new ape species are characterized by unique red beard is found in the Amazon, the researchers announced this week, but this monkey also are at risk of extinction. Ape species named latin titi Callicebus caquetensis this size of a cat and have grayish brown fur, and has a red beard fall apart around her chin.
Unlike other apes are linked with the type, Callicebus caquetensis has no white lines on his forehead. Info about an unknown primate species live in the area of \u200b\u200bCaquetá, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru near the border, emerged from 30 years ago, but the researchers could never memasuksi region due to violence and rebellion.
Only two years ago professor Thomas Defler, Marta Bueno and their students, Javier García from the State University of Colombia can be at the top of the Caquetá River. They use GPS to find your way around the area, looking for monkeys by walking and listening to their voices.
"This discovery is really exciting because we've heard about this animal, but a long time we could not confirm that he is different from other titi monkey," said Defler.
Unlike other primates, titi monkeys form a lifelong relationship. Researchers gave the info that ape couples often seen sitting in a tree with their tails entwined. They usually give birth to one baby per year.

But the newly discovered species of fauna are struggling to survive due to denudation forest. At least no less than 250 titi monkeys Caquetá existing (normal population there should be thousands).
this small population and habitat of the increasingly narrow place them in a position endangered by the very high risk for a short time in the future.
"This discovery is particularly important because it reminds us that we should celebrate the diversity of the Earth but also must take action now to maintain it," said José Vicente Rodrigue, head of science at Conservation International in Colombia and the President of the Association of Colombian Zoology.
