WHITE FACED SAKI Pithecia pithecia ©Laura Quick The white-faced saki, called the Guianan saki and the golden-faced saki, is a species of the New World monkey. They can be found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname and Venezuela. They eat a mixed diet of seeds, fruits, leaves, honey, flowers, insects, and small mammals and birds and typically ingest seeds and plants that are high in lipid composition. Although they are arboreal creatures and are specialists of swinging from tree to tree (brachiation), they are also terrestrial when foraging. White-faced sakis typically live around 14 years in their natural habitat and have been recorded to live up to 36 years in captivity. Other New World Monkeys:
