What is a Monk Saki?

by monksaki

A monk saki is a New-World monkey, pictured below. As you can probably see, its name refers to its ‘haircut’, similar to a monk’s tonsure. I like primates, and New-World monkeys are an interesting branch of that family tree. All New-World monkeys have prehensile tails, different (one could say simpler) vision than Old-World monkeys, and a different dental formula from other primates. Y’know, just some fun facts from your ol’ pal Monk Saki.

P.S. I am not, in fact, a New-World monkey.
