Costa Rica is a wildlife photographers dream. The biodiversity within that country is mind blowing. Though I have to admit, of all the species, I was most excited to see monkeys. I had never seen them outside of a zoo setting. This is the Capuchin Monkey. They are smart and playful. I spent hours photographing them. Just in case this photo inspires you go see them for yourself, keep in mind they are a vulnerable species - so as cute as they are they are not pets and if you see them in the wild, give them their space.
