This week I wanted to share some facts about monkey that was discovered only a few years ago in the Amazon Rainforest! It's a kind of titi monkey, called the Caquetá Titi.
Only around 250 of them are left in the world, which I think is very sad! Agricultural practices there are breaking up their habitat and making it hard for them to get to newer feeding areas. The Caquetá Titi monkeys live in a very small area of the Amazon Rainforest -- they only live in an area that is about 3.86 square miles in size.
Their fur is usually brown, and they have a lighter colored tail and a reddish-brown belly, neck and cheeks.
They're about the size of a cat and live in very small groups, usually made up of only 4-5 monkeys -- an adult pair who stay together for life, and their offsping that aren't fully mature yet.
