#Regram #RG @na******eo: Image by @joelsartore | Golden-headed lion tamarins like this one photographed at the @dallas_world_aquarium are named for their striking, golden-orange manes around their faces. When threatened, these primates will fluff up their manes in order to make themselves appear larger and try to frighten their predators by flicking their tongues. They live in lowland forests of Brazil and are endangered due to severe destruction of their habitats. In the past 20 years, 50% of the golden-headed lion tamarin population has been eliminated, and if their habitat continues to be destroyed, we can’t expect to see them in the wild for much longer. Fight deforestation by living more sustainably. Vote with your dollar by making informed purchases of furniture, paper, and other rainforest-harvested items.
