Capuchin Monkey

Capuchin Monkey (Cebus)

Capuchins are considered the most intelligent New World monkeys and are often used in laboratories. The Tufted Capuchin is especially noted for its long-term tool usage. These monkeys live together in groups of 10 to 35 members consisting of related females and their offspring, as well as several males. Usually groups are dominated by a single male, who has primary rights to mate with the females of the group. They spend their entire day searching for food. At night they sleep in the trees, wedged between branches. They are undemanding regarding their habitat and can thus be found in many differing areas. Potential predators include jaguars, cougars, jaguarondis, coyotes, tayras, snakes, and crocodiles.
