Bearded Capuchin Monkey: The Most IQ Monkey

Posted on January 20th, 2009 by Wildlife Luver, under Monkey, Wildlife News.

Scientists from the Institute of Cognitive sciences and Technologies of the National Research Council in Rome studied a group of bearded Capuchin Monkeys in Brazil and found an impressive finding- they select the most effective stone for use in cracking nuts. More over, they are rejecting those that are too light or crumbly.

These Capuchin monkeys make the right choice not only by seeing the stones but also tapping them if necessary. These monkeys are selecting the stones with heavy weight and using the same for cracking the tough nuts.
