The Central American white-faced capuchin monkey is highly intelligent and social, often seen traveling in lively troops through the forest canopy. Curious and resourceful, they use tools, groom one another to strengthen social bonds, and communicate with a wide range of vocalizations and facial expressions. I spotted these two in a small group hanging out in a large fruiting tree in Piedras Blancas National Park in Costa Rica. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 5000, f/5.6 at 1/500th of a second.
Monkeys can move so quickly! I have found it difficult to find one stationary long enough in a zoo to capture a single shot. It’s cool that you captured two white-faced capuchin monkeys in the wild, Sean.
