White-headed Capuchin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The White-headed Capuchin (Cebus capucinus), also known as the White-faced Capuchin or White-throated Capuchin, is a small New World monkey of the family Cebidae, subfamily Cebinae. The action of feeding White-headed Capuchins serves to pollinate some plants, as well as scatter the seeds of fruits. Native to the forests of South and Central America, White-throated Capuchins are important to rainforest ecology by their role in dispersing seeds and pollen. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/White-headed_Capuchin   (791 words)

Untitled Document Capuchins are preyed upon by jaguars and large birds of prey. The cap of the tufted capuchins is made of short, erect black hairs that may form 2 ridges or "tufts" on either side of the crown. After mating, Tufted capuchins display a "reverse mount" in which the female mounts the male, clasping him around the waist with her arms and riding his lower back. www.szgdocent.org /resource/pp/p-tufcap.htm   (1714 words)

Capuchins Tufted capuchins associate with white-nosed bearded sakis (Chiropotes albinasus), occassionally with buffy sakis (Pithecia albicans), and reportedly with black-headed uscaris (Cacajao melanocephalus). Distinguishing Characteristics: White-throated capuchins have a white to yellowish throat, head and shoulders. White-throated capuchins, like many primates, enhance the health of the forest by pollinating some plants and dispersing the seeds of others. www.monkeyzone.com /capuchins.htm   (1845 words)

Cebidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It includes the marmosets, tamarins, capuchin monkeys and squirrel monkeys. Previously, New World monkeys were divided between the Callitrichidae and this family, but modern classifications place the genera from Callitrichidae as a subfamily in Cebidae (named Callitrichinae), while moving other genera into the other families. The Cebidae form one of the four families of New World monkeys now recognised. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cebidae   (150 words)

capuchin monkey --  Encyclopædia Britannica Capuchins, considered among the most intelligent of the New World monkeys, are named for their “caps” of hair, which resemble the cowls of Capuchin monks. Capuchins are favored by organ-grinders and are often used in films and television.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: University of Oxford The Franciscan Capuchin Fathers have recently (1910) opened a small house of studies for junior members of their Order; they have at present the status of non-collegiate students. Good work is done in both of these institutions, the members of which, for the most part, are preparing to take part in tuition at the English Jesuit and Benedictine colleges; and many of their members have obtained the highest academical honours in the various university examinations. Catholics are, of course, exempt from attending the college chapels, and they have a central chapel of their own, with a resident chaplain appointed by the Universities Catholic Board (of which one of the English bishops is chairman), who says Mass daily for the Catholic students. www.newadvent.org /cathen/11365c.htm   (3804 words)

Birdwatching Trip Report from COSTA RICA Highlights were White Ibises, Brown Boobies and Brown Pelicans offshore, Orange-chinned Parakeets in the palms and a Bat Falcon which attacked the Spotted and Western Sandpipers on the estuary. The most spectacular sight though was the visible diurnal migration of Tree and Barn Swallows mixed in with Eastern Kingbirds heading northwards in their thousands. We had lunch at Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui before heading to Horquetas to begin a rather moist journey to Rara Avis. www.birdtours.co.uk /tripreports/costarica/costar3   (4617 words)

The Living Edens "Manu" -- Glenn Shepard Jr. on the People of Manu One would-be Prometheus tried to steal the fire sticks, but held the sticks too close to his face and singed off all his hair, and was thus turned into the white-fronted capuchin monkey, known in Machiguenga as koshiri, "the thief". So the shaman replaced it with a crown from the feathers of a green headed parrot, but this proved to be too cool. First he made a red crown from the feathers of the scarlet macaw, but when he put the crown on the little "sun" and lifted him into the sky, the sun burned too brightly, scorching the earth and burning the roofs of houses. www.pbs.org /edens/manu/native13.htm   (347 words)

Tropical Birding Southeast Brazil birding trip report June 2005 We headed back to Sao Paulo and flew to Rio, staying in the airport hotel so we could meet the Harpers when they arrived on their very early flight. We watched it soaring for many minutes; the white at the base of the primaries was very obvious, though the tail pattern was not terribly distinct. Our weather at first could not have been better, with day after day pleasant temperatures and clear blue skies filled with puffy white clouds. www.tropicalbirding.com /tripReports/TR_Brazil_Jun2005.html   (8284 words)

Great defenders of the Catholic Faith - St Athanasius - banished from his diocese multiple times - condemned by Pope Liberius Capuchin friary libraries and the libraries of St. Louis University had ample research materials, except in a few cases. The red and white poles which hang outside barber shops are hold-overs from that earlier time, their “medical” origins, now mostly forgotten. Thanks are due to my Capuchin confreres who have helped in finding, checking out and returning books, or who have perhaps listened to a noisy old typewriter after dream time. www.chantcd.com /doct/doctors_church.htm   (11815 words)

Science Russ Mittermeier, a primatologist who is president of Conservation International and head of the IUCN's Primate Species Survival Commission, said the great push right now is to raise enough money to keep the primates alive. Not only are humans destroying the jungles and other landscapes primates need, but they are also hunting them for a growing commercial bushmeat market, the report said. He said conservation scientists understand how to save species and have already chalked up successes in Brazil in bringing monkeys back from the brink. www.well.com /user/davidu/headlong.html   (856 words)

Monkey training for organ grinders in the 1800's With much showing of white teeth and many smiles, the party went out into Park Row, while proud Guiseppe hid the monkey under his coat and lingered behind to whisper confidentially as if it were a state secret: They are classed by the trade as the Crown or Capuchin variety. Why the Italians prefer this species is a matter of conjecture, as there are many other kinds which would answer the purpose equally as well. www.floraco.com /organs/monkey   (864 words)

Laboratory Primate Newsletter, Volume 36, Number 2 Twenty-six behaviors were observed, of which six involved the devices (visual exploration, tactile exploration, olfactory exploration, playing, resting head or hand on it for a minimum of 5 seconds, and extracting food from it). Where the bolt head was tightened on the outside of the T-bar, a small plate of 1/4" steel was placed so as not to crack the PVC pipe (Figure 4). One other food device, a 6" x 1/2" clear plastic tray (placed on top of cage) was tested, but no statistical analysis was performed because of the low frequency of interaction with it. www.brown.edu /Research/Primate/lpn36-2.html   (17701 words)

Rhythm of the Tropics at Miami Metrozoo They occur in mixed species groups with tufted capuchins in the wild—nobody is quite sure why—but undoubtedly this is linked with protection from predation (more eyes and ears) and possibly also benefiting from the rummaging of the capuchin monkeys above them, picking up bits, scraps, and insects disturbed by them. There are two species of tufted capuchins in the Amazon: Cebus apella (from the Guianas and western Amazonia) and Cebus macrocephalus (from the upper Amazon—Peru, Colombia, western Brazilian Amazon). Cebidae: Subfamily Cebinae (capuchin monkeys), Subfamily Saimiriinae (squirrel monkeys). www.jonesandjones.com /mmz/primates.html   (2600 words)

Venezuela birding 1995 Southeast A bit further is a (partly secondary?) forest trail to the S, starting at a white sign. Further species were Turquoise Tanager, Black-headed Parrot, several Black Nunbird, Blue Dacnis (female feeding a young), Red-throated Caracara (3 together), but the highlight here was Grey-winged Trumpeter*, two walking slowly across the road at 40 m from where we were standing to eat some of our take-away breakfast. Then we saw a small flock, too fast again: White-shouldered Tanager, and two unidentified birds, both about 12 cm, one with erect tail, yellowish belly and stout bill, the other grayish all over, with two lighter wing bars. home.tiscali.nl /~jvanderw/ven95/verp95p2.html   (3739 words)
