DOUROUCOULI

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 450 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DOUROUCOULI , apparently the native name (perhaps derived from their cries) of a small
group
  of American monkeys ranging from
Nicaragua
  to Amazonia and eastern Peru, and forming the genus Nyctipithecus. In addition to the
absence
  of prehensile
power
  in their tails, douroucoulis, also known as night-apes, are distinguished by their large eyes, the sockets of which occupy nearly the whole front of the upper
part
  of the skull, the
partition
  between the nostrils being in consequence narrower than usual. The ears are short, and the
hair
  round the eyes forms a disk. Douroucoulis live in parties, and are purely nocturnal, sleeping during the day in hollow trees, and coming out at night to feed on
insects
  and fruits, when they utter piercing cat-like screams.
