🐒Golden lion tamarin
Het gouden leeuwaapje of gewoon leeuwaapje (Leontopithecus rosalia) is een zoogdier uit de familie van de klauwaapjes (Callitrichidae). De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort werd voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd door Carl Linnaeus in 1766. Het is de bekendste van de vier soorten leeuwaapjes (Leontopithecus). Hij komt enkel voor in het ernstig versnipperde Atlantische regenwoud in het zuidoosten van Brazilië. Het gouden leeuwaapje is sinds de jaren zestig onderwerp van een intensieve beschermingscampagne, geleid door het Smithsonian Institution. Dit heeft geleid tot een wereldwijd fokprogramma in dierentuinen en een succesvol herintroductieproject. Eens bijna uitgestorven leven nu weer meer dan duizend gouden leeuwaapjes in het wild.
