White faced Capuchin Monkey

Cebus capucinus

Description:

small monkey with white face, throat and chest - the "organ grinder's monkey" and the villain's accomplice in Indiana Jones

Habitat:

River's edge

Notes:

I have never really enjoyed monkeys in the zoos. In the wild, however, they completely enchant me. These in particular played an exciting game of hide and seek with us

Thank you. They kept moving closer and closer until it seemed they might try to jump in with us.
