  1. I have to admit to whitening the eyes a little even though it is pretty obvious! I just thought it added to the comical expression! Posted 12 years ago
  2. Really nice photo Claire. He really looks like he just has done something naughty and his hiding behind the tree.

    I wouldn't have noticed the whitening without you telling it.

The tufted capuchin is a New World primate from South America. As traditionally defined, it is one of the most widespread primates in the Neotropics, but it has recently been recommended considering the black-striped, black and Golden-bellied Capuchins as separate species in a new genus, thereby effectively limiting the tufted capuchin to the Amazon Basin and nearby regions.
