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.
