What is the enemy of a capuchin monkey?

Answer 1

In captivity I think their biggest enemy is humans, especially the ones that keep them in pet carriers day and night and feed them a main diet of people food.

In the wild there are many enemies, to name a few, animals that are bigger than they are (big cats, big snakes, some birds, etc) there is also parasites, disease and even monkeys in their own troop as they will fight to the death to obtain the highest ranking position in their troop and the respect (and fear) of the other members of the troop. Capuchins are all about who is the top banana, the alpha member of the troop.

Because of predators and disease, the lifespan of a capuchin is about 20 yrs in the wild, if in captivity (with the right caretaker) they can live beyond 45 yrs., infact, I believe the oldest one on record was 46 yrs, 11 months old when it died.
