The Unique Bald Uakari, Red Faced Rainforest Resident

The bald wakari monkey is known for its bright red face, a sign of good health. These arboreal primates live in the treetops due to forest flooding and descend to the ground in the dry season to forage for seeds. Native to the western Amazon in Brazil and Peru, they are considered vulnerable due to hunting and habitat destruction. With a slow reproduction rate, their population growth is limited. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these unique primates.
