Common Woolly Monkey
The common Woolly monkeys are found all throughout the Amazon. They like the humid conditions. Their fur can vary in color from dark brown, red- brown, grey, and olive. Their backside is normally a little lighter in color. Their faces are black and palms are pink. Their tails are very long and thick and can even support their body weight. They live in groups of 10 to 45, normally 2 to 6 in one tree. They eat mainly fruit, leaves, and seeds. The females will leave the group at maturity to avoid inbreeding. These monkeys are hunted by many predators such as cats, eagles and humans.
