18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World

This tiny and reclusive squirrel monkey was watching us as we hiked on a rainforest trail in the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica. We heard some rustling of leaves above us and stood still for several minutes, before finally spotting its face, which reminded us of a grumpy old man.
