¿Quién soy?
I am a neotropical primate. The fur on my body is light brown or gold, while my face is creamy white. I live in large groups of up to 35 capuchin monkeys. Females of my species can have a single infant young every 1 or 2 years with a gestation of approximately 150 days.
¿De qué me alimento?
My diet consists of rodents, small marsupials, birds, and reptiles.
¿Dónde vivo?
You can find me in humid and rainy forests from Costa Rica to Peru and Bolivia.
Para que me conozcas mejor
Wild kitty?
People tend to confuse me with two other species of South American felines of the same genus: margays (Leopardus wiedii) and ocelots (Leopardus pardalis). You will recognize me by my small size, elongated body, and less muscularity compared with my cousins.
