My web page is on the night monkey, also known
as the owl monkey. It is nocturnal, hence the name night
monkey. It is a very close relative of
the spider monkey
and several other types of monkeys. A little knowns fact is
that they are most active during a full moon. They are arboreal,
which means they live in all layers of the rainforest.
Its gestation period is about 120 days and they give birth to
1 baby. That baby will travel with the rest of its family and
probably live about 20 years, unless something happens to it.
It eats fruit, leaves, flowers, sap, small animals, and insects.
The night monkey has white and black markings on its face, and
is gray and brown with yellow underparts. It has very large eyes
for night vision. It also has a non-prehensile tail. It can grow up
to16 inches, not including the tail of about 12 inches. They weigh
about 2 pounds; most males are slightly larger.
