Endangered
Coimbra Filho's titi
Callicebus coimbrai
Coimbra Filho's titi monkey or just Coimbra's titi is a titi, a type of New World monkey, endemic to forests in the Brazilian states of Bahia and Sergipe.
Appearance
The most distinct of Coimbra Filho's titi's features, from other members of the personatus group, include its black forehead, crown, and ear area, as well as a zebra-like pattern on the anterior of its back.
Range and habitat
The preferred habitat for Coimbra Filho's titi consists of densely wooded areas, preferring the dense understory and lower canopy. Even so, it is able to survive in damaged or fragmented forests, that currently comprise a large portion of its range. This is due to a tolerance to highly disturbed areas, as well as the ability to subsist in areas composed primarily of young or second growth forests.

Diet and breeding
Coimbra Filho's titi, like most titis, is a folivore-frugivore, with a diet consisting mostly of leaves, but also among them various fruits. Such a group generally contains a breeding pair and its direct offspring that have yet to reach sexual maturity.
Even so, upon reaching sexual maturity, individuals leave their natal groups, and often immigrate to new areas.
In crisis
It is considered one of the most endangered of all Neotropical primates. Coimbra Filho's titi is currently considered endangered on the IUCN Redlist due to a variety of threats, both natural and anthropogenic, among them habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, limited reproductive options, and increased predation. The primary biological threat to Coimbra Filho's titi comes from its mating behavior.
While juvenile members of the species remain in their natal groups, upon sexual maturity they leave and set off upon their own. Coupled with the habitat fragmentation faced by the species, this behavior limits the number of sexually mature individuals in each fragment of the population, limiting reproductive options.
CITES lists this taxon on Appendix II. Confirm the current appendix on the CITES checklist.
