<div class="tree_txt_unlinked"><p>Capuchin monkeys, <em>Cebus</em>,
are found in a variety of habitats throughout all South America, and
are perhaps the best-known New World monkey. Four species are
recognized: <em>C. albifrons</em>, <em>C. olivaceus</em>, <em>C. capucinus</em>, and <em>C.apella</em>. Capuchins live in large, multi-male multi-female groups, are medium in size, and exhibit sexual dimorphism. Dentally, <em>Cebus</em>
have large premolars and thick enamel used to open hard nuts. They are
arboreal quadrupeds with semi-prehensile tails that lacks the ventral,
tactile pad found in Atelinae.</p>
