The White-fronted Capuchin (Cebus albifrons) is a New World primate, endemic to six countries in South America: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. Like other capuchin monkeys, it is also an omnivorous animal, feeding primarily on fruits, although it can also eat invertebrates and other plant parts. It is a polygamous animal and lives in fairly large groups (15 to 35 individuals), giving birth to a single young at biennial intervals.Photo credit: Whaldener Endo
