I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made (Marilyn Monroe :o)!White-faced or golden-faced saki monkeys (Pithecia pithecia) are given that name because the males have a white ring around their faces, although the females do not.

Though little information is known about their population sizes, they are considered a vulnerable species.
