Fun fact! The white-faced capuchin is thought to be one of the most intelligent monkeys in the world. An institution in Boston, MA is utilizing this intelligence by training captive bred capuchins to do complex tasks such as pouring beverages, opening food containers, operating electrical equipment, and even scratching hard to reach itches! After intensive training, the monkeys are placed in a disabled person’s home to assist them in their everyday lives in a life-long partnership. http://bit.ly/1nAxKlf
