While no corner of earth remains uncharted, there are still millions of species that have yet to be discovered and documented. The quest to complete a comprehensive directory of all life on earth goes on.
It's a good job monkeys don't understand us, else you'd fear for the newly discovered Callicebus aureipalatii.
The creature is one of about 30 varieties of titi monkey which can be found in the dense tropical rainforests of South America. There's Callicebus brunneus (Brown titi), Callicebus personatus (Masked titi), Callicebus moloch (Dusky titi) and then there's the new arrival, Callicebus aureipalatii - Golden Palace titi.
GoldenPalace.com is the name of the online casino that won the naming rights at a charity auction. What's that sound? Linnaeus spinning in his grave.
