With circa 150 living species, Brazil is – hands-down – the world’s most primate-diverse nation.
Colombia is also unusually primate-diverse.
You are looking at a small, arboreal, diurnal, monogamous monkey.
It eats fruits (& thereby distributes their seeds) & leaves (thereby, helping to “open up” the rainforest’s canopy, thus increasing the amount of light that reaches the forest floor) and insects. (it probably eats arachnids too)
Plecturocebus discolor has a number of “common” names; it is most commonly known as the white-tailed titi.
It is one of 41 New World monkey species that currently survive in Colombia.
