Here’s an old one that I decided to send again after watching the primates episode of “Life” last night on Discovery Channel. This is a tufted capuchin monkey, also known as a brown capuchin, from Madidi National Park in Bolivia. Capuchins are generally considered to be the most intelligent of the new world monkeys and are especially noted for their use of tools. If you saw the episode, you’d have seen one of these guys cracking open palm nuts by using a rock as a hammer and a larger flat stone as an anvil.
