A pair of White-eared Titis entwining tails.

The different titi species vary substantially in size and coloring, but resemble each other in most other physical ways. The fur is long and soft, and it is usually reddish, brownish or black and with a lighter underside. Some species have a bright collar or black stripes at the head. The tail is always furry and is not prehensile. Image File history File links Metadata Size of this preview: 400 × 600 pixelsFull resolution (2048 × 3072 pixel, file size: 2. ...

Diurnal and arboreal, titis predominantly prefer dense forests near water. They easily jump from branch to branch, earning them their German name, "jumping monkey". They sleep at night, but also take a midday nap. A diurnal animal (dī-ŭrnəl) is an animal that is active during the daytime and sleeps during the night. ... This article is about the biological organisms known as trees. ...

Titis are territorial. They live in family groups that consist of parents and their offspring, about three to seven animals. They defend their territory by shouting and chasing off intruders. Their grooming and communication is important for the co-operation of the group. They can typically be seen in pairs sitting or sleeping with tails entwined.

The diet of the titis consists mainly of fruits, although they also eat leaves, flowers, insects, bird eggs and small vertebrates.

Titis are monogamous, mating for life. The female bears a single young animal after about a five-month gestation. Twins occur rarely.^{[citation needed]} The more "laid-back" adult cares for the young.^{[citation needed]} Often it is the father who cares for the young, carrying it and bringing it to the mother only for nursing. The young are weaned after 5 months and are fully grown after two years. After three or more years, they leave their family group in order to find a mate. Their life expectancy is up to 12 years in the wild. In monogamy (Greek: monos = single/only and gamos = marriage) a person has only one spouse at a time (as opposed to polygamy). ...

Classification

The number of species of titis has doubled in recent years, with many being discovered in the Amazon basin. The classification presented here is therefore very different from the classifications used twenty years ago. The naming rights to a recently discovered species were auctioned off, an unusual event in scientific classification, and the winner was the online casino GoldenPalace.com. The GoldenPalace.com Monkey (Callicebus aureipalatii) is not listed here because its location in the listing has yet to be determined. Scientific classification or biological classification is a method by which biologists group and categorize species of organisms. ... goldenpalace. ...
