Also, they engage in a practice called as "urine washing," when they urinate on their hands, feet, and as they walk over trees, creating a scented path in their trail.
- Owl monkeys are social creatures that live in small, close-knit groups of two to five people, with one adult of each sex and young of different ages. They state that relationships between spouses with at least one good reproductive result lasted for an average of 9 to 10 years.
- When certain owl monkeys are not social, a unique set of difficulties arise. Owl monkeys may or may not socialize, depending on the situation, for a variety of reasons. Given some factors, such as housing restrictions or population demographics, it can be difficult to participate in typical social interactions.]]> 2022-10-03 05:10:43 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewvargas3/alejb308t92dydt2/wish/2323172107 Locomotion matthewvargas3 https://padlet.com/matthewvargas3/alejb308t92dydt2/wish/2323172578 - They spend the most of the night hunting for food and moving about on their four legs.

Despite not being categorized as endangered or threatened by the US Department of the Interior, owl monkeys are included in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.]]> 2022-10-03 05:12:15 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewvargas3/alejb308t92dydt2/wish/2323173101 Mating/Reproductive Status matthewvargas3 https://padlet.com/matthewvargas3/alejb308t92dydt2/wish/2323173342 - Approximately five to six months pass during labor. Owl monkeys will only produce one young at a time. Rarely do twins really become born. The average time between births is two years. The faces newborn infants are pink at birth but get darker as they get older.
- Mate-guarding may be a reproductive strategy in socially monogamous groups that benefits both males and females, particularly when males help with parental care.]]> 2022-10-03 05:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewvargas3/alejb308t92dydt2/wish/2323173342 Popular Cultural References matthewvargas3 https://padlet.com/matthewvargas3/alejb308t92dydt2/wish/2323173732 - (2019) Spider-man Far From Home (Night Monkey Suit)

illegal trafficking of Aotus (Owl Monkeys) for biomedical research continues 

- Spread Awareness 
- Educate yourself
- Donate to these organizations that do all of these
  • Support the actions of Neotropical Primate Conservation by making a donation. Nearly 100% of the donations assist with field-based projects. US donors can contribute by visiting (https://conservationallies.org/neotropical-primate-conservation/)
  • - Dr. Angela Maldonado and Dr. Christy Wolovich are currently collaborating to create an educational book about the biology and ecology of Aotus to be distributed to children in the Colombian-Peruvian Amazonian border. This region is the heart of illegal Aotus trafficking. Funds are needed to help cover the costs of printing and shipping. Please donate to the GoFundMe site https://www.gofundme.com/f/conservation-books-for-amazonian- children?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1
  • Support environmental education activities currently being developed by Fundación Eco (Argentina) (https://owlmonkeyproject.wordpress.com/fundacion-eco/) in collaboration with the Programa Biodiversidad, Áreas Protegidas y Cambio Climático (BIOARCA), as well as with the local NGO and cultural center “La Mandinga”.
