Location: Amazon Basin, Orinoco River, upper reaches of the Amazon, eastern slopes of the Andes.
Habitat: Arboreal. Equatorial forests.
Behavior: This monkey feeds mainly on fruit and leaves. It lives in large groups which split up while feeding. During the day it methodically makes its way from one tree to the next, making frequent use of its prehensile tail, in search of trees with a more plentiful supply of food. When eating it sits, or hangs by its tail to grasp food out of reach of its hands. It rarely descends to the ground, and when it walks it assumes an upright position.
