- The feet and hands are black, and the long tail is orange.
- The head is round and small, there are black transverse stripes at the end, and the ear tufts are black.
Barbara Brown’s Titi Facts
- Barbara Brown’s titi is named in honor of Barbara Elaine Russell Brown, a zoologist.
- Females give birth to a single litter annually during the rainy season after a gestation period of 5 to 6 months.
- Both females and males are monogamous and sometimes stay together for life.
- They are most active at dusk and dawn, foraging for insects, fruit, and leaves, and rest at midday.
- Because they inhabit an area of Brazil, they face widespread habitat fragmentation and deforestation.
