Capuchin monkeys
Capuchin monkeys are intelligent New World primates native to Central and South America. Recognizable by their distinctive brown and white fur and a fluffy, cap-like hairstyle on their heads, they are highly adaptable and curious. Known for their problem-solving skills and use of tools, they live in social groups and have a varied diet of fruits, insects, and small animals. Capuchins play important roles in their ecosystems, aiding in seed dispersal. Their impressive intelligence and social complexity make them a fascinating subject of study in primatology.
