Four-Year-Old Alone In Jungle Replaces Family For Primates

Capuchin’s Language

“Like when they whistle, it’s a food thing. The feeling that there is food somewhere, so we all get ready to follow one monkey. Then there is a ‘Tttttt’ when they are grooming each other. And a warning when they feel in danger.”
