Red-bellied titi Red-bellied titi The red-bellied titi or dusky titi ("Plecturocebus moloch") is a species of titi, a type of New World monkey, endemic to Brazil. It lives in forests and thickets. It has a rounded head and a thick, soft coat and frequently adopts a characteristic posture with the body hunched, limbs close together, and a tail hanging down. The body is 28–39 cm long, and the tail is 33–49 cm. It can move quite fast if necessary but rarely does so and generally stays within a fairly small area, feeding on fruit, insects, spiders, small birds, and bird's eggs. It
Ornate titi daily activity lasts for around 11.5 hours, with feeding taking up around 2.7 hours. Their day is typically split into two feeding sessions, one in the morning and one in the evening, with a resting session at around midday. The last few hours of the day are generally spent feeding on leaves. The predominant and most important predators of all titis are raptors. Several species of raptor have been observed attacking a titi, including the Guianan crested eagle ("Morphnus guianensis") and the Ornate hawk-eagle ("Spizaetus ornatus"). Tufted capuchins ("Cebus apella") have also been observed killing and consuming an ornate titi.
