Titi monkeys are the most species-rich group of primates. Titis are found only in South America, predominantly, around the Amazon River basin. Titis engage in a tail entwining behaviour. It has been noticed that when male and female pair sits together their tails wrap around each other. It is thought that the entwining is a way of bonding between the adult monkeys. Funnily, they apparently entwine their tails both when they are awake and when they are asleep- strong bonds 24/7.Image source -- source link
