Introduction: Capuchins are a New World Monkeys, they are native to Central and South America. Capuchins often times live in large groups between ten and thirty-five. They are normally found in tropical forest high in the trees. Their mode of locomotion is mainly arboreal, but they do spend some time terrestrially. They spend most of their days searching for food, they also like to take a midday nap, and they sleep during the night high up in the trees in nest like beds on branches. Capuchins…

The there tail is most likely covered in volunteer muscle tissue, which allows them to control them to utilize them to their maximum extent. New world monkeys also have more slender noses and their nasal cavities are slanted to a more mid-sagittal section of the face, possibly even lateral to the structure that creates the nose. Most New world monkeys have little to no thumbs. Some, although considered to be stubs don’t need thumbs because the tail is more mobile and are able to grasp with that…

ignis Common Name: Fire Crescent Monkey Geographic Distribution: Crescens ignis are native to regions in the heart of the Amazon’s tropical rainforests. They live in highly arboreal where there are seasonal changes in rainfall and temperatures. According to Fragaszy (1950), with such a highly arboreal area these monkeys are able to “use all levels from the canopy to the understory, going to the ground to drink, forage or travel” (p. 1). These “New World Monkeys” are part of the Creschini…

completely rational, as well as human. A study conducted by Sarah Brosnan and Frans de Waal at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center of Emory University showed that primates exhibit precisely this behavior. The experiment involved two brown capuchin monkeys. I will refer to them as subject and partner. The work each subject must do determines what food they will receive.One subject completes a task for a low value reward(cucumber), and accepts the offer. The subject then observes the…

In northeast Brazil, the capuchins have a food source limited to hard shelled fruits and seeds. As a survival adaptation they learned how to make use of the available sources by the use of stone tools. Interestingly enough, they don’t just use any old rock that they can find. The capuchins make sure that their “hammers” are the perfect size to swing with but are also made out of a hard enough material- such as quartzite. Sandstone is usually used as an anvil. The perfect tools don’t just go to…

In Lord of the Flies, William Golding claims that two impulses exist in all human beings. The desire to live by the rules, and follow their everyday morals and the urge to become savages and hunt to survive. When the children first landed on the island, most of them agreed that order was needed. They all complied at the beginning and established their leader and their rules. Their conch at the island brought order and power to the individual holding it and it became a symbol of authority at the…
