¿Quién soy?
I am one of the largest primates in South America. My coat is dense, short, and thick, with a coloration that can vary between reddish, brown, and grayish tones. My prehensile tail is super strong and helps me move between the trees of the forests where I live. I am active during the day, and I can live in groups of up to 70 individuals.
¿De qué me alimento?
My diet consists of ripe fruits, leaves, seeds, and insects.
¿Dónde vivo?
I live in the primary forests using the tallest trees for my daily activities. You can find me in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru (Loreto), and Brazil.

Communication between monkeys?
To communicate between us, we make loud vocalizations, facial expressions, and other visual behaviors. These vocalizations help us to alert the rest of the group in case of danger.
