Endangered
Crested capuchin
Sapajus robustus
Crested capuchin is a primate in the family Cebidae (order Primates) — Sapajus robustus, recorded as Endangered.
Appearance
The rest of the fur may be brownish red or yellowish brown. The forearms, lower legs, and tail of the crested capuchin are all black, although these areas may be a mix of black and light yellow fur in females.
Crested capuchins have a head-body length of 33–57 centimetres (13–22 in) and a tail length of 40–47 centimetres (16–19 in).
Range and habitat
The crested capuchin formerly occurred between the Doce and Jequitinhonha rivers, in Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais and Bahia, on the Atlantic coast of Brazil. Even so, due to loss of habitat, their current range has been restricted in Bahia, eastern Minas Gerais, south of Rio Jequitinhonha and north of Rio Doce. It generally frequents the mid-canopy to understory of tropical lowland and sub-montane forests, but may also live in semi-deciduous dry forests in the western part of their range.
