The Saki monkey was first discovered around the 1930s, more than 80 years ago. Naturalists from Ecuador discovered this new species near the Eru River and called it the Saki monkey. Since then, it has disappeared for various reasons and is no longer seen by people, so scientists have confirmed that the Saki monkey has become extinct. Some unwilling Saki monkey research experts, after continuous exploration and search, finally found Saki monkeys again in the western Amazon region.

Black-bearded Saki monkeys walk or forage with a quadrupedal gait and rarely jump. The breeding season is concentrated in the rainy season, the gestation period is 5 months, and one baby is born each time.
