sajoas

Updated: May 6, 2025

They are as follow: The Sapajous, whose tails are not only prehensile, but naked underneath, and tubercled near the tips; the Sajoas, who possess the prehensile power, but have hairy tails; and the Sajouins, whose tails are not prehensile. For want of a better, this classification may be adopted. The Sapajous are subdivided into three genera, of which the Howlers form one.
