Camp says Saki monkeys are a threatened species and keepers decided to remove a birth-control implant from the baby's mother in August.
Data of this karyotypic analysis suggest that Pithecia is the most primitive among the pithecins, followed by Chiropotes, and Cacajao is the most recent one, with very rearranged karyotype.
MONK SAKI MONKEY Pithecia monachus monachus Pithecia aequitoralis was also found elsewhere in Yasuní National Park on surveys CITES Appendix II, widespread but patchy distribution Saki monkeys are found in primary and disturbed rainforest as well as cloud forest.
