The black capuchin[1], also called the black-horned capuchin, is a capuchin monkey native to the Atlantic rainforest of southeastern Brazil and extreme northeastern Argentina.
- The black capuchin gets its name from two distinct patches of black fur on its head.
- The fur on its back is black and dark brown, while its belly is lighter.
- On the face, this species has white pelage around the cheeks with black fur on the sides of the face.
- Like all capuchin species, Sapajus nigritus has a prehensile tail for grasping twigs and branches and navigating through the forest.
