White-faced capuchin monkeys, otherwise known as white-throated or white-headed capuchin monkeys, are the most commonly seen of Costa Rica’s four (non-human) primate species. I saw this one down on the Osa Peninsula at Drake Bay. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 260mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/640th of a second.
Whenever I see a picture of these creatures they always seem to have a slightly terrified, or fearful, look on their faces. Maybe they are just hyper vigilant.

Love these little guys!
Call me old-fashioned, but I don’t think monkeys should do white-face acts OR black-face acts. Both are highly problematic.

Nice shot, Sean. It is also a nice capture of the wfcm habitat. If only we could travel by such a highway of limbs!
