capuchin monkey
Small New World primate
A capuchin monkey is a small, agile monkey native to Central and South American forests, named for the cap of dark fur on its head resembling a Capuchin friar's hood.
Capuchins are known for their intelligence and dexterity—they use tools, solve problems, and are often trained as service animals or seen in films.
The capuchin monkey cracked nuts with a stone.
