Central American white-faced Capuchin

Cebus imitator

Description:

medium-sized Central American monkey, important to rainforest ecology for its role in dispersing seeds and pollen.

Habitat:

forests of Central America

Notes:

I stayed at a guesthouse beside Cahuita National Park and a lot of animals visited the grounds every day. There were these Capuchins and also howler monkeys, caiman, iguanas and numerous birds. It was great to see so many animals without even leaving my accommodations. You can see a youngster on the mothers back in the third photo.

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
