- Uh oh.
- [Voiceover] They throwin'?
- Those are monkey bombs right there.
I'm Coyote Peterson.
Right now, I'm on location in Costa Rica.
We're takin' a break from filming large American crocodiles,
and right up in this tree are a whole bunch
of capuchin monkeys.
Definitely don't wanna get pooped on
by these monkeys.
Right now during the middle of the day,
it is about 105 degrees.
We're trying to stay out of the sun and cool off,
and these monkeys are doing exactly the same thing.
Hi, guys.
What's goin' on?
He's positioned himself right over to--
(groaning)
Look at that.
He just tried to poop on me, look!
Look!
He's, he's...
Back up, back up, back up, back up.
(laughing)
He did.
Did you see that?
That monkey literally positioned itself so it could,
it could try to poop on me.
Oh man, these monkeys
are a lot smarter than you would think.
I saw you.
(tropical adventure music)
- Alright, now I can get a little bit closer,
and they're very curious.
But, I also have to be careful that they don't poop on me
because they are pooping non-stop.
Hey, guys, what's goin' on?
Have you seen any crocodiles today?
We're looking for crocodiles, have you seen any?
How 'bout you, little Skipper?
- [Voiceover] Look at this one.
He's curious, right here behind you.
- Where?
Oh, let me try to get a closer shot with this guy.
Excuse me, Phil?
Hey, buddy.
Have you seen any crocodiles?
We're looking for crocodiles.
You're awfully cute, you know that?
Has anybody told you how cute you are?
Don't poop on me.
Kind of in a dangerous spot here,
right underneath the monkeys
because before the cameras were rolling
we did notice that they
like to drop monkey bombs out of the branches.
Well, hello.
Where are all the crocodiles at, Phil?
We've been lookin' all day.
There's no water anywhere.
There's no water, there's no crocodiles.
How are you guys surviving out here?
These monkeys are probably actually getting
a lot of their moisture from the leaves that they're eating.
Also, fruit when they can find it.
They're opportunistic feeders, omnivorous,
eat small lizards and bird eggs if they can find 'em.
Wonder if they like iPhones.
You guys wanna make a call?
I have an international plan.
Anyone?
Phil?
It's an iPhone.
It's the iPhone 6S.
Get great pictures of your family members.
Apparently I don't speak capuchin monkese.
No, they're not feelin' me.
Did try to poop on me, once, twice.
- [Voiceover] There's a lot of monkeys.
How many monkeys are we surrounded by right now?
- [Coyote] Oh, I'd say probably close to 40 monkeys.
It's Monkey Town in here.
Let's go back here a little bit further
and see if we can find some more.
(playful mystery music)
Oh hey, good evening, gentlemen.
- [Voiceover] That guy looks grumpy.
He's like the grumpy old man capuchin.
- [Coyote] Hey, grumblebutt.
- [Voiceover] (laughs) Grumpsky.
- [Coyote] Grumblebutt, what's the big deal?
I know it's hot out.
And they can be aggressive, so we do have to be careful.
There's also a coatimudi right behind us,
playing in this little thing of water.
He's playing in there with a bunch of bees.
Wow, that is coatimundi, he just snuck up on us.
Hey, buddy.
What's goin' on?
Have you seen any crocodiles?
We're lookin' for crocodiles.
You found the water, that's the first step.
Water and bees,
are you gonna go in there with all those bees?
That's monkey pee?
- [Voiceover] Yep, that guy's peein' right there.
- [Coyote] Oh, boy.
Well, the coatimundi is--
- [Voiceover] Oh, I got pee on the camera.
- Oh no.
Really, on the lens?
- [Voiceover] No.
- Just let it keep rollin'.
Let it keep goin'.
Look at this coatimundi.
Look at that.
Look at the claws on that coatimundi.
This is like a mix between a wolverine and a raccoon.
They're related to raccoons,
not related to wolverines at all.
But they do have some pretty gnarly front incisors,
and some awesome claws up front.
Almost looks like badger claws.
- [Voiceover] And this, just so everybody knows at home,
this is not a captive animal whatsoever.
_ [Coyote] This is a wild coatimundi right here.
They're very common here in Costa Rica.
It's almost like the raccoon of the jungles here.
Bernie?
I don't know if his name's really Bernie,
but I'm gonna name him Bernie.
We got Bernie and Phil out here.
Hey, buddy, you gotta...
Crocodiles, you gonna lead us to the crocodiles?
And there he goes.
See you later, Bernie.
Well, this is pretty cool,
hanging out in the shade here in Costa Rica,
waiting for those crocodiles to come out,
and hangin' out with capuchin monkeys
and the coatimundi.
I'm Coyote Peterson.
Be brave, stay wild.
We'll see you on the next location.
(playful mystery music)
- [Voiceover] If you thought this On Location was exciting,
make sure to go back and watch the episode we filmed
at the Palo Verde National Park,
where we caught some incredible American crocodiles.
