Catch Them Twining Their Tails
Whenever two or more members of a titi family group sit next to each other, they typically intertwine their tails together like a braid. This behavior, unique to titis among all monkeys, most likely serves to reinforce the pair bond and other social relationships within a group. They do it both while they are awake and while they sleep.
Hanging in the Tropical Forests
The Bolivian gray titi lives in tropical forests of central Bolivia and Brazil. Both sexes have thick, long fur, making them look "fluffy" and bigger than they actually are. This titi has visible white tufts of fur at the ears, and is sometimes called the "white-eared titi". Though this monkey's head and body measure 11-17 inches, its tail can be even longer - measuring 15-18 inches!
