    What a lovely photo. I love the way it appears the larger one is holding the younger ones hand. Experience though tells me that he is actually trying to stop the little one from stealing its food!! Posted 12 years ago

The Wedge-capped capuchin

The wedge-capped capuchin or weeper capuchin is a capuchin monkey from South America. It is found in northern Brazil, Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname, Venezuela and possibly northern Colombia. The genus ''Cebus'' is divided into several different species. However, taxonomists argue over the specific divisions within the genus, which are uncertain and controversial. ''Cebus olivaceus ''is known to dwell in tall, primary forest and travel over long distances during the day.
