What is a Voxxie?
A Voxxie is a small creature, around the size of a rat. They are in fact blind; living deep in under the earth, the need for sight was not necessary with the unfathomable blackness. Regardless of their lack of sight, they are no where near helpless. With their highly sensitive noses, ears and sense of touch, they are able to make their way around quite easily. They usually live in colonies of up to 15 or so Voxxies, although there is no hierarchy; just all living together. They are omnivores, eating whatever is available to them, but they are never cannibalistic. The fluffy hair around their ears and tails is actually a very unique system, the hairs are highly receptive to vibrations and help the Voxxie maneuver in the dark tunnels. All Voxxies have some some sort of glowing marking, no one knows exactly why, but it is believed that the markings give off some sort of smell, or sound that only other Voxxies can detect...and it is thought that this helps in knowing who is who.
This is NOT part of an event.
This year there was no CNY event simply because there wasn't enough time to plan one and get something fun set up. Still, I really wanted to make a Chinese New Year voxxie. Since this year is the year of the red fire monkey and it comes up with a picture of a Golden Lion Tamarin if you look through a few images, I decided that's what I would base this guy off of. The markings come from the colors of its habitat, the Atlantic Forest in Brazil.
Since I haven't been around for a while this is going to be a relatively simple contest to get back into the flow. I would like you to find me a cute picture of a Tamarin. Any kind, doesn't have to be a golden lion, but bonus points if it is

Pretty up is allowed and encouraged. Because the contest is simple we'll keep it short. The end date will be February 25th, two weeks.
