Hair-color and hair-order often give the impression of a Kapuziner-Käppchens to the head.
Spread Kapuziner conquered quite different habitats although they are real tree-animals. they find themself high situated Andenurwäldern as well as in the over 1600 m in the hazy Tieflandurwäldern of the Amazon for itself.
Way of life Kapuzineraffen like to follow the human being at its settlements, from whose jungle-edge they undertake loot-expeditions to the Behausungen. The troops usually keep to a solid march-order on that occasion: First, the adolescents, then the women and men, march and form the end the mothers with the children clipping itself.
The food-precincts are equipped with urine-scent-brands, with what the animals put down the urine only on hand and foot-surfaces, there and so real scent-streets distribute over branches and ground when marching puts.
Reproduction Kapuziner are too stationary charges easily, and they also multiply easily in captivity. The Tragzeit lasts approximately 6 months, and the young lives in the first 5 weeks clipped at the mother.
Behavior In the behavior, Kapuziner often reveal astonishing performances, that are enough (Nüsseknacken with the hammer, shattering of a visitor's glasses with a stone) until the tool-use. Mutual ("social") fur-care and reading of a saline skin-shed ("grooming") are very distinctive and marks of the social position as well as. Pair-formation. Strongly fragrant materials (ethereal oils, perfume, onion-scent) are rubbed off head and necks on that occasion with preference into the own fur.
