A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
LEONTOPITHECUS CHRYSOMELAS
It is a small primate that inhabits rainforests much closer to the coast and semideciduous forests further inland. It occurs from sea level to 400 m altitude. Due to poaching for sale to unscrupulous marketers and the intense deforestation in their habitat, this little monkey is seriously threatened with extinction.
