Seven of the eight common marmosets stolen from Alipore zoological garden on August 9 were rescued from a house in Chhattisgarh's Durg -- some 900 km from Kolkata -- on Friday night. One had died while in captivity.

What a beauty.....sad though, that people do these things. we here in Fl, have a big problem w/ people listing their pups babies on craigslist, people come look ,leave then come back and steal them, a man almost died, and the momma pupu got killed by the fleeing attackers, they ran over her like she was garbage, as they held 2 of her pups..... happens alot, always be careful.....

I hope these thieves are going to pay dearly for their deed.

Beautiful animals! I hope we can learn to love them, instead of "collecting" them. ~

I agree with Tere M. They are beautiful animals that have to be cared for and left alone to live their own lives in the wild. Not with man.
