The numerous tourists in Kanching Falls have, not surprisingly, attracted troops of monkeys, each looking for an easy meal.
This is the Black-crowned Central American Squirrel Monkey (Saimiri oerstedii oerstedii). It is restricted to a few lowland forests in southern Costa Rica and Panama and is listed as endangered by the IUCN. It occurs in less than 1500 square miles of forest and loss of its habitat is still occurring. They move around in groups eating leaves, fruit, nectar, insects, even lizards. The body is less than 30cm but the tail is longer, up to 40cm. They weigh well under a kilogram. Most South American monkeys use their prehensile tails to climb with but Squirrel Monkeys only use the tail for balance. I think it has a really cute and endearing face but its resemblance to a skull gives it the name Death's-head Monkey in at least four European languages. I took this photograph from a boat en route to Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica.

From their tree in an "ashram"-area in Rishikesh, he kept his eye on me, a little anxiously, although I was shooting at some distance with a 300 mm.
