— welcome to my blog!

🐒 * FUSO'S INTRO

im a bit too lazy to properly make this part look nice but hello!! my name is fuso :)

i’m a brit that just so happens to be REALLY obsessed with simians and have been for about half a year now!

the purpose of this blog is pretty self explanatory, if i see any* post with any sort of primate in it, my self-appointed job is to identify it!

the idea mostly came around because one, i really love showing off, and two, practicing! i’m not the greatest at identifying every primate ever, feel free to correct me if ive ever gotten anything wrong ^_^ mistakes are just learning opportunities after all

* excluding posts containing media with primates being kept as pets or in visible distress. the two overlap a lot anyway but you get the point

my favourite apes are bornean orangutans, my favourite old world monkeys are red-shanked doucs, and my favourite new world monkeys are robust capuchins (cotton top tamarins are mega cool though)! my list of favourite simians by genus is at rentry.co/fusosprimates!

aside from simians, my other main interests are china, warships, flight rising and hetalia :D

really sorry for the sudden disappearance! i haven’t logged in to tumblr for a while since i’ve been distracted by other things.. </3

i might start posting monkey identification again if i start being more active again but primate of the day will probably be coming to an early end unfortunately since i kept stressing over it :< i’m sure i’ll be able to make up for it eventually though!

heres an old photo my mum got years ago of a northern white cheeked gibbon at a zoo to make up for it :)

Tamarins are fun because all of them have little freak faces that could look evil but instead they always look incredibly confused as to how the got out and about for the day

i know this blog is primarily just for identifying primates, but would any of you be interested in a primate of the day? trying to think of a way to keep my posting consistent and an excuse to show off my favourite primates daily ^.^

Ecuadorian Squirrel Monkey Saimiri cassiquiarensis macrodon

It is found in the western Brazilian Amazon, as well as Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. It had been considered a subspecies of the Guianan squirrel monkey, Saimiri sciureus, but was elevated to a full species, S. macrodon, based on a 2009 study. Based on subsequent genetic research it was reclassified as a subspecies of Humboldt's squirrel monkey
