Vertical bipedal locomotion in wild bearded capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus)
Sequential organization and optimization of the nut-cracking behavior of semi-free tufted capuchin monkeys (Sapajus sp.)
Stone Hammers
Stick Tools for Foraging
Wild monkeys flake stone tools
The enhanced tool‐kit of two groups of wild bearded capuchin monkeys in the Caatinga
The use of stones to crack open encapsulated fruit is widespread among wild bearded capuchin monkeys ( Cebus libidinosus ) inhabiting savanna‐like environments. Some populations in Serra da Capivara National Park (Piauí, Brazil), though, exhibit a seemingly broader toolkit, using wooden sticks as probes, and employing stone tools for a variety of purposes. Over the course of 701.5 hr of visual contact of two wild capuchin groups we recorded 677 t…
Fallback foraging as a way of life
The genus Cebus is one of the best extant models for examining the role of fallback foods in primate evolution. Cebus includes the tufted capuchins, which exhibit skeletal features for the exploitation of hard and tough foods. Paradoxically, these seemingly “specialized” taxa belong to the most ubiquitous group of closely related primates in South America, thriving in a range of different habitats. This appears to be a consequence of their abilit…
Capuchin monkey tool use
Nutcracking capuchins are mentioned in reports dating as far back as the sixteenth century,1, 2 as well as in Brazilian folklore.3 However, it was barely a decade ago that primatologists “discovered” the spontaneous use of stones to crack nuts in a semi-free ranging group of tufted capuchin monkeys. Since then, we have found several more capuchin populations in savanna-like environments which employ this form of tool use.5-7 The evidence so far o…
Cross‐genus adoption of a marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus ) by wild capuchin monkeys ( Cebus libidinosus )
We report a case of interspecies adoption of an infant marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus ) by wild capuchin monkeys ( Cebus libidinosus ). The marmoset was an infant when it was first observed in the capuchin group on 3 March 2004. Since it first appeared it has been observed informally and frequently. In January 2005 systematic observations were made of the marmoset and a capuchin of similar age. Throughout its period of adoption the marmoset appear…
