Field Notes

Description:

This monkey appears in the biggest tree in my backyard this morning. It was calm, even with the dogs making a lot of noise. It seems an old one. After one hour, it jumps to another tree and disappears.

Luciano, me parece que este é uma fêmea jovem. Inclusive, apesar da posição do animal não permitir uma visão clara do corpo, acho que ela está carregando um bebê. As fêmeas têm o osso hióide muito menos desenvolvido que os machos, por isso parecem ter menos barba. Além disso (mas isso é só uma hipótese minha) acho que os bugios do sul têm pelo mais espesso que os do norte, por aqui ser mais frio.
