Black-striped capuchin
[9] Females reach sexual maturity around 5 years of age and give birth about every 24 months to a single infant.[4] Using tools to dig, they can find foods like roots, tubers, as well as scare prey out of hiding spots.Stones play an interesting role in reproduction, as females will throw them at males for attention.It has been shown that they also use stones to make loud noises in order to intimidate potential predators.[16][17] This use of tools is a very well defined trait in black-striped capuchins and has been traced back over three thousand years.[19] In their natural environment, black-striped capuchins are diurnal and spend much of their day travelling in search of food, especially since they live in drier areas.[3] This leads them to spend more time travelling terrestrially, primarily quadrupedally and rarely walking bipedally to use tools.
