Group of measured illustrations of the Tufted Capuchin seen from the front and side

The Tufted Capuchin (Sapajus apella), also called the black-capped capuchin, pin monkey, or brown capuchin, is a species of small primate native to South America. They are most comfortable in trees, while they will walk through the open to gather food, they return to tall trees at night to sleep. It has a distinct tufts of fur on the forehead that give it its name, and is typically tougher than other capuchins. The species is remarkable in that they use tools; the capuchin will dry a hard nut and then use a rock to crack it open.

Tufted Capuchins have a head-body length of 13”-22” (33-56 cm), tail length of 15”-22” (38-56 cm), height on all fours of 10.2”-16.5” (26-42 cm), and body width between 5.5”-9.4” (14-24 cm). The typical weight of the Tufted Capuchin is in the range of 4.4-11 lb (2-5 kg). Tufted Capuchins have lifespans between 15-25 years in the wild and 40-50 years in captivity.
