Conservation Status- Critically Endangered

Habitat- Northeastern Peru

Size (Weight/Length)- 1 kg; 33 cm

Diet- Fruits; Leaves; Seeds; Insects

Cool Facts- Considered one of the world’s rarest monkeys, the Rio Mayo titi monkey continues to disappear due to habitat loss, disease, and the illegal pet trade. These tiny monkeys live in small groups as they travel their forest home. As the majority of their home has been transformed into farmland, the monkeys are capable of living in high density areas with several groups inhabiting a single territory. While hunting for insects, the titi monkey is extremely stealthy and has a surprisingly high success rate. Conservation efforts are rushing to save the Rio Mayo titi monkey through protecting their remaining range from agricultural use.  Further research is currently being conducted for attempts at captive breeding in zoos and sanctuaries.

Rating- 12/10 (Hee hee, titi.)

BABY ALERT 🚨 We’re excited to announce we have a titi monkey baby! The new addition is doing well, and much to our surprise, has taken a liking to the cotton-top tamarin, who shares their habitat. Helping out with parenting duties, the baby can often be seen on the back of the tamarin. This is normal behavior for cotton-top tamarins, who often share care-taking responsibilities within their group and neighboring groups. See the family, every day, along the Tropics Trail.
