	Twin Saki Monkeys Born at Como Zoo. - PR Newswire - HighBeam Research
		ST.PAUL/MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Como Zoo proudly announces the birth of Twin Saki Monkeys on October 18, 2005.
		Saki Monkeys very rarely give birth to twins with the last documented occurrence in 1992 at the San Diego Zoo.
		The gender of the Saki Monkeys is unknown at this time.

	RWP Zoo : Saki Monkey
		Sakis are found north of the Amazon and east of Rio's Negro; also in the Orion Basin.
		Sakis are basically tree dwelling, like most capuchin-type monkeys, with a non-prehensile, bushy tail.
		Sakis are not swingers: Monogamous pairing is thought to be usual but, in some situations, several females may only mate with a single dominant male.

	Amazon Animals mammals - large monkey natural history
		Small monkeys are in the Cebidae family (see Small monkeys), whereas larger Amazon monkeys previously assigned to this family are now included in three other families, the Atelidae (spider monkeys, woolly monkeys and howler monkeys), Pitheciidae (titis, saki monkeys and uakaris) and Aotidae (owl or night monkeys).
		The sakis and uakaris have dentition that appears to be specialized to split open unripe fruits whose seeds form the main part of their diet.
		Monkeys are critical contributors to the rainforest ecosystem.

	Comparative Placentation
		The saki is one species of the large infraorder of Platyrrhini that has been divided by various molecular techniques into three genera, the Pitheciidae, Atelidae and Cebidae (Harada et al., 1995; Schneider et al., 2001).
		Rosenberger (1992) suggested that sakis depend primarily on seeds for their protein needs, a fact supported by the experiments and descriptions of Brumloop et al.
		Toxoplasmosis was identified in tamarins and sakis by Dietz et al.

	Genus Pithecia or saki monkeys
		The social organization of saki monkeys is assumed to be monogamous, but since so little research has been completed on this genus, some variation in grouping patterns may exist.
		WHITE-FACED SAKI (Pithecia pithecia pithecia) Saki monkeys are medium-sized South American primates that inhabit the rain forests of the Amazon Basin.
		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.

		The white faced saki monkeys live in small family groups with one male, one female and their offspring.
		At Marwell the sakis are fed a mixture of concentrates and mixed nuts in shells for their breakfast (they can break through walnuts but brazil, almonds and hazelnuts need to be cracked with a hammer first).
		The indoor house is kept at a temperature of 22 degrees and the bark is sprayed with water to increase humidity.

	Primate Research in Yasuni National Park, Ecuador
		Spider monkeys display a rare form of social organization referred to as fission-fusion sociality in which members of a large heterosexual community with a large home range commonly break into smaller parties of variable composition for daily foraging and travel.
		Di Fiore, however, found that woolly monkeys in Yasuní spend a significant part of their time budget foraging for insects, perhaps as a strategy for laying down fat reserves for the dry season when fruit is not as abundant.
		Saki monkeys are found in primary and disturbed rainforest as well as cloud forest.

		However, around the age of three months, the infants' coloration will begin to change and reveal their gender: males are fl with cream facial hair while females have fur that is striped variations of gray, brown and fl.
		In the wild, White-faced Saki Monkeys are subject to pressures due to habitat loss and destruction, capture for use in the pet trade and being hunted for food.
		Como Zoo is one of the most successful zoos in North America in breeding and managing White-faced Saki Monkeys.

		To these inquisitive South American monkeys, we were animals in a zoo, too.

	Investigate Biodiversity - New World Monkeys
		Distinguished from the old world monkeys of Africa and Asia, new world monkeys, also called platyrrhines, have nostrils which are wide, circular and far apart, are small- to medium-sized, have long tails (sometimes prehensile), do not have buttock pads, and do not have cheek pouches.
		Neotropical monkeys are taxonomically diverse and are typically grouped into two categories; the Callitrichidae, which include the marmosets and tamarins, and the cebide monkeys, which include the squirrel, capuchin, owl, titi, saki, uakari, howler, spider, wooly, and wooly spider monkeys.
		Most species are exclusively tree-dwelling, living in tropical and subtropical evergreen forests; These monkeys only occasionally descend to the ground in search of food and to travel between forest patches.

		The golden-backed uacari is one of the Neotropics least known primates.
		Sakis and bearded sakis live in terra firme forest, the never-flooded Amazonian ‘jungle’, making them somewhat easier to study than uacaris.
		If they are common and abundant, they also eat the same soft ones eaten by the area’s capuchins and squirrel monkeys.

		In the house's largest exhibit, the tiny monkeys live in the midst of pale-faced saki monkeys, golden lion tamarins, two-toed sloths, two kinds of armadillo, and an iguana.
		But to satisfy the monkeys' taste for gum—and to display their feeding adaptations to visitors—keepers also push gum arabic into small pre-drilled tree holes.

	CRES Projects: Evolution of Primates
		Utilizing these elements, a phylogenetic tree of New world monkeys was constructed that is in agreement with other molecular and morphological data but has stronger statistical support.
		The resultant cladogram supports a sister relationship between Atelidae (spider, woolly, and howler monkeys) and Cebidae (marmosets, tamarins, and owl monkeys) and then the joining of this two-family clade to Pitheciidae (titi and saki monkeys).
		The availability of SINE-based phylogenetic markers will aid a variety of studies of population and evolutionary genetics and help serve as an inexpensive methodology for documenting species identifications for primate cell lines and DNA derived from primates.

	ANNUAL REPORTS
		At the start of the year the silvery marmosets were still in with the saki monkeys; but the silveries failed to rear two sets of offspring, and the saki infant born in February died at ten days of age.
		The family of Geoffroy's marmosets replaced them, and the pair of Goeldi's monkeys that consistently failed to rear young were put in the other free-range area; three Geoffroy's were born and reared during the year.
		A major improvement in the monkey house was the conversion of the outside cages to high-rise.

		They live in groups ranging in number from small groups (such as with the saki monkeys) to as many as 50 animals.
