About
The white-faced saki (Pithecia pithecia) is a saki monkey that inhabits tropical rainforests in Brazil, the Guianas region, Venezuela, and other areas. Males have white faces and black bodies, while females have gray bodies and black faces; male juveniles attain adult coloration at about 3.5–4 years of age. They are primarily arboreal and eat seeds, fruits, flowers, and insects. They move by leaping between trees using their long, bushy tails and live in small groups of 2–6 individuals, defending territories. Gestation lasts about 150 days, and their conservation status is Least Concern (LC).
