CB is a tufted capuchin, estimated to have been born in the late 1980's and arriving at Jungle Friends on April 8th, 2005. Captured in the rainforest as a youngster, CB was stolen from his natural home and exported to the US where he was sold into research. CB lived for nearly two decades housed alone in the lab. Fortunately, after the research program ended, CB and eight other tufted capuchins were retired from the laboratory to Jungle Friends.
Here at Jungle Friends, they all enjoy large, naturalistic outdoor habitats. CB appears to be very intense, he always seems so serious even as he climbs and jumps from tree to tree, constantly exploring. CB is an accomplished forager and spends much of his day searching the ground for tasty tidbits. CB was introduced to Wild Bill, another one of the monkeys retired from the lab, and they have even been seen playing together! We consider the 'play state' the highest state a primate can achieve, human primates included. CB and his monkey friends are thoroughly enjoying life at Jungle Friends.
