Physical Characteristics

10 physical differences in species:
-The length of their tail is a continuous characteristic because each tamarin has a different length of tail that the length is determined from the parents genes.
- Their colors are spread out differently in some areas. This characteristic is continuous because the colors will be slightly different on each tamarin.
-The amount of offspring is a continuous characteristic because the number of offspring the parent has which is usually between 3 and 9, the more likely the offspring will have once it becomes a parent as well.
-Their mouth size is a continuous characteristic because each monkeys mouth will be a different size and the size can determine how well they can defend themselves.
-Their claw size is a continuous characteristic, but is not inherited by the parents.
-Some of the animals tails are round at the end and some are pointed. This is a discrete characteristic because there is a limited amount of ways the end of its tail can be shaped.
-The weight of the tamarins is a continuous characteristic because each tamarin will have a different mass due to the environment they have adapted to and live in.
-The length of their body is a continuous characteristic because their bodies are all different lengths just like their height. Their bodies are usually in the range of 7-12 inches.
-Their species is Cedipus, which is a discrete characteristic because there are limited types of species that they can be apart of, and it gets passed down in each generation is they mate with the same species.
-The white lines on their faces are a continuous characteristic because each tamarins markings are slightly different.
