TITI

also spelled teetee any of three species of arboreal monkeys making up the genus Callicebus (family Cebidae). They are found in South American rainforests, especially along the Amazon and other rivers. Titis have long, soft, glossy fur and rather flat, high faces set in small, round heads. They are about 2560 cm (1024 inches) long, excluding the furry tail that measures 2555 cm. Titis may be dark brown, gray, reddish, or blackish, depending on the species, and have patterned or differently coloured underparts, face, limbs, and tail. They live in small territorial groups and are active during the day. They use their tails for balance while moving about and intertwine their tails while resting together in trees. Titis eat fruit, bird eggs, insects, and small birds. Breeding is not seasonal. The single offspring clings to the male except when being fed.
