Black-capped squirrel monkey — size comparison — facts and sources

The black-capped squirrel monkey inhabits riverine forests and their edges. A pale facial mask surrounds its dark muzzle. Crown colour differs between males and females, although similarity elsewhere may make sex identification difficult. The tail aids balance but is not prehensile.

It is active by day and forms large social groups. While feeding, squirrel monkeys actively search vegetation for insects and ripe fruit.
