Capuchin's are the group of New World monkeys classified as genus Cebus. The range of the capuchin monkeys includes Central America and South America as far south as northern Argentina. The word capuchin derives from a group of friars named the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, an offshoot from the Franciscans, who wore brown robes with large hoods covering their heads.
We found this guy washing his hands while walking the nature trail at Hacienda Baru National WIldlife Refuge. Capuchin's are always fun to see. They are very interactive and typically don't like a bunch of homosapiens staring and taking pictures.
