MSNBC - Cat-size monkey species discovered
MSNBC reports: "A scientific expedition to the Colombian Amazon has revealed a new species of monkey. The species of titi monkey (Callicebus caquetensis) is a cat-size creature that is critically endangered because of rapid habitat loss and its small population. The discovery was announced Thursday [...] This newly discovered species is struggling to survive [...] the degradation of the forests in the area, which have been felled for agricultural land."
