New species of monkey discovered
Published by Dona Brasil on 2006/5/19
Scientists discovered a new, blond species of Capuchin monkeys. The group Cebus queirozi consists of 18 individuals living in a piece of Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica).
This discovery is very special as it is a relatively large species of mamal living in a densely populated area. The Atlantic forest once covered the wet hills along the Atlantic coast of Brazil but only small pieces remain as the Brazilian coast was the area were the colonisation of Brazil was concentrated. This group of 18 animals has survived by hiding in some small patches of forest surounded by a swamp.
