The Colombian black-handed titi^[1] is a species of titi, a New World primate native to Colombia.

• There is no prominent sexual dimorphism between the sexes, except that the male is slightly larger than the female, with a slight variation in color patterns.
• The Colombian black-handed titi fundamentally differs from other monkeys in its family.
• The animal’s body is covered with black, soft, feathered fur and has a small round head.
• The hands are also covered with this black fur, except for the neck and ears, which appear with a white or yellow stripe.

• The Colombian black-handed titi is a diurnal and arboreal monkey that prefers to live in dense forests near water.
• These Columbian monkeys can jump from branch to branch quickly and sleep at night but are also sleepy at midday.
• The species is a monogamous animal, meaning it only has one mate.
• The Colombian black-handed monkey lives in family groups consisting of parent monkeys and their young and 5-7 other monkeys.
• These South American primates are territorial, and they articulate this by making sounds together when monkeys from other groups enter their own territory.
