There is just something about watching baby animals munch away that is oh so satisfying and incredibly adorable. Just take the precious little baby marmoset in this video, for instance.
They are a tenacious little creature, trying their darndest to eat a little tiny piece of apple; however, their tiny little mouth can barely sit around it, and they don’t have the teeth to really bite into that tasty fruit yet.
But as you’ll see in this footage, this little baby monkey’s attempts to eat that apple are nothing short of total cuteness overload!
Isn’t that just the most adorable thing you have ever seen in your entire life! We certainly know that this video is way up there on this cuteness scale for us.
One of the things that makes this precious little baby marmoset monkey, which is located at the Shoalhaven Zoo in the United Kingdom, so irresistibly adorable is how big their feet and hands are compared to the rest of their body.
Almost like a puppy whose paws are too big for their body, this little marmoset’s fingers and toes are so big compared to the rest of them, but their mouth is so small!

And they have the most wide-eyed, curious expressions as they try to figure out how to eat that little chunk of apple.
And just look at the way they fully tilt their head to the side when they see the camera, just like an ultra-curious human toddler! Everything about this video and this little baby marmoset is simply too cute for words!
More Cute Primate Eating Action
However, this little baby marmoset is not the only adorable primate at the Shoalhaven Zoo. As the other video below shows, they also have a beautiful cotton-top tamarin, too. And unsurprisingly, this curious little critter also enjoys munching on fruit during snack time.
In this video, this hungry little monkey is chowing down on a nice juicy lychee. And boy oh boy, does this precious little primate really seem to be enjoying themselves!
According to the zoo, “Both common marmosets and cotton-top tamarins are omnivores, enjoying a varied diet that includes insects, fruits, and even large amounts of tree gum. But when lychees are on the menu, they can’t resist these sweet seasonal treats!”
Honestly, these videos are just so adorable that every day should be International Watching Little Monkeys Eat Fruit Day!
