Sakis are small-sized monkeys with long, bushy tails. Their furry, rough skin is black, grey or reddish-brown in color depending upon the species. The faces of some species are naked, but their head is hooded with fur. Their bodies are adapted to life in the trees, with strong hind legs allowing them to make far jumps.
Coastal black-handed titis are relatively small primates with fluffy fur, a long, bushy tail and a small, roundish head. Like atlantic titis, they can reach a head trunk length of over 40 centimetres and a weight of up to 1.6 kilograms. Their dense fur is predominantly grey or grey-brown in colour, the head and paws are black.
Colombian black-handed titis are relatively small primates with a fluffy coat and a long, bushy tail. This is longer than the body and cannot be used as a prehensile tail. The fur is predominantly black, and in contrast to closely related species, so are the hands.
They are predominantly herbivorous, eating mostly fruit and seeds, although some species will also eat a small number of insects. Sakis and uakaris have a diastema between the canine and premolar teeth, but the titis, which have unusually small canines for New World monkeys, do not.

Depending on species, titis have a head and body length of 23–46 centimetres (9.1–18.1 in), and a tail, which is longer than the head and body, of 26–56 centimetres (10–22 in). [4] The different titi species vary substantially in coloring, but resemble each other in most other physical ways.
This monkey can grow up to be 30 to 50 centimetres (12 to 20 in) long and weigh about 1 to 2 kilograms (2 lb 3 oz to 4 lb 7 oz), approximately the same as a large rabbit. The thick, bushy tail can be up to 25 to 55 centimetres (10 to 22 in) long. It has coarse fur, which is long and shaggy around the face and neck. [5]
A plan to build a massive monkey-breeding facility that could eventually house 30,000 long-tailed macaques in a small Georgia city has sparked a multipronged legal battle pitting residents against ...
