Here's another list of monkeys: platyrrhines, or "New World monkeys", #5 in the order Primates and #34 overall for mammals. This took a while; the last couple of lists were 14 and 28 species, but this one is a much larger 160. Turns out South America is filled with a wide variety of little monkeys!
New World monkeys are small to mid-sized primates, ranging from the pygmy marmoset (the world's smallest monkey), at 14 to 16 cm (5.5 to 6.5 in) and a weight of 120 to 190 g (4.2 to 6.7 oz), to the southern muriqui, at 55 to 70 cm (22 to 28 in) and a weight of 12 to 15 kg (26 to 33 lb).
Brown spider monkey (Ateles hybridus) Platyrrhini is a parvorder of primates. Members of this parvorder are called platyrrhines, or New World monkeys, and include marmosets, tamarins, and capuchin, squirrel, night, titi, saki, howler, spider, and woolly monkeys. Platyrrhini is one of three clades that form the suborder Haplorrhini, itself one of two suborders in the order Primates. They are ...
In nearly all species of platyrrhines (New World monkeys) males and homozygous females are dichromats, while heterozygous females are trichromats, a condition known as allelic or polymorphic trichromacy. Among platyrrhines, the exceptions are Alouatta (routine trichromats) and Aotus (routine monochromats). [4] [5]
Howler monkeys (genus Alouatta, monotypic in subfamily Alouattinae) are the most widespread primate genus in the Neotropics and are among the largest of the platyrrhines along with the muriquis (Brachyteles), the spider monkeys (Ateles) and woolly monkeys (Lagotrix). The monkeys are native to South and Central American forests.
Together, the video clips in the study had more than 12 billion views, Asia for Animals’ Social Media Animal Cruelty Coalition (SMACC) says. ... Fake rescue videos often show monkeys in ...
At least six public and private Facebook groups, the largest having 1,300 members, feature “extreme and graphic videos” videos, with members openly promoting them and commenting.
This taxon was traditionally thought to be a primitive lineage, from which all the larger-bodied platyrrhines evolved. [4] However, some works argue that callitrichids are actually a dwarfed lineage. [5] [6] Ancestral stem-callitrichids likely were "normal-sized" ceboids that were dwarfed through evolutionary time.
