The Owl Monkey, also known as the night monkey, is native to Central and South American forests. It is the only nocturnal monkey, adapted with large eyes that enhance its night vision for navigating and foraging in low light. Owl monkeys have a rounded skull with forward-facing eye sockets, which contribute to their excellent depth perception—a crucial adaptation for their nocturnal and arboreal lifestyle. They primarily consume fruits, leaves, and insects, and are known for their strong social bonds and monogamous pairings.
This replica is created using a 3D scan of an authentic Owl Monkey skull specimen, ensuring each detail—from the large eye orbits to the unique dental structure—is precisely captured. Made from durable resin and hand-painted, it offers a lifelike and lasting study piece of the Owl Monkey’s distinctive skull anatomy.
Ideal for educators, primatologists, anthropologists, and collectors, this Owl Monkey skull replica provides a valuable resource for studying primate adaptations to nocturnal life. It is an essential addition to any collection or display focused on primate diversity, behavior, and evolutionary traits.
