Capuchins

/ˈkæpətʃɪnz/ noun

Definition

Plural of capuchin; multiple capuchin monkeys or Capuchin friars.

Etymology

Plural formation of capuchin by adding the -s suffix in English.

Kelly Says

Capuchins have been documented using tools in the wild, and some researchers believe they might even have teaching cultures—meaning older monkeys actively show younger ones how to use rocks to crack nuts, which is incredibly rare in the animal kingdom.
