The ornate titi[1] (Plecturocebus ornatus) is a species of titi and the smallest member of the Pitheciidae family, including the uakari and saki monkeys.
- Ornate titis’ fur covers their entire body except for their face, which is covered in tiny, short hairs.
- Gray, brown, black, and white streaks of hair alternate with its luxurious gray coat. Also known as agouti, this color combination continues to the tail.
- Their thick, dense, fluffy fur makes it difficult to see their small faces until they stare at you with bright brown eyes.
- Although their faces may appear stoic and expressionless, they can clarify their intentions through their facial expressions.
- Ornate titis have white tufts on their ears and a band of white fur on their foreheads. A unique feature is the burnt red-orange hair on the neck, which looks like a small beard.
- Their chests, arms, legs, and lower parts are the same burnt orange color.
