(UC DAVIS, Calif.) – The California National Primate Research Center (CNPRC) is home to the nation's only active breeding colony of South American titi monkeys (Callicebus cupreus). These monkeys are small, tree-dwelling primates from South America, and live in monogamous family groups that consist of the parents and their offspring. 

There are many advantages to working with these type of monkeys explains Dr. Sara Freeman, a postdoctoral researcher at CNPRC who works closely with the titi monkeys.
