Uakari monkeys come from neotropical Amazon flooded or riparian forests. Their geographic range spans across sections of Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela.
These monkeys have a highly unusual and striking look. Long, loose hair covers their bodies, but their heads remain completely bald. They have almost no fat under their skin, so their faces look skull-like.
They have the most striking red facial skin of any primate. A bright red face reflects excellent health, and females choose mates based on this color intensity.
Like their closest relatives, they have projecting lower incisors. They travel in the lower tree branches in small groups or large troops of 100. They also climb into the high canopy to forage.
They eat mostly fruit. Unlike other local species, they consume a large amount of unripe fruit. They also eat flowers, seeds, invertebrates, buds and leaves.
Females give birth to a single infant. They only produce one baby every two years, which limits their population.
