ORIGIN
This is a species that in the past was thought to be extinct and it was
thanks to the studies of people like Mariella Leo and Neotropical Primate
Conservation that it was seen that the species was not in the degree of
vulnerability that was thought, but still has been within the list of the 25
most endangered species in the world.
Now, the role of private and voluntary conservation will be completely
key because initiatives like this will be required to create conservation
corridors between protected areas such as the Cordillera de Colán
National Sanctuary and what is already being done with the Copallín and
Pampa del Burro PCAs.
The yellow-tailed choro monkey is endemic to Peru, Amazonas, San
Martin and part of Loreto. If this species is lost on the planet, it will be
because of the Peruvians. It is a symbol of Peru and it is a responsibility
that depends on us.

In 1812, on the basis of the skin he had seen ten years earlier,
Alexander von Humboldt first described the yellow-tailed parrot as Simia
flavicauda.Humboldt never observed a live animal or kept a specimen.
Isolated reports of professional collectors are rare for more than 110
years.
In 1974, Russel Mittermeier, a famous American primatologist, together
with Hernando de Macedo, who is director of the Department of
Ornithology and Mastozoology of the Natural History Museum of Lima,
and Anthony Luscombe, an expeditionary, began searching for the
yellow-tailed parrot in the vicinity of Chachapoyas, Rodriguez de
Mendoza and Pedro Ruiz Gallo (Amazonas department), northeastern
Peru. During their journey to Chachapoyas, they met a hunter who gave
them skins and skulls of this species and they moved with him to the
dark forests where he had found these animals. In the end, one day
before their return to Lima, they came across a young animal, who was
the pet of a soldier.
A live specimen of Oreonax flavicauda was seen for the first time. De
Macedo cared for this young male animal in the Museum of Natural
History. The rediscovery attracted the attention of the national and

international press, as well as conservation organizations, who sought to
know the current status of this species in the near future. The re-
discoverers knew that the species was threatened by the destruction of
its habitat and, especially at that time, by hunting.
NOURISHMENT
The Yellow-tailed Choro Monkey is mainly vegetarian, feeding on leaves, fruits and
flowers. Sometimes they also eat insects and small animals, such as lizards and
birds. Their diet may vary according to the season and the availability of food in their
habitat.
Likewise, when it feeds, it also disperses seeds so that there are more trees, so that
it can feed again in a certain period of time.
CHARACTERISTICS
It is a diurnal primate that lives in groups of up to 30 individuals formed
by several males and several females. These groups consist of males,
females, adults, young adults and infants. Females give birth every 2-3
years and are responsible for caring for the offspring. At dusk, wherever
they stop, they sleep scattered among the trees. They also have thick or
reddish-brown to dark brown fur. The length of hair on the limbs is 15
mm, the length of hair on the neck is 25 mm and the length of hair on the
back is 30 mm. They have hard skin on the exposed parts called "hairs"
surrounded by yellow hairs and long hairs in the genital area, where
males have rich and dense hairs. In females they are smaller and slightly
separated. They have a colorful pink clitoris of 4 cm.
 In most species they have a head-body length of 400-534 mm.
 Their tail has a tail length of 575-632 mm.
 Weight approx. 8 kg to 12 kg.
 White patches over the eyes as eyebrows.
 The ears are partially hidden with short light hairs.
 Whitish hairs around the mouth.
 The face is pigmented dark gray.
REASON FOR EXTINCTION

A yellow-tailed parrot monkey (Lagothrix flavicauda), classified as
Critically Endangered (CR), was rescued from a cage in the district of
Kinjalca, province of Chachapoya. It was then taken to the State
Forestry and Wildlife Service (SERFOR) of the Ministry of Agricultural
Development and Irrigation (Midagri). This primate is endemic to Peru,
that is, it lives only in the northeastern mountain forests of the provinces
of Amazonas and San Martin, and its distribution is limited to these
areas. It is critically endangered due to habitat loss, deforestation,
mining and its use as a pet, making it increasingly difficult to find in the
wild. To recover it, a joint operation was carried out by agents of the
Environmental Protection Unit of the Peruvian National Police, the
Specialized Environmental Prosecutor's Office and the Amazon
Regional Environmental Agency (ARA), who found it in a residence.
Wooden cage with metal mesh.
SOLUTION TO THE EXTINCTION OF THE ANIMAL

There are several ways in which we can help conserve the Yellow-tailed
Choro Monkey and its natural habitat. Some of them include:
Supporting organizations working to conserve the Yellow-tailed Choro
Monkey and its habitat.
Promote sustainable agricultural and livestock practices that minimize
forest degradation and deforestation.
Avoid the purchase and sale of exotic pets, including Yellow-tailed Choro
Monkeys.
Promote responsible tourism in areas where this species lives, which
can generate income for local communities and promote its
conservation.
