IUCN Status: Least Concern
saimiri boliviensis
Squirrel monkeys live in large, female-dominated groups of up to 500. Their small size and light weight allows them to easily forage in the canopy, exploring even the most slender branches to search for fruit, leaves and insects. In the wild, squirrel monkeys are commonly preyed upon by eagles and snakes.
