The cotton top monkeys are small and weigh average about 500g.It is easily recognised by the long white hair growing from the forehead towards the shoulders.
This species is a risk due to the large habitat destruction in Columbia. It is currently classified a critical endangered species and one of the rarest primates in the world with about 6000 individuals left in the world .My breading pair just had a baby so make it 6001.
I dont want to go into all the details about these monkeys and only want to make every one aware of how critical and rare these monkeys are.
I bought a young pair a couple of years ago and they treated with great care.We recently had our first baby and what a live wire he is.Treat them with respect and care and maybe we can get the numbers up.
