use. In their natural environment, black-striped capuchins are diurnal and spend much of their day travelling in search of food, especially since they live in drier areas. This leads them to spend more time travelling terrestrially, primarily quadrupedally and rarely walking bipedally to use tools. Diet The diet consists of a wide range of foods. Fruits, nuts, insects, small vertebrates, flowers, and leaves. From this variety they especially eat fruits. Distribution Black-striped capuchins can be found in northern and central Brazil. Specifically, in the Cerrados, Caatingas, and Pantanal of Brazil.
