Geoffroy's tamarin (Saguinus geoffroyi), also known as the Panamanian, red-crested or rufous-naped tamarin, is a tamarin, a type of small monkey, found in Panama and Colombia. It is predominantly black and white, with a reddish nape. Diurnal, Geoffroy's tamarin spends most of its time in trees, but does come down to the ground occasionally. It lives in groups that most often number between three and five individuals, and generally include one or more adults of each sex. It eats a variety of foods, including insects, plant exudates, fruits and other plant parts. Insects and fruits account for the majority of its diet, but exudates are also important. But since its teeth are not adapted for gouging trees to get to the sap, it can only eat exudates when they are easily available.
Although a variety of reproductive methods are used, the most common is for a single adult female in the group to be reproductively active and to mate with multiple adult males in the group. After a gestation period of about 145 days, she gives birth to either a single infant or twins. Males contribute significantly to care of the infants. Sexual maturity is reached at about 2 years, and it can live up to 13 years. Geoffroy's tamarin is classified as being "near threatened" by the IUCN. Wikipedia →

No species of the same family or order lives in Utría National Natural Park, so these are its closest relatives here: other mammals.
Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Geoffroy’s Tamarin sighting in Utría National Natural Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and October
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Geoffroy’s Tamarin in Utría National Natural Park on a given day, against about 10% in March–April, June, August–September and November, the lowest months. May has too few records to rate.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Geoffroy’s Tamarin sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Geoffroy’s Tamarin sightings, Utría National Natural Park ranks 3rd at about 40%. The best odds are in Soberanía National Park (Panama, about 60%) and Chagres National Park (Panama, about 50%). All parks ranked.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Geoffroy’s Tamarin is recorded against all the mammals logged in Utría National Natural Park (7 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
