Fewer than 400 of these small golden-and-black primates are thought to exist, almost all of them within the 34,000 hectares of mangrove, beach, and dense Atlantic Forest that make up Superagüi National Park. That a primate could hide from science this long, on an island accessible by a six-times-weekly ferry from Paranaguá, says less about the animal's cunning than about the sheer wildness of this coast.

Dusk brings a mirror performance as the birds retur...
