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

Potential Threat

Capuchins can be very territorial. They might have seen her as a potential threat and attacked, but for some odd reason, they didn’t. They had their own little community that functioned like a well-oiled machine because they worked together and trust each other. They were deeply connected to one another and that family bond is something that she had been longing for.

In the beginning, they didn’t pay her any mind. She watched them getting food, grooming each other, and playing together. She was slowly growing envious. It had taken weeks for her to finally gain their trust and for them to make contact with her.
