    The silvery marmoset is a small South American primate found in northern Brazil. It is classified as an omnivorous mammal in the order Primates, family Callitrichidae, and genus Mico. As an omnivore, it exists midway in the local food chain, preying on insects, spiders, fruits, and small animals, and is preyed upon by larger cats. Some unique traits of the silvery marmoset include communicating through lip smacking and eyebrow lowering, commonly giving birth to twins, having small teeth and claws instead of nails. Threats like deforestation and floods impact its habitat and food sources.
