Arguably the most intelligent of the primates of costa rica. I expected to see a lot of them based on the trip reports i had read. They turned out to be pretty hard to get (compared to the omnipresent spiders and howlers). On the first leg of the trip (deep in la selva), i barely had a
glimpse of three passing through the canopy. I was luckier in Corcovado Natl park but never managed to observe them up close until the last day. I was walking back from la sirena station to la leona when i heard their unmistakable chatter
It was mid day and they were a little lethargic, allowing me to get close.
Dont trust that leaning tree trunk. Its on a slope and ready to fall
This was taken on the forest edge overlooking the pacific ocean. Hence the apparent sparseness in the canopy.
