cbcnews.com - A new Amazon monkey species has been discovered in Colombia, and researchers said Thursday they believe the small, isolated population is at risk due to the cutting of forests that are its home. A team of researchers from the National University of Colombia observed 13 groups of the new species — dubbed the Caqueta titi monkey because it was found in the southern state of Caqueta, near Peru. The new variety of titi monkey, which has the scientific name Callicebus caquetensis, is the size of a cat and has greyish-brown hair. What sets it apart from other types of titi monkey species is its lack of a white bar on the forehead.
How are people still discovering shit? We've run fiber optics to the far reaches of the world but somehow there are still crazy ass titi monkeys running around that we don't know about. But as long as we found these things, how bout sending one my way? I need an intern to fetch me beers and make frozen pizzas anyway. If he can write I'll even give him his own column.
