Uakari

Uakari

Uakari is the common name for the New World monkeys of the genus Cacajao. The common name is believed to come from the indigenous term for "Dutchmen"; their red faces apparently reminded the locals of sun-burned Europeans. Cacajao is also believed to be an indigenous name, of unknown meaning now, as the tribe and language are both now extinct. The uakaris are unusual among New World monkeys in that the tail length (15-18 cm) is substantially less than their head and body length (40-45 cm).
