The Margarita Island capuchin (Sapajus apella margaritae), also known as the tufted Margarita Island capuchin or mono de margarita is a subspecies of the tufted capuchin that only resides in the Caribbean Sea on Margarita Island, Venezuela.
The Margarita Island capuchin are medium-sized monkeys with black arms, legs, tail, and head with a brown abdomen and back.[2] They are primates that tend to travel in groups of 2–18 monkeys.[1] Margarita Island capuchins are frugivorous but also enjoy bromeliad leaves, insects, cactus, and small vertebrates.[2] Margarita island capuchins are the main primate on Margarita Island, serving as an important seed distributor.
Margarita Island capuchins are listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as a critically endangered species with a declining population as well as on the Venezuelan red list.[1] The decline is population is due to habitat fragmentation, hunting, and pet trade. Conservation efforts are being made to provide protected areas and educate others on the dwindling population.[2]
