Description
The capuchin monkeys are New World monkeys of the subfamily Cebinae. They are readily identified as the "organ-grinder" monkey, and have been used in several movies and television shows. The range of capuchin monkeys includes Central America and South America as far south as northern Argentina.
The word capuchin derives from a group of friars named the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, an offshoot from the Franciscans, who wear brown robes with large hoods covering their heads. When explorers reached the Americas in the 15th century they found small monkeys who resembled these friars and named them capuchins.
This digitally altered artwork is derived from a photograph taken Oct 1/15 at the Amaru Zoo in Cuenca, Ecuador, South America nestled in the Andes Mountains. This mountaintop zoo is very different in its setting and the animals seem to have a lot of room to roam, especially the monkeys, and are well cared for.
