<div class="tree_txt_unlinked"><p><em>Sanguinus</em>,
or tamarin monkeys, are the widest-spread callitrichine group found
throughout Amazonia. Up to twelve species may be recognized. All are
small-bodied, have long trunks, legs, and tails. They feed primarily on
exudates (gum and sap from plants). They are distinguished from other
callitrichines by their small, unstable social groups.</p>
