Capuchin monkeys are tree-dwelling New World monkeys that live in central and southern America. These intelligent and clever monkeys use tools such as stones to crack open nuts, shellfish and crabs. Their abillity to be easily trained gave rise to their exploitation as organ grinder monkeys. They were named by explorers after their resemblance to an order of Catholic friars, the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin.
A family of monkeys was basking in the sun during the afternoon near the outskirts of Palampur (Himachal Pradesh, India).
The Northern Muriqui is a muriqui (woolly spider monkey) species endemic to Brazil. It is found in the Atlantic Forest region of the Brazilian states of Rio de Janeiro, EspÃrito Santo, Minas Gerais and Bahia. Muriquis are the largest species of monkeys in the Americas. The Northern Muriqui is listed as ‘CRITICALLY ENDANGERED’ on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Only about 500 individuals remain in the wild, and one third of those occur in a single forest, the RPPN (Private Reserve of Natural Patrimony) Feliciano Abdala, near Caratinga in the state of Minas Gerais.

Brasil e uma espécie muito carismática, encontra-se na lista dos prirnatas mais ameaçados do planeta. O muriqui-do-norte tornou-se uma espécie-bandeira de grande importância para o Brasil. Somente cerca de 500 indivÃduos sobrevivem na natureza e um terço dessa população existe em um único local: as matas da RPPN Feliciano Abdala, sede da Estação Biológica de Caratinga (EBC), no estado de Minas Gerais.

Taken on Gibraltar. A few minutes after this photo was taken this ape snatched a Japanese tourist's shopping bag. No food... only magazines.
Taken on a visit to London Zoo - these monkeys were so cute but didn't stop still long so getting a good crisp shot was quite a challenge - not as sharp as I would like though.
