¿Quién soy?
I am a nocturnal, solitary, and arboreal mammal. I like to live in the canopy of trees with abundant lianas exposed to the sun. My coat is long and thick, tan with greenish hues. My face has little hair and is light gray. My limbs are long, and I have strong curved claws that help me climb.
¿De qué me alimento?
I have an omnivorous diet, but I prefer the leaves and berries.
¿Dónde vivo?
I live in the humid and tropical forests of South America.
Para que me conozcas mejor
Difficult to detect.
We are a very complicated species to study due to our nocturnal habits, slow movements, and the camouflage provided by the microorganisms that colonize my fur, giving it a grayish-green hue.
