This is the first time i really appreciate toronto zoo. Me and my friend (camille) went there to capture shots of different animals and plants.. the weather is nice.. not too hot and not too cold to roam around the zoo, and that is another reason why I enjoyed staying at the zoo for a few hours.. But some of the animals are hiding in their houses and some are sleeping and these doesn't hinder us to take different angle of shots of their beauty.. :)

Capuchin monkeysCapuchin 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.

it's been a while since i've seen a monkey over here, and as i'm leaving uruguay today i'm thinking that this may be the first country i've been to on this trip where i won't see any. i saw a family of howler monkeys in esteros del ibera in argentina, and this dude was on the same brazilan island as these three noisy bastards. all uruguay has had to offer so far have been fish and seals. it's a pretty country, but i'm afraid that lack of primates is a red x in uruguay's column.
here's the original
These live in the South American Viva walk-though enclosure which opened this year and is really excellent.
