The Complete Capuchin: The Biology of the Genus Cebus - Paperback

by Dorothy M. Fragaszy (Author), Elisabetta Visalberghi (Author), Linda M. Fedigan (Author)

This book explores our understanding of Capuchin monkeys in relation to their lives in nature--their physical, mental and social characteristics in comparison to other monkeys. As one of the most widely distributed genera of primates in Central and South America, Capuchin monkeys in the genus Cebus have captivated the imaginations of scientists as well as the lay public with their creative and variable behavior, grace, power and highly developed social character.
