White-faced Saki (Pithecia pithecia)

This monkey has made its way to several "Weird animal" lists. Due to these animals being extremely shy their conservation status is anyone's guess. Saki couples bond for life.

I like your info here....
I think I remember this guy (or one that just looked alike) and I especially remember he and his wife continuously caressing each others hands. They just looked like newly weds. ;) Posted 14 years ago
