The Neblina uakari[1] (Cacajao hosomi), black-headed uakari, is a recently described monkey species from the extreme northwest of the Brazilian Amazon and adjacent southern Venezuela.
- With wild black hair sticking out in all directions, it is easy to imagine this monkey having a bad hair day.
- Large brown eyes peek out from an expressive, black-skinned, hairless face. The snout is somewhat flattened, and whiskers emerge from the monkey’s upper lip and chin.
- The head, shoulders, arms, and lower legs are covered with glossy black hair. Chestnut-brown highlights adorn the uakari’s hairy chest.
- A long fur coat that looks like an orange peignoir covers the back and thighs and reaches down to the uakari’s fluffy tail.
- The Neblina uakari’s hands and feet are black and hairless.
