

This week for PODcast’s Alphabet Photography Project M is for Marmoset. 

My husband and I recently took our two younger children (the eldest didn’t want to come with us) to the mainland for their first proper summer holiday adventures away. It was the first time our youngest had ever been to the mainland (and the second time for DD – whose adventures off the island earlier this year to Plymouth can be found here) and we took him to an aquarium after his very first train ride – a coal-powered steam train in the Lake District no less!

I took this snap while he was admiring the marmosets in the aquarium. The poor marmoset looks very protective over his dinner – two little monkeys checking each other out!

I can’t help but feel slightly guilty that the marmoset is behind a glass wall and not free in the wilds of South America where he belongs.

I will be blogging our adventures south (and we had a lot!) when I get the time over the coming weeks.

    They are so cute, but I agree, they really should be in the wild with their habitat well protected.

    Most parks are especially to take care of protected species, so I tell myself that it is for the good. It’s not like when I was little and you would find all sorts of wonderful creatures sadly just kept behind bars for the sake of it.

    I too have mixed feelings about animals in such places but the children do love to see animals that they have read about in books…….it’s a hard one. We have been to this place too, it is not too far from where we live!

    They look like they are sizing each other up 🙂
