Titi monkey

What is a "titi monkey"?

The titi monkey is a small to medium-sized monkey species found in South and Central America. They are known for their soft fur, long and fluffy tail, and typically monogamous social structure. Titi monkeys are arboreal primates, spending most of their time in trees, and are recognized by their distinctive appearance and playful behavior. They are known to form close bonds with their mates, engaging in grooming and vocal communication, and are generally found in small family groups. Titi monkeys are an important part of the neotropical rainforest ecosystems, contributing to seed dispersal and insect control through their foraging and feeding behaviors.
