These two showed up one morning while we were waiting for the Scarlet Macaws to make an appearance. They arrived after having visited the local flora and then raided the feeders of the bananas which were just placed. Their antics amused all.

Very formidable looking pair! Those teeth and the look on their face are menacing! They can have anything they want! Great detail.

Wow- look at those teeth! Is the top one younger? The bottom one's teeth look and nostril and facial hair look different. Maybe some banana smeared on the face.... anyway, an amazing amusing shot!

Superb, intimate capture of these two! The pollen on their faces shows what they've been up to, and by the look of those teeth and the expression in their eyes, they would soon clear up the bananas on the feeders in between shouting at you all. Wonderful behaviour illustration Chuck!

Hi Cindy,

I'm not sure which one is the eldest, but once they noticed they were being observed the top guy jumped up on his sibling and they both started to bare their teeth. I couldn't tell whether they were threatening us, or laughing at us. I've seen capuchins snarl in a threatening way before, this seemed different-like they were hamming it up for the audience.
