Daily Cute: Ninita the Pygmy Marmoset Loves Her Toothbrush

http://www.care2.com/causes/daily-cute-ninita-the-pygmy-marmoset-loves-her-toothbrush.html

This adorable and tiny baby pygmy marmoset loves many things, including her toothbrush. Meet Ninita, a playful monkey (pygmy marmosets are the world’s smallest monkeys) who loves getting massages from a toothbrush and interacting with her humans. Ninita was born deaf in captivity and her parents rejected her. She has been hand-reared by the Rare Species Conservatory Foundation ever since, and no, she’s not an Ewok. (Though she bears a strong resemblance to one, but cuter.)
