Capuchin monkey

Capuchins are black, brown, buff or whitish, but their exact color and pattern depends on the species involved. Like most New World monkeys, capuchins are diurnal and arboreal. With the exception of a midday nap, they spend their entire day searching for food. At night they sleep in the trees, wedged between branches. For more information, visit the Wikipedia entry.
