Hoffmann’s titi[1] (Plecturocebus hoffmannsi) is a New World primate native to Brazil.
- It was described as Callicebus hoffmannsi in 1908. These primates have small to medium-sized bodies.
- With a height of 32 to 35 centimeters and a weight of 880 to 1020 grams, Hoffmann’s titi monkey is about the size of a rabbit.
- Their tails are typically longer than the head and body combined.
- Their pelage and body coloration differ only slightly within this particular species but very distinctly from other Titis species, ranging from blackish-brown, blackish, brown, and grayish to various combinations of these colors.
- One thing the Hoffmann’s titi monkey has in common with other titi species is that they all have very thick fur, which some biologists have described as shaggy in appearance.
