"Midget" is the youngest member of a family (six in all) of douroucoulis at the Bronx Zoo's World of Darkness. The only true nocturnal monkey, this species is also known as "owl monkey" or "night monkey".

The douroucouli ranges from Panama to northern Argentina and Paraguay and is generally found in forest habitats. Douroucouli form pair bonds and live in family groups of the mated pair with their immature offspring.
