Download or read book Manipulative Monkeys written by Susan Perry and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-11 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With their tonsured heads, white faces, and striking cowls, the monkeys might vaguely resemble the Capuchin monks for whom they were named. How they act is something else entirely. They climb onto each other’s shoulders four deep to frighten enemies. They test friendship by sticking their fingers up one another’s noses. They often nurse—but sometimes kill—each other’s offspring. They use sex as a means of communicating. And they negotiate a remarkably intricate network of alliances, simian politics, and social intrigue. Not monkish, perhaps, but as we see in this downright ethnographic account of the capuchins of Lomas Barbudal, their world is as complex, ritualistic, and structured as any society. Manipulative Monkeys takes us into a Costa Rican forest teeming with simian drama, where since 1990 primatologists Susan Perry and Joseph H. Manson have followed the lives of four generations of capuchins. What the authors describe is behavior as entertaining—and occasionally as alarming—as it is recognizable: the competition and cooperation, the jockeying for position and status, the peaceful years under an alpha male devolving into bloody chaos, and the complex traditions passed from one generation to the next. Interspersed with their observations of the monkeys’ lives are the authors’ colorful tales of the challenges of tropical fieldwork—a mixture so rich that by the book’s end we know what it is to be a wild capuchin monkey or a field primatologist. And we are left with a clear sense of the importance of these endangered monkeys for understanding human behavioral evolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1954, in a remote mountain village in South America, a little girl was abducted. She was four years old. Marina Chapman was stolen from her housing estate and abandoned deep in the Colombian jungle. That she survived is a miracle. Two days later, half-drugged, terrified, and starving, she came upon a troop of capuchin monkeys. Acting entirely on instinct, she tried to do what they did: copying their actions she slowly learned to fend for herself. So begins the story of her five years among the monkeys, during which time she gradually became feral; lost the ability to speak, lost all inhibition, lost any sense of being human, replacing human society with the social mores her new simian family. But society was eventually to reclaim her. At age ten she was discovered by a pair of hunters who took her to the lawless Colombian city of Cucuta where, in exchange for a parrot, they sold her to a brothel. When she learned that she was to be groomed for prostitution, she made her plans to escape. But her adventure was not over yet... In the vein of Slumdog Millionaire and City of God, this rousing story of a lost child who overcomes the dangers of the wild to finally reclaim her life will astonish readers everywhere.

Book excerpt: This is a story of how miracles DO happen. How courage and a never-give-up spirit can emerge victorious. How an engaging little monkey helped change a family's life. Ellen Rogers considered herself something of a tragedy snob. The single mother of five believed she could weather any storm, that she could keep her family from harm with fortitude and grace. But nothing could have prepared her for the June 2005 car accident that left her son, Ned--then 22 years old--fighting for his life. Ellen refused to give in to despair. We'll get through this, she told herself. We have to. But love and determination can only go so far, and the road home was fraught with obstacles. Ellen and Ned took comfort in family and friends. And they prayed for a miracle. Miracles happen to those who believe, the saying goes, but who would have believed that one family's "miracle" would weigh in at five pounds sopping wet? Then Helping Hands: Monkey Helpers for the Disabled provided Ned with an affectionate and intelligent service animal with a steadfast devotion to hierarchy, a longing for "spa days," and a craving for Gummi Bears. In other words, a diva. Life with Kasey was yet another challenge for this large and lively family, but they persevered as families do, and in time this wise and sensitive animal did more than help Ned cope with his disabilities--she turned the simple tasks of life into a life worth living. Kasey's astonishing intelligence and compassion brought hope and laughter back to a family facing its greatest challenge, and helped them see the world in a new way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capuchin monkeys are a species of New World monkeys that are native to Central and South America. They are members of the genus Cebus. Their intelligence and agility have made them more desirable as exotic pets and subjects of study. This is a detailed analysis of their characteristics, surroundings, and conduct. 1. Physical characteristics The body length of capuchin monkeys ranges from 12 to 22 inches (30 to 55 cm), and their weight ranges from 3 to 9 pounds (1.4 to 4.5 kg). Capuchin monkeys are small to medium-sized primates. Their tails have the potential to get significantly longer. Their appearance seems peculiar: - Coloration: Their fur can range in color from pale tan to dark brown, with a lighter face and chest. Some animals have a "cap" of darker fur covering their heads, which gives them their names. - Facial Features: They have binocular vision, which is necessary for perceiving depth, thanks to their forward-facing eyes and expressive features. - Prehensile Tail: Their prehensile tails let them to grasp and retain items. This tail is a vital tool for keeping balance and navigating the trees. 2. Dispersal and Environment Capuchin monkeys are found in a variety of woodland habitats throughout Central and South America, from Honduras and Nicaragua to Brazil and northern Argentina. They can survive in both tropical rainforests and dry woodlands thanks to their remarkable environmental adaptability. They hardly ever venture below the canopy, where an abundance of food and defense against several predators can be found. The majority of their time is spent in the canopy. 3. Meals and Feeding Customs The following foods make up a capuchin's omnivorous diet: - Fruits and Nuts: They provide them with energy and essential vitamins and comprise a significant portion of their diet. - Insects and Small Animals: A good source of protein is found in insects, small birds, and other small vertebrates. - Plant Material: They also consume leaves, flowers, and seeds to further illustrate their varied diet. They have been seen employing tools like twigs to remove insects from cracks and stones to break nuts, demonstrating how adaptable their foraging behavior is. Their use of tools demonstrates their intelligence and capacity for problem-solving. 4. Social Structure and Behavior Primate gregariousness characterizes capuchin monkeys, who typically live in groups of two to several dozen. These groupings often consist of multiple males, females, and their offspring. Their entire existence is centered around a social hierarchy where dominant people get preference for food and partners. Key elements of their social behavior include: - Grooming: A necessary activity to maintain social relationships and personal hygiene. - Communication: They employ vocalizations, facial expressions, and body language to communicate. This includes warning and mating sounds, as well as signs of hostility or submission. - Play: Young capuchins develop their motor skills and social skills via play. 5. Life Duration and Offspring In the wild, capuchin monkeys can live up to 25 years, but in captivity, they can live up to 40 years with proper care. Normally, females give birth to one kid after five to six months of gestation. The young are totally dependent on their mothers throughout the first few months of their lives; they learn essential survival skills from them and travel on their backs. 6. Both intelligence and problem-solving skills The intelligence of capuchin monkeys is widely acknowledged. Studies show that they are able to use tools, work out challenging problems, and even perform tasks like cleaning food or using leaves as sponges that are believed to be ancestral to human behavior. They are popular and challenging pets because of their intelligence, which makes them fascinating study subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capuchin monkeys are small primates known for their distinctive appearance and intelligent behavior. They typically have a brown or black fur coat with lighter-colored faces, often with white markings around their eyes and on their foreheads. Their most recognizable feature is the tuft of fur on top of their heads, resembling a hood or cap, which gives them their name. Capuchins have long, agile limbs and prehensile tails, which they use for balance and gripping objects while climbing. Their hands and feet are highly dexterous, allowing them to manipulate and explore their environment with precision. These monkeys are highly social animals, often living in groups called troops in their natural habitat. They communicate through a variety of vocalizations, facial expressions, and body language. Capuchins are opportunistic omnivores, feeding on a diverse diet of fruits, seeds, nuts, insects, and small animals. In the wild, capuchins inhabit tropical forests of Central and South America, where they spend much of their time foraging for food in the trees. They are known for their problem-solving abilities and innovative foraging techniques, such as using tools to extract insects from crevices or cracking open nuts with stones. Overall, capuchin monkeys are fascinating creatures with complex social structures and behaviors, making them a subject of interest for researchers and enthusiasts alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A brilliantly crafted novel, brimming with heart.”―Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage “Rich and compelling . . . Her characters are vividly, achingly real, including the tiny, furry one at the novel’s center.”―Ann Packer, author of The Dive From Clausen’s Pier “Stark and compelling . . . rigorously unsentimental yet suffused with emotion.”―Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Duncan Wheeler is a successful architect who savors the quotidian pleasures in life until a car accident leaves him severely paralyzed and haunted by the death of his young assistant. Now, Duncan isn’t sure what there is left to live for, when every day has become “a broken series of unsuccessful gestures.” Duncan and his wife, Laura, find themselves in conflict as Duncan’s will to live falters. Laura grows desperate to help him. An art conservator who has her own relationship to the repair of broken things, Laura brings home a highly trained helper monkey―a tufted capuchin named Ottoline―to assist Duncan with basic tasks. Duncan and Laura fall for this sweet, comical, Nutella-gobbling little creature, and Duncan’s life appears to become more tolerable, fuller, and funnier. Yet the question persists: Is it enough? Katharine Weber is a masterful observer of humanity, and Still Life with Monkey, full of tenderness and melancholy, explores the conflict between the will to live and the desire to die.

Excerpt: The white-headed capuchin (Cebus capucinus), also known as the white-faced capuchin or white-throated capuchin, is a medium-sized New World monkey of the family Cebidae, subfamily Cebinae. Native to the forests of Central America and the extreme north-western portion of South America, the white-headed capuchin is important to rainforest ecology for its role in dispersing seeds and pollen. Among the best known monkeys, the white-headed capuchin is recognized as the typical companion to the organ grinder. In recent years the species has become popular in North American media. It is a highly intelligent monkey and has been trained to assist paraplegic persons. It is a medium-sized monkey, weighing up to 3.9 kg (8.6 lb). It is mostly black, but with a pink face and white on much of the front part of the body, giving it its common name. It has a distinctive prehensile tail that is often carried coiled up and is used to help support the monkey when it is feeding beneath a branch. In the wild, the white-headed capuchin is versatile, living in many different types of forest, and eating many different types of food, including fruit, other plant material, invertebrates, and small vertebrates. It lives in troops that can exceed 20 animals and include both males and females. It is noted for its tool use, including rubbing plants over its fur in an apparent use of herbal medicine, and also using tools as weapons and for getting to food. It is a long-lived monkey, with a maximum recorded age of over 54 years. Some authorities consider...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owning a Capuchin monkey can be a unique and gratifying experience, but it also has considerable problems and obligations. Understanding the benefits and drawbacks is critical for anyone thinking about introducing one of these clever monkeys into their house. Capuchin monkeys are known for their intelligence. They have high cognitive abilities that enable them to solve problems, use tools, and learn by observation and imitation. This intelligence makes them extremely trainable, and they can be taught a wide range of duties and tricks. For example, Capuchin monkeys have been trained to help people with disabilities by fetching belongings, opening doors, and turning lights on and off. Their ability to learn and adapt makes them interesting and entertaining companions.
