🐾Emperor tamarin
Kejsartamarin (Saguinus imperator) är en art i släktet tamariner som tillhör familjen kloapor. De första europeiska zoologerna som beskrev arten tyckte att den påminner om den tyska kejsaren Vilhelm II och på så sätt fick djuret sitt namn. Epitet imperator i det vetenskapliga namnet var från början tänkt som skämt men senare blev det allmänt godkänt.
