Amazin' Amazon Mystery Animals
Mystery Animal #10: King of the Canopy

Sharp claws
Pointed teeth
Golden yellow mane
 
Powerful jaws
Fast feet
Dominating my domain
 
Long tail
Bushy tipped
Looking for my prey
 
Hunting trail
Quiet and quick
My dinner cannot get away
 
********
Am I the king of the jungle?
Hardly, for I'm really quite small and humble
My quarry are bugs, fruit and nuts, you see
And my range is restricted to the canopy
I'm neither king nor African
For I'm a new world simian

Can you guess who I am?
