Pale-headed saki monkey

Once you see a picture of a pale-headed saki monkey, you’ll never forget this distinctive-looking primate. The males have a short-haired white face and a long-haired black body, while females are grayer and have a stripe on their faces. They live in the trees of the Amazonian rainforest.

These monkeys are strong jumpers and have been seen leaping over 30 feet to escape a predator. Living nearby are various monkey cousins, including the brown-backed bearded saki monkey which is found in Brazil’s Amazonian Rio Negro region.
