Country intro
Who could say "no" to that face?
This was one of about 4 monkeys who were semi-wild at the Tariri lodge along the Rio Negro in the Amazon. I say "semi" for while they usually showed up around breakfast and again at varying times during the day to beg for fruit, they weren't really pets per se and lived in the forest. This one, although young, already had its begging face down cold and reminded me of Puss-in-boots from the Shrek movies.
The white-fronted capuchin, "Cebus albifrons", is a species of capuchin monkey, a type of New World primate, found in seven different countries in South America: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago. The species is divided into several different subspecies, though the specific divisions are uncertain and controversial.
