Munduruku marmoset

Mammals

The Munduruku marmoset (Mico munduruku) is a species of marmoset, a small New World monkey, that is endemic to Brazil. It is found only in the southern Amazon, in an area of approximately 120,000 square kilometres, from the right bank of the Jamanxim River, below the mouth of the Rio Novo, to the mouth of the Tapajós River, below the mouth of the Cururu River. According to its discoverer, the researcher Rodrigo Araújo, about half of its distribution area lies within the Mundurucu Indigenous Territory in the state of Amazonas. The Portuguese name sagui-dos-Munduruku pays tribute to the Munduruku people, who live in the same location as the species. It was described in 2019 and its infobox records an IUCN status of Vulnerable.
