Called a 'Cotton Top Tamarin'. Sadly these little guys and gals are frequent targets of poachers and are favoured in the illegal pet trade.. for those who want an exotic animal.

Noooooo! Nooo!!! no monkey/ape species is native to Australia. 'Cottontop Tamarinds' are from South America and they come in several different species... but then again if you hang out around our pubs/boozers/places of alcohol consumption long enough.. you might see some apes walking out!!!
