White-headed Capuchins
“The White-headed Capuchin (Cebus capucinus), also known as the White-faced Capuchin or White-throated Capuchin, is a small New World monkey of the family Cebidae, subfamily Cebinae. Native to the forests of South and Central America, White-throated Capuchins are important to rainforest ecology by their role in dispersing seeds and pollen.
Among the best known monkeys, White-headed Capuchins are recognized as the typical companion to the organ grinder and for the role of “Marcel” in the popular television series Friends. They are highly intelligent monkeys and have been trained as assistants for paraplegic persons.”
