Río Cesar white-fronted capuchin


The Río Cesar white-fronted capuchin is a species of gracile capuchin monkey from the Río Cesar Valley in northern Colombia. It had previously been considered a subspecies of the white-fronted capuchin. Genetic analysis by Jean Boubli in 2012 revealed that the Río Cesar white-fronted capuchin is actually more closely related to the Colombian white-faced capuchin than it is to C. albifrons. Some authors regard it to be a subspecies of the varied white-fronted capuchin.
The Río Cesar white-fronted capuchin lives in dry semi-deciduous forest, gallery forest and mangroves. Its fur is light colored. Males have a head and body length between with a tail length of between. Females have a head and body length between with a tail length of between.
