A marmoset is being brushed with a toothbrush, and she likes it.
Dwarf playfishor marmozetka - the smallest monkey in the world that lives in the Amazon. Ninita, living in captivity, has become the face of the entire breeding program of the species, although these toys are still less at risk than the rest of primates. The Foundation for the Preservation of Rare Species is engaged in the rescue of animals, including these dwarf monkeys. Since Ninita was born deaf, her parents abandoned her. Wounded, three weeks old, she was found and fed by people. Since childhood, Ninita loves several things: eating, playing, climbing and combing her hair with a toothbrush. The monkey gets a genuine pleasure from a light massage with bristles and combing her fur coat.
Looking at the monkey baby, it is important to understand that behind a sweet appearance lies a living creature that suffers not only from the constant reduction of forests - its natural habitat - but also from human stupidity. Marmozetka are victims of the illegal animal trade because of their charming appearance and peaceful nature. So enjoy the touching video of the affection of Ninita and her guardians - and never buy exotic animals illegally exported from their home. Those who are not indifferent can make a donation on the foundation website.
