Scientists have studied the common marmoset, a South American primate, and found that they experience a sort of “sympathy pregnancy” which causes them to double their weight while their mate is pregnant.
When in the canoe, the marmoset played with Grampus, as the dog was named; and when on shore it invariably travelled on his back.
It was a peculiar and remarkable and altogether extraordinary monkey, that tiny marmoset.
Marmoset was fonder of riding than walking, so that Grampus had enough to do; but he did not put himself much about.
Marmoset crossed over walking, like a tight-rope dancer, being quite au fait at such work.
