Description
This was a cute and curious black-capped monkey (Saimiri boliviensis peruviensis), as it appeared near a lodge where I was staying along the Rio Napo River, a good half hour's boat ride northwest of the Amazon River. Our group had traveled to Lima, Peru, and then to Iquitos on the Amazon River, by plane. Then we had a boat ride toward the northeast and east up the Amazon, followed by a turn to port up the Rio Napo.
The band of monkeys put on quite a show for their human spectators while running up trees, jumping from one branch and tree to another. Then, much as they appeared out of nowhere,
they moved rapidly as a group deeper within the jungle and disappeared within seconds.
