Buffy-headed/Golden-bellied Capuchin Sapajus (formerly Cebus) xanthosternos

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. (More particularly the White-headed with its black cap, but this individual does a good impression.)

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.
