Capuchins live in large groups hidden in the trees in thick forests. They only come down to the ground to drink. Each group has its own home range that covers a large area. The members of a group move about in search of the best food and keep in contact with each other by calling. To help their sense of direction and mark their territory, capuchin monkeys soak their feet and hands in urine and then leave a scent on the leaves as they move. They feed on fruit, insects, leaves, and small birds, and possibly on small mammals.

After a gestation period of about six months, the female gives birth to a single offspring, which is weaned after a few months.

The white-throated capuchin's body is slender and its limbs are thin. The head is round with short, dark hair in the back, and the long tail is covered with hair and is partly prehensile. This monkey's thumbs and big toes are opposable to the other fingers and toes.

That monkey has the oddest expression, Claudio. Very interesting shot. I like its climbing posture and its eye contact with you. Well done and TFS. : )

bonito o flagrante que vc capturou.

Great capture of this monkey, Claudio.

Well composed image with great details, color, lighting, BG, pose and POV.

I especially find interesting, the woeful eye contact and coiffure on this fellow.

Thank you for sharing it with us.

I love this shot of the capuchin, it is very well composed and the light reading is excellent. Paul :)

Hola Claudio:

Que mirada mas enternecedora de este "macaco". La foto en sí irradia una infinta ternura, o pena ??? ... Sinceramente es difícil saberlo, uno nunca sabra si los animales del ZOO son completamente felices o no ?... No te parece ?

Muy buena toma, buen DOF, colores sublimes y contrastantes.

Abracos
Alejandro
