00:00We just got in 15 brand new residents here at the San Diego Zoo.
00:08There are 15 tufted capuchin monkeys and they are a barrel of fun to watch.
00:14This is a very diverse group of animals.
00:17There are 6 males and 9 females and their ages range from 1 all the way up to 35.
00:24So within the tufted capuchin group there is one dominant male
00:27and our dominant male's name is Ozzy and Ozzy is the biggest.
00:31He's the most impressive looking and he rules the group.
00:35So in the wild he would be responsible for finding food for the group, for protecting the group.
00:40So they all bow down to Ozzy and then there's less dominant animals within that group
00:46and there is also a dominant female and her name is Wilma.
00:50Capuchin monkeys are found in South and Central America
00:53and they are diurnal so they're awake during the day.
00:57They spend most of their daytime hours looking for food, watching for predators
01:01and they have the largest brain of all New World monkeys so they're very intelligent.
01:08So if you come to the San Diego Zoo and you stand in front of this exhibit
01:11you're going to see them playing, interacting with each other
01:14and they love to interact with the public.
01:17So it's very likely that you're going to be entertaining them
01:20just as much as they're entertaining you.
01:22So it's very likely that you're going to see them
