Río Cesar white-fronted capuchin

Mammals

The Río Cesar white-fronted capuchin (Cebus cesarae) is a gracile capuchin monkey from the Río Cesar Valley in northern Colombia. It had previously been considered a subspecies of the white-fronted capuchin, but genetic analysis by Boubli in 2012 showed it to be more closely related to the Colombian white-faced capuchin than to Cebus albifrons, and some authors regard it as a subspecies of the varied white-fronted capuchin. It lives in dry semi-deciduous forest, gallery forest and mangroves and has light colored fur. Males have a head and body length between 30.8 and 40.7 cm, with a tail between 41.9 and 49.5 cm.
