The old man has a red face

The red-faced old man is actually a type of monkey but now rarely has the opportunity to see them, because the number of monkeys is getting less and less due to indiscriminate hunting. If this monkey is protected by imprisonment, only a short time they will die. At present, there is no other way but to look at nature to determine this rare monkey's fate.

The red-faced monkey, whose scientific name is Cacajao calvus. They usually live in groups of 15-30, sometimes with up to 10 birds.

In addition, they also have many other "personalities" that are not the same as common monkeys: While other monkeys are always dancing, squealing all day, Cacajao monkeys calvus always show us this is. . old man. They are completely silent, and moving on the tree is very smooth. Red-faced monkeys never make jumps of branches that are as adventurous as other "young" monkeys. Because of no noise, but suffering because of the bright red face, in South America they become monkeys that are much noticed by humans and hunted more than others.

The red-faced monkey lives quite gently. Night sleep, climbing on tree branches to feed. The main food of Cacajao calvus is fruit, leaves, insects and other small creatures. Their whole lives live silently on tall branches, rarely seen down low.

Another awkward point is that the "serene monkey" only likes to live in areas that are often flooded, in dense forests with the upper Amazon rivers (South America).

The breeding season of South American red-faced macaques lasts from May to October. Children can reproduce when they are three years old. Adult males are about 5-6 years old. Every two years, the mother monkey lays a baby monkey.

Cacajao monkey's tail calvus is the shortest of all the American monkeys. The length may average about 0.6m, they weigh an average of about 5kg.
