A tranquilised golden lion tamarin is inspected, weighed, and measured in the lab by a research biologist. These are the adorable images of a group of endangered monkeys having their regular health check up. From having their weight checked in tiny scales to measuring their size the cute creatures are happy to follow doctors orders. The golden lion tamarin is endangered with less than 4,000 believed to still be living in the wild. Spread across three locations on the coast of southeastern Brazil, tamarins are regularly monitored to aid the growth of the species. Photographer Jami Tarris travelled to the Atlantic Forest in Rio de Janeiro to photograph the mammals. (Photo by Jami Tarris/Caters News)
