Black bearded saki (Chiropotes satanas) is a bearded saki in the genus Chiropotes, family Pitheciidae, the New World monkeys that also include the other titis, the sakis and the uakaris. The Mammal Diversity Database credits the species name to (von Hoffmannsegg, 1807) and lists its country distribution as Brazil. It is native to the Amazon rainforest of north-eastern Brazil and is one of five species of bearded saki. Bearded sakis are medium-sized, about 50 centimetres, mostly frugivorous primates specialised in seed predation. The species habitat has undergone heavy fragmentation, which makes its future conservation status uncertain. The Mammal Diversity Database gives its IUCN Red List status as Endangered.
