Panamanian White-faced Capuchins (Cebus imitator)
I could have spent all day watching the antics of these Capuchins.
At the same time, it was a little depressing to understand that while they were protected in a large National Park in Costa Rica, the density of the animal population was above what it would be if they were totally free and that brought them into contact with tourists like me, more than they should have to.
Not everyone is as respectful or responsible as they should be. Witness the slice of pizza in this monkey's hands.
Read about and watch these intelligent monkeys, here:
The Panamanian white-faced capuchin is a medium-sized New World monkey of the family Cebidae, subfamily Cebinae. Native to the forests of Central America, the white-faced capuchin is important to rainforest ecology for its role in dispersing seeds and pollen.
