Structural and Behavioural Adaptations

The cotton-top tamarin has two main structural adaptations that help them to compete in their habitat for resources. Their long tails help them to climb and help them get around especially when they are up high in trees. Their hands are small and allow them to grab, peel, and create things with their fingers, just like humans since they have a very similar hand structure. It allows them to get to certain foods and objects that other animals may not be able to get to. A  behavioural structure is when the tamarins will show their rear area to other groups they come in contact with, which is how the tell others that it is their territory.
