White-fronted capuchin

Native to South America, the white-fronted capuchin is a species of capuchin monkey known for its white underside and light brown back. They primarily feed on fruits and invertebrates, using their tails to hang and swing through trees in the search of food. They are threatened by illegal poaching for meat, the expansion of agriculture and traded internationally as pets.
