Emperor Tamarin

The Emperor Tamarin (Saguinus imperator) is a tamarin native to the Amazon Basin and neighboring parts of South America. It was allegedly named for its resemblance to William II, the last German Emperor. The name was first intended as a joke, but has become the official scientific name.
