Step into the world of our brown capuchins and unlock the wonders of these extraordinary creatures.
Brown capuchins are arboreal animals, moving quadrupedally by leaping and climbing - using their long tails as a "fifth limb". Extremely curious, playing is common among juveniles both in the wild and in captivity.
Brown capuchins are very vocal primates, using loud calls, screeches, hisses, whistles, growls, and rumbles. With sounds all having different meanings, from a food call to danger alerts.
Highly sociable primates, brown capuchins usually live in social groups of 8 - 15 individuals. The dominant male will take on leadership of the group, protecting it from predators as well as defending his groups territory from other groups of monkeys.
