What is a golden lion tamarin made of?

Someone asked me this and I don't know the answer.

Um, monkey parts, like all other monkeys. Except that golden lion tamarins are considered to be exceptionally cute because of their reddish gold fluffy fur and tiny features.

The golden lion tamarin is a small monkey native to the eastern rainforests of Brazil. The golden lion tamarin is today considered an endangered species as there are estimated to be around 1,000 golden lion tamarin individuals left in the wild.

Golden lion tamarins are best known for their bright fur which (as the name suggests) is golden and orange in colour. The golden lion tamarin is one of the smallest primates in the world with the average golden lion tamarin adult growing to just 20cm tall! The golden lion tamarin also has an incredibly long tail which is often longer than the golden lion tamarin's body. Despite the long length of the golden lion tamarin's tail, it is not prehensile which means that the golden lion tamarin cannot use it's tail to grab onto trees and hold on.

The golden lion tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia, Portuguese: mico-le?o-dourado [?miku ?i???w? dow??aeu]) also known as the golden marmoset, is a small New World monkey of the family Callitrichidae. Native to the Atlantic coastal forests of Brazil, the golden lion tamarin is an endangered species with an estimated wild population of about 1,000 individuals spread between three places along southeastern Brazil, and a captive population maintained at about 490 individuals among 150 zoos

You do realize that the golden lion tamarin is an animal, right?

He is made of exactly the same things you are, just smaller.
