Meet the PE Kids TV Host

Paradise Earth Kids t.v. is hosted by a cotton topped tamarin named Fuzz. Tamarins like Fuzz live in humid tropical forests, dry deciduous forests, and also secondary growth forests. Cotton topped tamarins are one of the three tamarin species. The Paradise Earth team found Fuzz in Belize, which is in the northern part of South America. Cotton topped tamarins mainly eat insects, fruit, plant exudates, and also nectar, but they have also eaten other things, like amphibians. Tamarins sleep in groups, which all leave the tree at the same time in the morning. During a regular day, tamarins like to forage, sleep, and also travel. Tamarins do not usually sleep in the same trees every night, so this helps them avoid predators.
