Uakari is the common name for the New World monkeys of the
genus Cacajao. Both the English and scientific names are believed
to have originated from indigenous languages.
The uakaris are unusual among New World monkeys in that the tail
length (15-18 cm) is substantially less than their head and body
length (40-45 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.
The four species of uakari currently recognized are all found in
the north-western Amazon Basin. The Bald Uakari is found north of
the Amazon River, and south of the Japurá River in the Mamirauá
Sustainable Development Reserve. The Black-headed Uakari is found
north of the Amazon and south of the Rio Negro. The Neblina Uakari
is found north of the Rio Negro, west of the Rio Marauiá and east
of the Casiquiare canal. The Ayres Uakari is currently known only
from the Rio Curuduri basin.
Uakaris are typically lethargic and silent in zoo conditions, but
in the wild they are agile and active, capable of leaps of over 6
meters. They have been observed both in small groups and in larger
troops of up to 100. 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.
