- Capuchins are considered the most intelligent New World monkeys, they have even been observed using tools. This species is the most common South American monkey. They live mainly on trees, but often come down to the ground to feed or play.
- They live in groups of 8-14 individuals, the core of which is formed by females, who remain in the parental group for the rest of their lives, as opposed to males.
- It is easily recognisable by the distinctive tuft of fur above its ears. Their characteristic feature is that they will try to crack open any unknown object they can get their hands on to see if there is anything subtle in it.
