Capuchin Monkeys/Kapuzineraffen sind die dritte der vier in Costa Rica vorkommenden Affenarten, die man in La Selva beobachten kann. Sie ziehen in grossen Gruppen umher. Die Früchte dieser Palmenart scheinen ihn besonders gut zu schmecken, den hier sah ich sie fast jeden Tag.

"White-faced capuchins exhibit rich between-group behavioural variability with regards to their social behaviour, including many bizarre and innovative rituals that spread with cliques of animals. Some of these include

- hand sniffing (in which two monkeys insert their fingers into each other's nostrils for lengthy periods)

- sucking of another monkey's body parts (e.f. tails, fingers, ears)

- inserting a partner's finger into one's own eye socket

- and various games involving turn-taking, [including] the hair-biting game, in which a monkey bites a large clump of hair out of a partner's shoulder or face, and the partner must force the mouth open to retrieve his hair. The hair is passed from mouth to mouth in this manner until it is lost, and then the game begins again"

-- Perry, "Are Nonhuman Primates Likely to Exhibit Cultural Capacities"?
