Black squirrel monkey
[2] It largely resembles the female of the far more common Bolivian squirrel monkey, though the latter lacks the black central back.[4] This squirrel monkey has one of the most restricted geographical distributions for a primate, living in várzea forest in the confluence of the Japura and Solimões rivers.[5] It is a social primate that travels with other black squirrel monkeys in large troops within its habitat.[8] On average, black squirrel monkeys live up to 15 years in their natural habitat, the várzea forest.[5] The black squirrel monkey species is declared endangered because of their limited range in the várzea forest.[6] The change in climate due to global warming is also affecting the lives of the black squirrel monkey species.[7] It prefers fruit and insects, but also eats leaves, flowers, seeds, eggs, and small vertebrates.
