The White-Faced Capuchin Monkeys live in groups of 5 to 24 animals. These monkeys are extremely curious, agile and aggressive, defending their territory by threatening with their sharp teeth and shaking on trees. They primarily feed on fruit and are considered important in dispersing the seeds of many trees.
