Mammals don’t usually stay in pairs, but Red Titi Monkeys of South America are exceptions in this case. A team of researchers from the German Primate Center—Leibniz Institute for Primate Research has now studied the relationships of titi monkeys.

Researchers claimed that their study supports the theory that the commitment of males for raising their newborn is an important factor in maintaining pair relationships.
