Golden lion tamarins are found in the Atlantic coastal forests of Brazil.
Golden lion tamarins have a special relationship with 96 plant species in the Atlantic Forest. The tamarins help spread seeds, and the plants provide food. They move around their territory, so seeds are spread far from the parent plant.
