Watch and Learn Son

Runner-up in Naturetrek's 2019 Photography Competition

A wildlife experience and a half. Watching a troupe of Bearded Capuchin monkeys working in their quarry. Using rocks as hammers and anvils to crack open really hard palm nuts. It was only something the largest and wisest could do, some of the hijink the youngsters got up to was hilarious.

Here’s one of the older males bringing down his rock onto one of the nuts.
