Ornate titis (Plecturocebus ornatus) are endemic to eastern Colombia. They live in monogamous family groups. Fathers are responsible for parental care, only passing infants to mothers for feeding. Their habitat is subject to intense human colonization and widespread forest fragmentation. Vulnerable.
