It is an omnivorous mammal. Woolly monkeys have coat colour variations including dark brown, red-brown, grey and olive. Their back sides are usually lighter in colour than their under-belly sides. Their tails are long and thick and strong enough to support their full body weight, and act as the fifth limb.
