Capuchin Monkeys

The capuchin monkey is a very interesting animal. They live in large group of up to 35 members. This would be like everyone in your extended family living up in a tree. They sleep in the tree branches and they spend the whole day gathering food. They eat fruits and and leaves and small animals including crickets and frogs and small birds.

Capuchins weight is only 3-9 pounds. They are most commonly seen with cream or light tan fur. They have short hair. The rest of the coat is dark brown. They have many preditors to be afraid of. Some of the preditors are jaguars, cougars, snakes, crocodiles and the worst of all is the Harpy Eagle. These eagles can be seen carrying several capuchins off to their nests.

Capuchin monkeys are seen in movies like Pirates of the Caribbean and Night at the Museum and more.  Thay can be trained to  help disabled people. There  is an organization called Helping Hands Monkeys.  They can help people turning on or off lights' or opening doors and doing housework.

While holding it you should hold it securely in two cupped hands so it won't jump down and get hurt.


Hamster common  diseases  are minors things that can cause  a lot of damage. Too much vibration in their cage or if they are too warm will make the hamster sick and could die.
