A mating pair will stay together for life.
When resting, they will cling upright to a tree trunk.
Only males have the signature white face.
Females are gray, brown, and red.
Their long, skinny fingers and toes have thick pads on the tips to give them a better grip on branches.
Also known as Guianan Saki or golden-faced saki.
