Animal Life - Monkey Day

 


I get a little bothered when people refer to a chimpanzee as a monkey, but the main difference between monkeys and apes is that apes don't have tails.

So above we have a Silvery Woolly monkey in the Yasuni National Park.  Photographed by Tim Laman, his mission was to witness the 10 species that live there.

White-Fronted Capuchin


Squirrel Monkey


Red Howler Monkey


Pygmy Marmoset


Spider Monkey


Golden-mantled Tamarin


Dusky Titi Monkeys


Night Monkeys


Equatorial Saki


I've never heard of this one!  And apparently, not much is known about them.  They live in Peru and Ecuador, but their range is unknown.
