    Like many of your photos, I've never seen this specie in my life. This is awesome. We just crossed the 1500 species milestone. Posted 12 years ago

The Red-backed bearded saki

The Red-backed bearded saki, ''Chiropotes chiropotes'', is a species of bearded saki, a type of New World monkey, from South America. It is found north of the Amazon River and east of the Branco River in Brazil and the Guianas. It is possible the scientific name ''C. chiropotes'' belongs to the more westernly brown-backed bearded saki, in which case the correct scientific name for the red-backed bearded saki would be ''C. sagulatus''.
