Tufted capuchin (Sapajus apella)

This robust capuchin is found in a large area of the Amazon basin, as well as a few islands in the Caribbean. It eats fruits, seeds, nuts, leaves, and small animals. Like other capuchins, it is highly intelligent, with a tool-making capacity only rivalled by chimpanzees and humans. They have invented the idea of digging for food with sticks, using stones to crack open nuts, and even creating very simple stone tools similar to the earliest tool-making hominins. In captivity they also learn to use human objects, like using paper towels to sponge up juice from the floor and then suck on them to drink the juice.
