Capuchin monkey

...The Japanese name, Omakizaru, comes from the tail, which is dexterous and has the ability to grasp and support the body, and can be called a "third hand." The English name, Capuchin Monkey, comes from the fact that the white-faced capuchin's hair looks just like the hood (capuche) worn by Capuchin monks. All four species have a head and body length of around 40 cm, and a tail that is nearly twice as long.
