Night monkeys are the only truly nocturnal primates in the Americas. This guy is an Azara’s night monkey and was photographed in the Pampas region of Bolivia. Night monkeys are primarily frugivores. What is a frugivore, you ask? A fruit eater, of course. As you can see, this guy is enjoying a nice mango-looking piece of juicy goodness, and seems to be quite pleased with it. Word has it they also will eat the occasional flower, leaf or insect, but for the most part, it’s all about the fruit. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 200, f/5.6 at 1/60th of a second, two Nikon SB-800 flash units

This guy seems completely transfixed and happily so. Great catch, Sean!
