Field Notes
Description:
The brown capuchin has a head-body length of 32 to 57 centimetres (13 to 22 in), a tail length of 38 to 56 centimetres (15 to 22 in), and a weight of 1.9 to 4.8 kilograms (4.2 to 11 lb), with the males generally being larger and heavier than the females.
Habitat:
atlantic coast rainforest
Notes:
I spotted this monkey at Caratinga Biological reserve. It shared the same trees with howler monkeys and muriquis.
The range of the brown capuchin and photos on wikipedia differ greatly from my reference book - Neotropical Rainforest Animals.
The photos in the book and the range fit this monkey more accurately than wikipedia.
