Panamanian White-Faced Capuchin, Corcovado National Park, Costa RicaNot all Panamanian white-faced capuchin monkeys are found in Panama. Like this one that I photographed in Costa Rica. In fact, they can be found in much of Central America and into the northern regions of South America. These monkeys are highly intelligent. They’re also very common. They are the traditional organ grinder monkey, the monkey that is most often seen in movies (like Pirates of the Caribbean) and they’ve even been known to assist paraplegic humans. This particular white-faced capuchin kind of looked like he was brushing his teeth with a palm frond. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 135mm) ISO 500, f/4 at 1/100th of a second.
