Habitat

Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Black-winged Saltator

A large, robust seed-eating bird of humid forest edges and secondary woodland in the Pacific lowlands of Ecuador and Colombia, black-winged saltators have slate-grey body plumage with distinctive black wings contrasting boldly with white wing markings. They inhabit dense undergrowth, forest borders, and secondary growth, foraging on large seeds, fruit, and buds. Like other saltators, they have powerful bills for cracking hard seeds. Listed as Least Concern with stable populations in remaining Pacific coastal forest.

Collared Titi

The Collared Titi, known scientifically as <em>Cheracebus torquatus</em>, is a small New World monkey belonging to the family Pitheciidae. <em>Cheracebus torquatus</em> is characterised by its typically dense, soft fur and a pale or white collar or band around the neck and throat region, which gives the species its common and scientific names. Titi monkeys are generally arboreal and highly social, typically living in small family groups occupying territories in forested habitats. They are known for their distinctive pair-bonding behaviour and loud territorial vocalisations. The species inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Titi is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
