Above is a drawing of a new species of Monkey that has recently been discovered in Brazil! It was originally spotted in 2007 in the Brazilian state of Amazonas and is related to the saddleback tamarin monkeys, known for their distinctively marked backs."The small monkey, which is mostly gray and brown and weighs 213 grams (0.47 pound), has been named the Mura's saddleback tamarin after the Mura Indian tribe of the Purus and Madeira river basins where the new sub-species was found. It is 240 millimeters (9.4 inches) tall with a 320 millimeter (12.6 inch) tail."
Well welcome Mura's Saddleback Tamarin (I think I'll just call you MST for short) to the monkey family!

the patch of hair across the back looks kind of leopard-like.
It does! It almost looks like his coloring has a bunch of different animals. Maybe it helps him blend in with different surroundings???
Hmmmmm
