The capuchin monkey, more scientifically referred to as the Cebus, is an amazing, very interesting animal. They live in Latin America, and Brazil, but can adapt almost anywhere humans inhabit. They eat fruit, insects, small birds, and leaves. They also have a talent for catching frogs, and cracking open nuts. An interesting fact is that they make wonderful pets and lots of people own them around the world. I chose this animal because I love monkeys, and would love to move to a state that allows them. |
