Why People Want Capuchin Monkeys as Pets
The charming faces and the playful personalities of Capuchin monkeys are simply one of a kind. They are said to be "little humans in fur coats" because they are capable of learning routines, forming attachments, and displaying a range of emotions.
They are picked for their:
◉High degree of sociability, and affection and closeness in a relationship
◉Recognition of their humans and interest in regular patterned interactions
◉ Long companionship (Capuchin lifespan: 25–40 years)
◉Recognition of their humans and interest in regular patterned interactions
Even so, the interaction must be profound and intricate, noting that they are not a common household pet. They are more sophisticated than a dog or cat, and they require more intricate care, enrichment, and unswerving devotion for the remainder of their lives.

◉Adolescent biting or aggression
◉Feeling bored when they are left by themselves
