About Capuchin Monkeys

Capuchin Monkeys are considered New World monkeys and are found in Central and South America. Capuchin monkeys were discovered by Spanish explorers in the15th century and, because of their hood-appearing face, reminded them of the hooded Capuchin Friars, an offshoot of Franciscian monks. New World monkeys like the capuchin have noses that are flatter than the narrow noses of the Old World monkeys, and have side-facing nostrils. They also have a prehensile tail.
