II. Morphological characteristics

The white-faced capuchin monkey has a relatively robust physique, relatively stubby limbs, a round head, a flat nose, and a wide distance between the two nostrils. The face is always a sad expression. It has two tufts of brown hair on its head, most notably a black tuft on its head.

III. Living habits

White-faced capuchin monkeys live in groups of 8 to 20, and male and female monkeys have different class systems. The male chief cannot control the entire colony, but is responsible for defending against foreign aggression. When a bird of prey is coming, the male chief will warn his companions with a loud cry, and keep himself in a conspicuous place to lure the bird of prey so that his companions can escape.

Almost all of the white-faced capuchins live in trees and only descend when they drink water. Generally they feed on fruits and small animals.

Now with the development of the Internet, more and more people have seen the cuteness of the white-faced capuchin monkeys, and they are wondering if they can keep them all the time? Stop this thought quickly. White-faced capuchin monkeys are animals that live in groups. They have their own emotions. If they are raised one by one, they will be depressed, and their IQs are very high, so they are not the ones who are willing to be locked up~
