What type of animal is this?

Question
I have a picture an animal but I can't figure out what it is. It looks like a very tiny monkey. Can you point me in the right direction?

Answer
Dear Dennis,
thank you for your question.
It's hard to say without having seen the pictures. But it might actually be a onkey, the smallest species is the pygmy marmoset which reaches a size of only 4 inches.

Or you might have a picture of a Pygmy Tarsier, which is often called the smallest monkey in the world, but isn't a monkey. Tarsiers belong to the same groups as monkeys (primates), but have a family of their own. Pygmy tarsiers are only as big as a thumb.
I hope I was of some help to you
