Small, speedy and always up to something. The monkeys are the clowns and acrobats of the troupe.
Our capuchins have bodies 12 to 22 inches long, plus a tail about as long again for balance.
Capuchins live in the rainforests of Central and South America, high up in the tree canopy.
Nimble fingers and real problem-solving skill. Capuchins are known for using tools, so they pick up props and tricks fast.
The monkeys swing in from the high rope, trade hats with the audience and keep the show moving between the bigger acts.
