Ces primates originaires des forêts d’Amérique du Sud sont connus pour leur capacité à utiliser des outils, par exemple des pierres pour casser des noix. Ils font aussi preuve d’intelligence et de curiosité.
In La Barben, you will see a whole group of capuchins evolve: organized around the dominant male, it is also composed of females and young born in the parks in previous years.
You’ll be amazed by their activity and agility, jumping from branch to branch without difficulty!
