The average life expectancy of captive capuchins is 40-45 years, which means they often spend a lot of time in caged isolation if they misbehave in a household environment after they reach sexual maturity.
Associations: Tufted capuchins associate with white-fronted capuchins, white-nosed bearded sakis, buffy sakis, fl-headed uacaris and often travel with common squirrel monkeys.
The latter is advantageous to the capuchins in terms of the multitude of warning signals in squirrel language that capuchins understand, and for the squirrel monkeys it`s helpful that capuchins are so good at finding food sources.
