Capuchin Monkey: Capuchin monkeys are small, intelligent primates native to Central and South America, often seen in entertainment due to their dexterous hands and expressive faces. They are highly social, curious, and capable of learning complex tasks. However, as pets, they present extreme challenges: they require constant mental stimulation, social interaction, and vast space to climb and explore. Without proper care, they become destructive, aggressive, or depressed. Their diet and veterinary needs are highly specialized. Most U.S. states and countries restrict or ban private ownership due to safety and ethical concerns. Capuchins live over 30 years, demanding lifelong commitment. Keeping wild primates as pets raises serious animal welfare issues, making them inappropriate and controversial choices for private owners.
