A special feature of this monkey is that when they get sick, the red color on the face also becomes pale. According to the researchers, the red color on the face and head of Uakari monkeys is not due to pigment but because this part has many blood vessels concentrated just below the skin, showing their health status. Therefore, when sick, these pigments on the skin also become paler.
