Capuchins
Capuchins are a species of New World monkeys known for their intelligence, agility, and distinctive appearance—feathered, hood-like hair around their faces that resembles a monk's hood. Typically found in Central and South American forests, they are highly adaptable and social, living in groups and using their dexterous hands to forage for fruits, insects, and small animals. Capuchins are often studied for their problem-solving abilities and complex social behaviors, making them fascinating representatives of primate intelligence and environmental adaptability.
