Capuchin Monkey

Capuchin monkeys are New World monkeys belonging to the subfamily Cebinae. They are easily recognized as the "organ grinder" monkey and have appeared in numerous films and television shows. The capuchin is widely regarded as the most intelligent New World monkey and is frequently used in research. The tufted monkey is notable for its long-term tool use, making it one of the few examples of primate tool use other than apes and humans.

It's difficult not to want a Capuchin monkey after seeing them on the big screen in shows like Friends and movies like Night at the Museum. They have such endearing personalities that they almost appear human. However, because they can exhibit aggressive behavior in real life, they are only recommended for expert caregivers.

Purchasing a Capuchin usually costs between $3,500 and $8,500. Furthermore, the cost of constructing a proper enclosure ranges from $650 to $3,500, which includes plenty of things for your monkey to climb on. You should also budget at least $25 per week for food, which will primarily consist of fruits and insects. They typically live between 15 and 25 years, so you should plan on having them for a long time.
