A Sign of Hope
A tiny monkey named Little Leon was born last month in Brazil. It was an exciting event! Little Leon is a golden lion tamarin. People have been working to save this kind of monkey because it is endangered. There are very few left in the world. But that may be changing! Little Leon is believed to be the 1,000th wild golden lion tamarin.
