=== Reproduction === In night monkeys, mating occurs infrequently, however females are fertile year-round, with reproductive cycles range from 13 to 25 days.<ref name="Dixson-1982">{{Cite journal|last=Dixson|first=A. F.|date=January 1982|title=Some observations on the reproductive physiology and behaviour of the Owl monkey in captivity|journal=International Zoo Yearbook|volume=22|issue=1|pages=115β119|doi=10.1111/j.1748-1090.1982.tb02017.x|issn=0074-9664}}</ref> The gestation period for night monkey is approximately 117β 159 days but varies from species to species. Birthing season extends from September to March and is species-dependent, with one offspring being produced per year; however, in studies conducted in captivity, twins were observed.<ref name="Dixson-1982" /> Night monkeys reach puberty at a relatively young age, between 7 and 11 months, and most species attain full sexual maturity by the time they reach 2 years of age. ''A. azare'' represents an exception reaching sexual maturity by the age of 4.<ref name="Dixson-1982" />
