White-faced sakis are nicknamed “flying monkeys” because of their impressive leaps between trees. They can leap up to 33 ft in a single bound. Only the males have a white face, the females have a black/gray face.
These monkeys live in the northern part of South America. Their diet consists of fruit, seeds, leaves, and occasionally small mammals. They are vocal animals that communicate through chirps, shaking their body and loud growls.
Current threats include habitat loss and being captured and sold in the illegal pet trade.
