Capuchins – The Clever Monkeys of the Americas

Capuchins (Cebus spp. and Sapajus spp.) are small, intelligent monkeys native to Central and South America. Recognizable by their expressive faces and curious nature, they are skilled tool users, often seen cracking nuts or using sticks to gather food. Capuchins live in social groups, communicating through calls and gestures. They are omnivores, feeding on fruits, insects, small animals, and eggs.
