Discoveries
  • 1st report of seasonal breeding in owl monkeys
    outside of natural range
  • Breeding pattern similar to that of owl monkeys
    in Peru (with a six month shift due to
    differences between hemispheres). However, the
    pattern was not as pronounced as that of owl
    monkeys in Argentina.
