When
to see them?
Early
morning and mid-afternoon when family troops are on
the move through the canopy feeding. Keep your eyes
on the canopy and look for tree limbs that shake suddenly.
You will probably hear them before you see them.
What to do?
Keep
voices low and walk quietly. Capuchin monkeys used to
curious visitors may be quite bold. Although it’s
tempting, refrain from feeding them since it could cause
the monkeys serious health problems. Howlers are territorial
as are spider monkeys. If they feel you are too close
to their females and young, they will shake the trees
and loudly pronounce their displeasure.
