Black-headed night monkey

The black-headed night monkey (Aotus nigriceps) is a night monkey species from South America. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil and Peru. The A. nigriceps in Peru were notably inhabiting areas that were degraded, and often times these areas were disturbed either by human activities or natural occurrences in the ecosystem.

Names

It is called ausisiti in the Kwaza language of Rondônia, Brazil,[3] and nu’nu’ in the Shawi language of Peru.[4] Although considered least concern due to their adaptability to a variety of habitat types and tolerance of human disturbance, their distribution appears restricted by environmental factors and habitat loss due to widespread anthropogenic threats.[5][6]

gollark: Weird.
