Central American Squirrel Monkey (Saimiri oerstedii).
We saw the Capuchins just about every day, but only saw the Squirrel monkeys a couple of times. Thanks to conservation efforts this species, which is only found on the Pacific coast of southern Costa Rica and northern Panama, has been upgraded from "endangered" to "vulnerable".
