San Martin Titi Monkey

Plecturocebus oenanthe

Classification

The Rio Mayo titi monkey (Plecturocebus oenanthe) is a species of titi monkey, a type of New World monkey, endemic to Peru. The Rio Mayo titi, was thought previously to have a small range of origin in the Alto Mayo valley, but research has proven that the range extends southward and reaches the Bajo Mayo and Huallaga Central. It had been classified as vulnerable but due to major habitat loss and restricted living space, it is now classified as Critically Endangered.
