Squirrel monkey
Squirrel monkeys are New World monkeys of the genus ''Saimiri''. They are the only genus in the subfamily Saimirinae. The name of the genus ''Saimiri'' is of Tupi origin (''sai-mirim'' or ''gai-mbirin'' < ''sai'' 'monkey' and ''mirim'' 'small'),〔Simpson, George Gaylord. 1941. "Vernacular Names of South American Mammals." In ''Journal of Mammalogy'' 22(1): 1-17.〕〔(Squirrel monkeys )〕 and was also used as an English name by early researchers.〔Palmer, T. S. 1897. "Notes on the Nomenclature of Four Genera of Tropical American Mammals." ''Proceeedings of the Biological Society of Washington'' 11: 173–174.〕〔Leclerc, Georges-Louis, Comte de Buffon. "The Saimiri." In: ''Barr's Buffon. Buffon's Natural History',' pp. 251-252. London: J. S. Barr.〕
Squirrel monkeys live in the tropical forests of Central and South America in the canopy layer. Most species have parapatric or allopatric ranges in the Amazon, while ''S. oerstedii'' is found disjunctly in Costa Rica and Panama.
The common squirrel monkey is captured for the pet trade and for medical research〔Rhines, C. (2000). "(Saimiri sciureus )", Animal Diversity Web. Accessed November 26, 2007〕 but it is not threatened. Two squirrel monkey species are threatened: the Central American squirrel monkey and the black squirrel monkey are listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN.
