		The Uakari’s, although they occupy larger ranges, are also quite restricted in their preference for flooded forest habitats and are naturally quite low in number.
		The Uakari has a fixed sorrowful facial expression, its body is covered with sparse long unkept hair and they betray their emotions by the colour of the bare skin on their heads and faces.
		Bald Uakaris formerly ranged in the Brazilian forests from north of the Rio Solimoes river (from near the Tefe) almost as far west as the mouth of the Rio Ica river, northeast to Rio Japura river, and to the Rio Toapana river.

	Lago Preto Uakaris
		The Red Uakari (Cacajao calvus ucayalii) is an a rare and relatively unknown Neotropical primate.
		Red uakaris have been exterminated from much of their range, and are threatened by hunting, logging, habitat disturbance and the removal of important food resources.
		The striking appearance and rareness of the uakari, combined with its persistent presence in the area, present the possibility for using it as a 'flagship species' for wildlife conservation.

		The red uakari (Cacajao calvus ucayalii), an endangered amazonian monkey, is threatened by hunting, logging and habitat disturbance.
		Clare, who is in charge of the projects activities in the UK while I am in the field, was unlucky enough to experience the worst of all this, but her help in the field was invaluable.
		Uakari are known to occur beyond Angamous, but no populations had been recorded downriver from the town, where hunting does occur.

		The uakari is a fruit-eating primate from the Amazonian rainforests of South America.
		Both red and white uakaris have distinctive bright red hairless faces, and are often referred to as bald uakaris.
		Uakaris are mainly arboreal, which means they spend most of their time in the trees.

	Black-headed Uakari (Cacajao melanocephalus)
		The fl-headed uakari is primarily a frugivorous species, but will also eat seeds, leaves, and insects; due to that seeds play an important part of this species diet it might be better to classify this species as a sclerocarpic frugivore.
		The fl-headed uakari moves through the forest in a variety of fashions including: quadrupedally, leaping, pronograde clambering, and dropping from a higher support to a lower one (Walker, 1993; cited in Kinzey, 1997).
		Black-headed uakaris use leaps to cross gaps between trees in the canopy of the forest (Fontaine, 1981).

	Bald-headed uakari - Cacajao calvus: More Information - ARKive
		Bald-headed uakaris are found in areas of tropical rainforest that undergo flooding (5).
		Bald-headed uakaris are found in large multimale-multifemale groups, which may number up to 100 individuals although these larger troops are themselves composed of smaller, mixed groups (5).
		These monkeys are active during the day and spend most of their time in the trees, only alighting on the ground to search for food in the leaner times of the dry season (5).

	Genus Cacajao or uakaris
		The uakaris are unusual among New World monkeys in that their tail length (15-18 cm) is substantially less than their head and body length (40-45 cm).
		Uakaris are about 35–50 cm (14–20 inches) long, excluding their strangely short, 15–20-cm (6–8-inch) nonprehensile, or nongrasping, tails.
		Although they have red fur, similar to red howler monkeys, uakaris are very different in many ways, including their bare red face and a very short tail.

	Lago Preto - Uakari
		Uakari monkeys are a highly specialised species of Neotropical primate.
		A 2-week study of the ecology of the Red Uakari was carried out within an area comprising of three distinct habitats located at Lago Preto on the Peruvian bank of the Rio Yavari.
		Analysis of the present distribution and ecological preferences of White Uakari indicate that distinct adaptive differences between Red Uakari could denote that reproductive isolation may have occurred and that current classification as subspecies may be unsuitable.

		The majority of bald uakaris' diet is made up of seeds, but they also feed on flowers, small animals and buds.
		Uakaris often spend time on the ground when searching for seeds and shoots to feed on.
		Bald uakaris are considered to be Vulnerable by the 2002 IUCN Red List, due to the destruction of their habitat.

	Digimorph - Cacajao calvus (bald uakari)
		The research for which these CT data were collected indicates that this primitive anthropoid cranial morphology included considerable cranial pneumatization via the paranasal sinuses.
		Uakaris live in flooded forests where they subsist on a diet that includes fruits with hard outer coverings, which they open with their distinctive tusk-like canines.
		This male specimen, the skull of an adult (all dentition in place), was obtained from the National Zoological Park on 8 June 1955.

		Uakaris are small South American primates with striking bald heads and bright red faces.
		Unlike most monkeys, uakaris have very short tails, but move nimbly in the trees without them by using their arms and legs.
		Most food is gathered in the trees, though during dry periods when food is scarce, uakaris will go to the ground in search of fallen seeds or roots.

	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).
		In particular, the white uakari is limited to a small area of varzea forest in the upper Amazon south of Iquitos, and the yellow-tailed woolly monkey (Lagothrix flavicauda)is found only in montane cloud forests of the Peruvian Andes at elevations of 1700 to 2500 meters.
		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.

		The fl uakari seems to prefer habitat along small to medium-sized fl water streams and lakes, including fl water seasonally flooded forests (igapo) and the inland unflooded ("terra firme") forests adjoining such igapo.
		The fl uakari often licks rain-soaked leaves and descends trunks and branches over flooded forest to drink water directly from the water’s surface.
		In one study in Brazil, it was estimated that the daily activity pattern of the fl uakari included 22 % rest, 27 % travel, 20 % feeding and 31 % foraging.

	Uakari Floating Lodge
		The 10 bedroom Uakari Floating Lodge is located in the Mamiraua Sustainable Development Reserve –the largest protected area of flooded forest in the Amazon.
