Golden Lion Tamarin

Leontopithecus rosalia

HABITAT
Golden Lion Tamarins live in lowland forests along the Atlantic coast.

BEHAVIOUR
Golden Lion Tamarins are diurnal creatures that live in family groups of two to 15 individuals. Within the group, only the dominant pair of Tamarins reproduces. Members of each group share a strong social bond. These pint-sized primates typically spend their nights in tree hollows or similar hiding places.

NUTRITION
Golden Lion Tamarins subsist primarily on fruits. They also feed on nectar, gum, and flowers, as well as small animals like insects, spiders, snails, lizards, and frogs.

REPRODUCTION
There is usually only one female that reproduces within a group. She will mate with several males between August and March. The female gives birth to twins after a rather short gestation period (125 – 132 days), which makes it possible for her to reproduce twice in one year on occasion. For the first few weeks, young Tamarins are constantly carried on their mothers’ backs. The entire group takes part in raising them.

STATUS
IUCN RED LIST
Endangered

POPULATION
Approximately 2,400

TREND
At the beginning of the 1990s, there were only around 550 individuals left in the wild. However, a breeding programm to reverse the decline in Golden Lion Tamarins had already been initiated back in the late 1960s. Many of the resulting offspring were introduced back into the wild, where they have helped the population recover. That said, the species is still very much endangered.

THREATS
Historically, Golden Lion Tamarins have been threatened by severe forest loss and fragmentation, as well as live capture for the pet trade. The population and available habitat of these monkeys are now so limited that they will hardly manage to further recover their population and expand their habitat.

The art of distillation goes hand in hand with chasing aromas and rendering them in liquid form – although alcohol is merely the medium, not the actual goal of the process. Meanwhile, the world of spirits is divided into categories rather than sensory components and the possibilities associated with them. It’s a form of conditioning that stands in contrast to our obsession with variety and innovation. Why do distillates and spir...

Konnichiwa, fellow proponents of botanical curiosity! The 10th year of our obsessive hunt for exotic aromas took us to the Land of the Rising Sun – to our most trusted cooper, to be exact. After starting our effort to acquire the Holy Grail of ageing barrels back in 2016 and spending two years pleading our case, we finally secured the right to purchase five of these prized vessels. We’re thus proud to p...

Sad but true

10 year anniversary

All right, we admit it: the idea of selling empty bottles is more than a little out there. Of course, that hasn’t halted our plans to do exactly that for our 10-year anniversary. The circumstances that gave rise to the idea are at once sad and alarming. In biological terms, we humans are also primates – but not one of the 283 species that are currently threatened with extinction. Indeed, our kind...

Delicate Delirium

A story about classic designs, the context of pleasure, and speaking without words

“ Dear Julia, we’re working with Lobmeyr on unveiling a new tumbler. Why don’t you get yourself to Vienna to have a look?” This was the basic gist of the job they gave me. I have to admit, my expertise in glasses up to that point was limited to “Mum’s good champagne flutes – the ones with the gold around the rim – don’t go in the dishwasher” and a mnemonic for somme...

Proboscis Monkey

Nasalis larvatus

HABITAT Proboscis Monkeys live along coasts and riverbanks in gallery forests, mangrove forests, and lowland rain forests. Their human neighbours call these long-nosed monkeys kera bellanda – “Dutch monkeys” – because their red noses remind them of sunburned Europeans. BEHAVIOUR Proboscis Monkeys are diurnal forest dwellers that are most active during the afternoon and evening. They spend their nights in trees immediately adjacent to significant waterways. Thanks to their partially webbed feet, they are...
