Endangered Monkey



Olalla Brothers' titi



Olalla Brothers’ titi 



One of the rarest titi monkeys, the Olalla Brothers’ titi is restricted to a tiny tract of lowland Bolivian gallery forest (1). An attractive, small-bodied primate, the Olalla Brothers’ titi has an elongated tail, a dense pelage of long, soft hairs, and a small, rounded head with a flattened face (3). A blackish facial fringe, an orange coloured back and limbs, and small, inconspicuous white ear tufts distinguish the Olalla Brothers’ titi from closely-related species (4) (5). The tail is a contrasting black with alternating bands of reddish-brown.
