Species Overview
A small New World monkey (family Aotidae) from the tropical lowland forests of Peru, Colombia, and western Brazil. One of the only truly nocturnal higher primates (monkeys and apes). Adults weigh 0.8โ1.2 kg with large, owl-like eyes surrounded by dark patchesโthe largest eyes relative to skull size among anthropoid primates, adapted for scotopic vision. Fur is dense, soft, and grayish-brown with an orange-tinged chest. They are strictly arboreal and move quadrupedally. Diet consists of fruits, leaves, flowers, nectar, and insects. They form monogamous pair bonds, living in small family groups of 2โ5 individuals. Paternal care is extensive; the father carries the infant most of the time. This species is a critically important model for Plasmodium malaria research, as it is one of few non-human primates susceptible to P. falciparum and P. vivax infection. Gestation is ~133 days with a single offspring. Lifespan can exceed 20 years in captivity. Named after primatologist Nancy Ma.
