How old does a White-nosed saki get? (age expectancy)

What is the maximal age a White-nosed saki reaches?

An adult White-nosed saki (Chiropotes albinasus) usually gets as old as 17 years.

White-nosed sakis are around 157 days in the womb of their mother. When born, they weight 39 grams (0.09 lbs) and measure 7.6 cm (0′ 3″). As a member of the Cebidae family (genus: Chiropotes), their offspring is 1 babies per pregnancy. Fully grown, they reach a bodylength of 44 cm (1′ 6″).

As a reference: Usually, humans get as old as 100 years, with the average being around 75 years. After being carried in the belly of their mother for 280 days (40 weeks), they grow to an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″) and weight in at 62 kg (137 lbs), which is obviously highly individual.

The white-nosed saki (Chiropotes albinasus) is an endangered species of bearded saki, a type of New World monkey, endemic to the south-central Amazon rainforest in Brazil and possibly a small area east of Bolivia. Both its scientific and common name were caused by the authors working from dead specimens, where the skin on and around the nose fades to whitish. In living individuals, it is actually bright pink (though with fine barely visible white hairs), and the pelage is black. No other species of the genus Chiropotes have a brightly colored nose.
