Sauim-de-coleira (Saguinus bicolor)
O sauim-de-coleira (Saguinus bicolor} pertence à Família Callitrichidae, que compreende os primatas neotropicais de tamanho pequeno (117 a 336mm), com peso de 125 a 583g, fórmula dentária 2i, 1c, 3pm, 2m, unhas em forma de garra (exceto o polegar), com parição de um a dois filhotes (gêmeos falsos) uma ou duas vezes ao ano.
O sauim-de-coleira é o único calitriquídeo na região de Manaus. Sua distribuição se estende a leste, chegando até a cidade de Itacoatiara, e a cerca de 40km ao norte de Manaus. Devido
a esta distribuição restrita e aos poucos dados disponíveis na literatura sobre sua biologia e ecologia, foi incluido nas listas nacionais e internacionais de espécies ameaçadas de extinção.
As informações disponíveis indicam que o sauim-de-coleira é insetívoro-frugivoro (se alimentando de insetos, frutos, néctar e exsudados de árvores), vive em grupos com cerca de 10 indivíduos em uma área de 12 a 21 ha e pare dois filhotes duas vezes ao ano.
A proteção de áreas verdes na região de Manaus e arredores; campanhas de educação ambiental realizadas junto à população local sobre sua importância como patrimônio da biodiversidade amazônica; melhor planejamento, manutenção e supervisão dos grandes projetos governamentais de desenvolvimento para a região; e mais estudos sobre sua biologia e ecologia são fatores primordiais para a preservação da subespécie.

"Sauim-de-coleira" (Saguinus bicolor)
The "sauim-de- coleira" (Saguinus bicolor) of the family Callitrichidae that includes the neotropical primates of small stature, has 117 to 336mm of height, weighing 125 to 583g dental formula 2i, 1c, 3pm, 2m, claws-like nails (except the thumb), and gives birth to one or two babies (false twins), once or twice a year.
The "sauim-de-coleira" is the only callitrichideous specimen living in Manaus region. Its distribution extends to east up to
Itacoatiara city and 40km to the north of Manaus. Due to the restricted distribution and to the few data available in the literature about its biology and ecology, it has been included in the national and international lists of endangered species.
Available information say that the "sauim-de-coleira" feeds on insects and fruits, nectar and saps, lives in groups of around 10, in an area of 12 to 21 ha, and gives birth to two babies, twice a year.
The protection of green areas around Manaus and peripheral region, and campaigns for environmental education led with the local population stressing its importance for the Amazon biodiversity patrimony, improved planning, maintenance and supervision of the huge governmental projects for the development of the region, and more studies about their biology and ecology are primary concerns for the preservation of the subspecies.
