The white-headed marmoset (Callithrix geoffroyi), also known as the tufted-ear marmoset or Geoffrey's marmoset, is a marmoset endemic to Brazil. It is known as the sagui in Brazil.
One of the more common cebids in captivity, many zoos keep and breed the species. In fact, some zoos have to use methods of stopping their animals' breeding.[citation needed]
