Recent research has revealed that critically endangered golden-bellied capuchins (Sapajus xanthosternos) may have a broader geographical range than previously believed, with their ability to use stone tools playing a crucial role in their adaptability and survival.
Traditionally associated with the humid Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil, a notable population of golden-bellied capuchins was discovered by researchers at the State University of Montes Claros, prompting a deeper investigation into their habitat expansion. The findings challenge previous assumptions and open new avenues for understanding the species’ ecological adaptability.
