Devious capuchin monkeys sound false predator alarms, in order to smuggle out previously stashed food, before higher-ranking members confiscate it.

From the BBC documentary "Clever Monkeys", narrated by the ever brilliant Sir David Attenborough.

  • These monkeys are badass! They are some of the most intelligent things on earth behind humans.

  • The leaders often take food from subordinates. Sounds familiar. I really don't think that we as humans have the right to call ourselves superior to animals.

  • @FallenFaith1 yea accept the ones that need homes

  • @SuperRoxasandSora It's so great to see these little guys in their NATURAL environment, rather than seeing them on a lead wearing a nappy and clothes don't you think?

  • @mitsospower12 they can be but they are usally gentle
