Thats a good question :) It is a colored marking that males of the species develop once they are adult but nobody really knows what for :)
Whaat! That's random! :D..Maybe they develop it to charm the females?
Yeah thats one of the possible explanations... but on the other hand, the striking coloration of the patch also attracts predators (mostly eagles and jaguars) so it really is a kind of mystery :)
The animal kingdom never cease to amaze! :)
Exactly :)
