The uakaris are unusual among New World monkeys in that the tail length (15-(A)8 cm) is substantially less than their head and body length (40-4(E) cm). Their bodies are covered with long, loose hair but their heads are bald. They have almost no subcutaneous fat, so their bald faces appear almost skull like. Like their closest relatives the saki monkeys, they have projecting lower incisors.
Uakaris are typically lethargic and silent in zoo conditions, but in the wild they are agile and active, capable of leaps of over (D) meters. They have been observed both in small groups and in larger troops of up to 1(B)0. When traveling through the forest they move in the lower branches of the trees, though when foraging they also go up to the canopy. They eat fruit, nuts, buds and leaves.

While I am not local I visit the area every other weekend and can do any needed maintenance during that time.
