THEME: THE HUAPO
COLORADO
The red huapo, also known as red uácari, is
characterized aboveall by its reddish face free
of hair. They live in trees, in areas that are
periodically swamped, and feed on fruits,
seeds, insects and small animals. During the
day they roam in small groups in search of
food, but to sleep at night all the members of
the herd gather together, which usually
consists of about 50 individuals.

 FEEDING
They feed on seeds, fruits,
leaves, flowers and some
insects and live in the treetops
of the swampy areas of the
Amazon, in Brazil and Peru. The
red HUAPO normally lives from
fifteen to twenty years, but
these days its future is
threatened and it is in danger
of extinction.
BEHAVIOR AND CUSTOMS:
It is an arboreal species that lives mainly in the
flooded forest of the Amazon Basin. They live in
groups of 5 to 55 members that cover an area of
up to 600 hectares. They mate between October
and May, when the female attracts the male using
olfactory stimuli. Females conceive at intervals of
two years and generally give birth to one calf,
which is weaned between 3 and 5 months ofage.
 CONSERVATION
It is considered a vulnerable species, since a
population decline of at least 30% is calculated in the
last 30 years due to hunting and habitat loss. Between
1980 and 1990, an average of 154 million hectares of
tropical forest per year is estimated in the Amazon. The
timber industry is the activity that contributes the most
to this destruction, which normally implies the loss of
continuity of the tree canopy. This directly affects the
lifestyle of the UACARIS due to their arboreal habits and
their diet based on seeds. Additionally, the populations
of CARCAJAO CALVUS are located mainly in the Amazon
River bed, which increases the risk of being hunted, to
be used as a source of food or as bait.
 LOCATION
It is a highly specialized species found
in a narrow range of geographic
distribution, with the largest known
populations having been identified near
the mouth of the YAVARI MIRIN River, on
the border of Peru and Brazil. Its bright
red face is an indicator of good health,
reflecting a balanced diet of seeds,
fruits, flowers, and insects. They live in
family groups, although the males tend
toleave them to start their own groups.
The UACARI prefers palm treehabitats,
due to the greater availability of food,
as in the case of the AGUAJEbecause
because the HUAPO Colorado is
becoming extinct

The red huapo normally lives from 15 to 20

years, but these days its future is threatened,
and it is in danger of extinction. It is a victim of
poachers, who use it as food or simple bait
and, worse still, of the activities of the logging
industry that is taking away its natural habitat
