Endangered Species in the Amazon Rainforest | Causes & Examples
There are millions of species that live in the Amazon Rainforest. Some of these species are endangered, mainly due to habitat loss. The Giant River Otter is ...
Bald Uakari
The Red Uakari ( <anchor>Bald Uakari</anchor>) are found only in the Amazon River Basin and prefer to live near water sources such as rivers and lakes. These primates can be found living in seasonally or permanently flooded parts of the rainforest. The proximity to water increases the chance of human-animal conflicts. The Red Uakari are recognizable by their bald head, red faces, and short tail.

**What is a Bald Uakari?**

Scientifically known as **_Cacajoa calvus_**, the **bald uakari** is a primate native to South America. These monkeys are mammals that are primarily **herbivores** but will occasionally eat insects as well. Their diet mainly consists of seeds and fruit. There are four subspecies of the bald uakari, which are:

1. _Cacajoa calvus calvus_, or the White Bald-Headed Uakari
2. _Cacajoa calvus novaesi_, or the Novaes's Bald Uakari
3. _Cacajoa calvus rubicundus_, or the Red Bald-Headed Uakari
4. _Cacajoa calvus ucayalii_, or the Peruvian Red Uakari

All four of these subspecies are currently listed as vulnerable. There are three colorings among the four species; red, white, and dark brown. There are a variety of colloquial names for this primate, which can make research more challenging. They are referred to as _scarlet fever uakaris_, _red uakaris_, _bald monkeys_, or even the too-broad term _Peruvian monkeys_.

This male white bald-headed uakari is typical of his species, showing his red face and light-colored coat.

**Bald Uakari Characteristics**

While the bald uakari is not a completely hairless monkey, all of this species' members have hairless or nearly hairless heads. Here are some facts and characteristics about the Bald Uakari:

- Bald uakaris can have brown, orangeish, or lightly colored fur, depending upon the subspecies.
- Adults weigh between 4.4 pounds and 6.6 pounds.
- Adults measure between 14 inches and 22.5 inches.
- There is only a slight sexual dimorphism between males and females of the species, with males tending to be slightly larger and heavier.
- Their lifespan ranges between 15 and 20 years.
- Their coats tend to be shaggy and long.

### White vs. Red Uakari

All healthy uakari monkeys have red faces, which is part of the reason that people often refer to them as the _red face monkey_. The deep red color of their faces indicates that the animal is healthy; when this monkey becomes sick, especially with diseases like malaria, its face turns sickly white color. This is a good indicator during mating season as to who is healthy and who is not. Even the white bald-headed uakari has a striking red face.

### Unique Tails

One of the bald uakari's most unique features is its small, stubby tail. While the tails of most monkeys can be used as a form of transport, the tail of this monkey is far too short to swing from trees. Their tails are non-prehensile. Instead, it is used primarily as a communication tool. It can be used to show excitement to other members of the troop and can also be used to communicate danger, such as an incoming predator. The bald uakari also uses its tail to help balance in the trees.

**Bald Uakari Habitat**

This vulnerable species is experiencing diminished habitat, much like most wild animals worldwide. Its primary habitat is in the Amazonian basin, which reaches Peru, Brazil, and Columbia.

The bald uakari monkey ranges primarily in Eastern Peru, Western Brazil, and some of Columbia.

![Map showing South America, with the habitat of the bald uakari highlighted in red.](/cimages/multimages/16/c._calvus_habitat5232428746023956294.png)

Unfortunately, the bald uakari habitat has been so degraded that many scientists believe there is no more wild bald uakari left in Columbia. They live only in rainforests, preferring wet or swampy areas for foraging.

[![](/images/lesson/lesson-unlock-mobile.png)![](/images/lesson/lesson-unlock-desktop.png)](#partialRegFormModal)

**Bald Uakari Diet**

Like most monkeys, the diet of the bald uakari is varied. They are classified as herbivores, specifically frugivores; this means that the majority of their diet consists of fruits and seeds. However, their diet is varied, and they have been observed eating the following:

- Fruit
- Nuts
- Insects
- Nuts
- Roots
- Leaves

[![](/images/lesson/lesson-unlock-mobile.png)![](/images/lesson/lesson-unlock-desktop.png)](#partialRegFormModal)

**Bald Uakari Behavior**

The bald uakari is a remarkably social animal with complicated group dynamics and familial structures. These monkeys are **diurnal**, which means they are most active and awake during the day. Groups of monkeys are called _troops_. Bald uakaris typically congregate in groups as large as 100 at night while they sleep in the trees. As these monkeys are very light, they seek out high and thin branches that can hold their weight but not the weight of common predators. They are most commonly preyed upon by snakes, other larger monkeys, and birds of prey. During the day, groups of between one and ten monkeys will split off to forage for food and explore the forest. Scientists describe these monkeys as relatively quiet and very playful. Young monkeys engage in games with each other and their parents.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the bald uakari is their slow reproduction. They are primarily monogamous, typically mating for life. Males begin to reproduce at six years old, while females typically begin their reproductive cycle at three years old. Females gestate for 182 days, and each female will produce only one infant every two years. Both parents invest heavily in their young. This slow reproductive cycle and high investment in young have resulted in the species struggling to recover from population loss due to habitat damage and other climate change.

**Lesson Summary**

**_Cacajoa calvus_**, or the **bald uakari**, is a monkey native to South America. It ranges only in the Amazonian Basin. Historically, it was endemic to Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. They are found primarily in wet, swampy forests. Unfortunately, due to habitat degradation, scientists believe there are no living bald uakaris left in Columbia. There are four subspecies of bald uakari, which range in color. Some have white or very light fur, some are dark brown, and some are reddish or orange. All members of this species are characterized by their human-like ears and bald, bright red face.

The bright red face that characterizes this species is a sign of good health. When their face turns whiteish, it is a sign of malaria or another ailment. The bald uakaris' short, stubby tails are non-prehensile and used primarily for balance and communication with other troop members. For example, their tails might communicate that they are excited or scared of a predator nearby. They are very social, congregating in groups of as many as 100 individuals. They are **diurnal**, which means that they are most active and awake during the day. Bald uakaris are **herbivores** as their diet is primarily seeds and fruit, but they sometimes consume leaves or insects. Their reproduction rate is relatively low, with each female beginning reproduction at three years old and producing one infant every two years. This makes recovering from their vulnerable status as a species more challenging.

## Additional Info

## Purposeful Coloration

Have you ever seen videos of brightly colored birds trying to attract mates? Peacocks, for example, have extremely colorful tails. Other types of animals use color to attract mates as well, including some species of monkey. Though we don't always know why a specific color is attractive to certain species, in the case of the bald uakari (pronounced wah-kahr-ee) we actually do!

Bald uakari ( _Cacajao calvus_) have hairless heads, which is how they get their name and a hairless face that is red. The brighter red their face is, the more likely they are to be chosen as a mate. This is because bald uakaris live in areas prone to **malaria**, a nasty disease carried by mosquitoes. When these monkeys have malaria, their faces are very pale, sometimes almost white. Having a red face shows potential mates that the monkey is healthy and possibly immune to malaria. This means their babies will be healthier as well. For this species, the attraction to red is very practical!

Healthy bald uakari have red faces

## Habitat

Bald uakari live in a very limited rainforest region of South America. Specifically, they have been found in parts of Peru, Brazil, and Colombia. Their forests are swampy and wet, so they spend most of their time in trees. In fact, their swampy, wet habitat is the reason malaria is such a problem. Malaria is carried by mosquitoes, which thrive in wetter areas.

Bald uakari are found in the Amazon Basin, circled here
![Amazon basin](/cimages/multimages/16/amazon_basin.jpg)

## Diet

Like many species of monkey, bald uakaris are **omnivores**, which means they eat plants and animals. Seeds and fruit make up the vast majority of their diet. However, they will also eat insects, leaves, and flowers. Being an omnivore makes it easier to find food in the wet season and the dry season when there are fewer resources.

## Interesting Facts

This species is classified as vulnerable by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. A **vulnerable** classification means they are likely to become endangered soon if nothing is done about it. Their population decline is mostly due to habitat loss. However, they are also hunted for their meat, and the babies are captured and sold as pets.

### Physical Traits

Bald uakaris are quite small. They are about six or seven pounds, and less than two feet from nose to tail. Other than their bald heads and faces, they are completely covered in shaggy brown or white fur.

Their tails are unique. Most tree-dwelling monkeys have long tails, but bald uakaris have short, fat, round tails. They are in the shape of a large kiwi fruit. Of course, they cannot use them to wrap around tree branches or swing from limbs, but the tails are still useful for helping the monkeys balance in the trees. They can still jump from tree to tree with the help of their powerful legs, so a long tail isn't as necessary.

In addition, bald uakaris actually wag their tails when they are happy or excited, like a dog! They also wag them when they are in danger. They use the wagging tail along with a clicking noise to warn other group members that predators are nearby.

### Family Life

Bald uakaris live in large groups that can have up to 100 members. They do groom each other the way many species do, but grooming is more likely to happen between two females. Males do not usually groom females at all.

Living in a large group helps protect them from predators. They live up in the trees, so birds of prey (such as eagles) are their most significant threat. In addition, they are sometimes threatened by snakes, and even larger species of monkey.

Females have one baby at a time, and the males do not help look after the babies. Usually, females give birth every two years or so. Their low reproductive rate does not help their vulnerable status since they cannot easily recover from the loss of any group members.

## Lesson Summary

Bald uakaris, _Cacajao calvus_, have red faces when they are healthy, but they are pale if they have **malaria**. They live in swampy forests of Peru, Brazil, and Colombia where malaria is common, and they live in trees. They are **omnivores** and eat fruit, seeds, insects, leaves, and flowers.

Bald uakaris are very small and furry other than their heads. They have kiwi-shaped tails used for balance, and they also wag them when they are excited or in danger. Bald uakaris live in large groups, and females have one baby every two years. The species is listed as **vulnerable**.
