Black-mantled tamarin

Mammals

The black-mantled tamarin (Leontocebus nigricollis) is a species of saddle-back tamarin, a small New World monkey of the northwestern Amazon. It ranges across far western Brazil, southeastern Colombia, north-eastern Peru and eastern Ecuador. Three subspecies are recognized: Spix's black mantle tamarin (Leontocebus nigricollis nigricollis), Graells's tamarin or Graells' black-mantle tamarin (Leontocebus nigricollis graellsi) and Hernandez-Camacho's black-mantle tamarin (Leontocebus nigricollis hernandezi). Graells's tamarin was previously considered a separate species. Among its recorded predators are barred forest falcons, which makes this small, arboreal monkey prey for birds of the Amazonian canopy.
