The bare-eared squirrel monkey[1] also called the golden-backed squirrel monkey, are a subspecies of the Saimiri sciureus group native to the tropical forests and jungles of South and Central America.
- Bare-eared squirrel monkeys have masks of white fur around their eyes and black or dark brown around their mouths and chins.
- Species in the Saimiri sciureus group have a “gothic” arch. The white fur rises dramatically, and the darker fur on the head forms a deep “V” between the eyes.
- The bare-eared squirrel monkey differs from other species because it does not have ear tufts.
- Also, it is yellowish or orange on its forearms, feet, and hands with a brownish-gray head.
