About the white-nosed saki

The white-nosed saki (Chiropotes albinasus) is a species of bearded saki, a type of New World monkey, endemic to the south-central Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Both its scientific and common name were caused by the authors working from dead specimens, where the skin on and around the nose fades to a whitish color. In living individuals, the nose is actually bright pink (though with fine barely visible white hairs). Pelage on the body tends to be black in males and brown to brownish-grey in females. No other species of the genus Chiropotes have a brightly coloured nose.
