Mating behavior in female Capuchins

http://jungleguts.tumblr.com/

A documentation of female mating behavior in Capuchin monkeys taken at Parque Machia Animal Refuge in Villa tunari, Bolivia. Capuchins do not seem to sexually discriminate between some species as these affects were clearly directed at the camera man.

Many of the capuchins at the refuge are from private ownerships where they suffered a great deal of abuse and neglect. At the refuge we prepare them for release. Capuchins are wonderful animals but they have not been bred for domestication and should not be.

Where did you get her? She is so cute. And if you do not want to keep her feel free to let me know I would love to have a capuchin and trying very hard to find someone that will help me get one I do not have the fee to adopt so I am looking to see if someone is wanting to rehome the monkey it does happen? Or if you know someone in the states looking for a home because they do not have time etc to care for the little guy or girl let me know thanks!

@Skydancer1971 If you looked at the introduction you would see that this video was shot at a wildlife refuge. I do not support keeping capuchins as pets and neither does this refuge, there goal is to rehabilitate wildlife and then release them back into the wild. Many of the capuchins at the refuge are from private ownerships where they suffered a great deal of abuse and neglect. capuchins are wonderful animals but they have not been bred for domestication and should not be.

Shove a broomstick up her ass. She'll be happy as a clam.

@killbabymonkeys Yep. Like your mother last night.

[killbabymonkeys]

@SElement91 That's right. She wants a fuck, no more no less - a fuck and that's that.

@Skydancer1971 Obviously you wanted to have this monkey who is clearly not an infant and is an ADULT because she is showing MATING DISPLAYS YOU IDIOT

[SElement91]

@Skydancer1971 Trust me hun, you have no idea what you're talking about. Let me check your credentials. You are totally lying. Nobody with a brain would let you care for an infant monkey- you can't even tell that I am a different person than the person who uploaded this video, which is simple because we have different account names. I never even said anything about agreeing with the actions of what is happening in this video.

[SElement91]

@Skydancer1971 No, it is not a human's job to step in and care for them. Humans take care of monkeys at zoos and wildlife centers, not in their homes. As a primatologist, I know that it is the most BASIC KNOWLEDGE that humans SHOULD NOT KEEP PRIMATES IN THEIR HOME. You can leave a newborn overnight with her mother, not alone obviously but whoever said anybody is leaving a newborn alone at zoos? They don't- they leave them with TRAINED PROFESSIONALS not idiots like you.

[SElement91]

@Skydancer1971 Which zoo did you work for? Let me contact them. I don't believe you had any training because if you did you would know that this behavior is characteristic of a mating display BECAUSE IT IS ONE. And again, this is not my video. This is "JohnnieJungleGuts"'s video and I am Selement91, a different commenter who ALSO disagrees with you. You are so uneducated, it's horrific. You obviously have never fostered a brown capuchin because you don't even recognize basic mating behavior.

[SElement91]

@Skydancer1971 Are you even reading what I'm writing? I CAN'T TAKE THE CHAIN OFF OF HER BECAUSE I'VE NEVER SEEN HER. THIS VIDEO IS NOT MINE YOU IDIOT. Also, if you knew anything about brown capuchin you would know that this is a mating ritual, where the female rubs and hugs herself, making faces and stimulating herself with her tail. READ ABOUT IT. You're right, apes like chimpanzee and most monkeys "smile" when they are frightened, but this is a clear mating display.

[Skydancer1971]

Take the CHAIN off of her, she does NOT need it you would know this if you were a freaking priatoligist, what person other than an idiot would keep a Capuchin monkey on a chain? And Trust me that so called smile is not a smile she is showing she does NOT like you or the noise you're making. Primates do not smile it is a sign they are frighten or upset in some way.
