grooming behaviors play within the social world of the capuchins. As it is the goal of zoos and animal behaviorists to design enclosures for animals that will alter the behavior
of captive animals as little as possible, it is an ongoing task for researchers to determine the differences between the behavior of animals in captivity versus those in the wild,
as such information serves to inform the methods and practices of providing humane and balanced environments for zoo animals that succeed in simulating native environments to the greatest degree possible
and thereby encourage animal behavior that is closely aligned with behavior in the wild. To achieve facilitate this purpose, this study observed
two groups of capuchin monkeys during observations that occurred over the course of several days in order to determine if their grooming behavior was similar to or different from
capuchins in the wild. The observations took place at Palm Beach Dreher Zoo and included four hours of observing a group of Tufted capuchins and 4 hours observing a group
of W.T. capuchins. Introduction Capuchins are a species of monkey that is indigenous to all forested regions of South America. Due to their "liveliness, their intelligence, and ability," they are
epitomize the popular concept of a monkey (Capuchins, Subfamily cebinae No date). Capuchins live in large social groups in which the number of females is typically larger than the number
of males, with roughly half the group made up of juveniles (Capuchins, Subfamily cebinae No date). Observance of capuchin behavior has been an ongoing project for animal behaviorists for decades
and a focal point of research has been and continues to be differences in behavior that can be noted between the behavior of capuchins in captivity and those
