These are called monos "titi," and I think somewhere I've read that they're actually called "Geoffrey's monkeys." They're tiny, maybe a pound in weight, maybe 6-8 inches from head to butt, not counting the long tail. They're ugly; their faces look like bats, and they have essentially a white mohawk for a hair style. Notice the second photo, what looks like a black tumorous growth on the back behind the head. If this were a sci-fi movie, this would be the second head emerging from the torso. In fact, it's a baby, and they carry them around while they bounce along the branches and mooch bananas from tourists like us.
