Capuchin Monkey
Also a common sight in Manuel Antonio's reserve. In this case we saw a big family moving next to the beach also to find any food leftovers from the tourists. The baby was apparently enjoying the antics of other members of his family and it even looked like he was smiling and laughing at times. April, 2014.
The white-headed capuchin , also known as the white-faced capuchin or white-throated capuchin, is a medium-sized New World monkey of the family Cebidae, subfamily Cebinae. Native to the forests of Central America and the extreme north-western portion of South America, the white-headed capuchin is important to rainforest ecology for its role in dispersing seeds and pollen.
