The critically-endangered Buffy-headed Capuchin, also called the Golden-bellied and the Yellow-breasted Capuchin, is native to
remaining Atlantic forests of southern Bahia, Brazil.
Capuchin monkeys are named after their apparent resemblance to the Capuchin monks.
Capuchin Monkeys are known for their intelligence, cooperation with each other and other monkeys and use of tools.
With continued fragmentation of Atlantic forests, the Buffy-headed Capuchin is at hight risk of becoming extinct in the wild.
