The black-striped capuchin (Sapajus libidinosus), also known as the bearded capuchin, is a New World monkey in the family Cebidae. They are native to northern and central Brazil. These capuchins mostly live in dry forests, and savannah landscapes between the Rio Araguaia and the Rio Grande. Known for its tool use, the black-striped capuchin has been shown to use tools in a wide variety of situations, ranging from using rocks for nut cracking to using sticks for digging. They were, until recently, considered a subspecies of the tufted capuchin, but because of more research and insights, they are considered their own species by many.
They often live in highly social groups ranging from 6-20 individuals. Females are philopatric, show coalition, and linear dominance hierarchy. Females reach sexual maturity around 5 years of age and give birth about every 24 months to a single infant.
The black-striped capuchin is a New World monkey and a member of the Cebidae family, which contains both capuchins and squirrel monkeys. Until the past few decades, the black-striped capuchin was considered a subspecies of the tufted capuchin but has slowly become accepted as a separate species... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Black-striped Capuchin sighting in Brasilia on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Black-striped Capuchin in Brasilia on a given day, against under 5% in February, August and November, the lowest months. Those are among Brasilia's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 220 mm in December.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-striped Capuchin sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Black-striped Capuchin sightings, Brasilia ranks 2nd at about 20%. The best odds are in Goiânia (Brazil, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-striped Capuchin is recorded against all the mammals logged in Brasilia (29 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
