Black-pencilled marmoset andbaby (Callithrix penicillata), ESALQ campus, Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil

Canopy crossing for black-pencilled marmoset and baby (Callithrix penicillata), in front of the Department of Forest Sciences, ESALQ campus, Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil. The canopy crossing was installed earlier this year in response to one or more marmosets being killed by vehicles in this location. While the canopy bridge is simple (canvas strap) it is being used by some of the marmosets. However, I also saw a marmoset running across the road right under the canopy crossing.
