Predation of a Frog by Introduced Tufted Capuchins, Cebus apella, in Chaguaramas, Trinidad and Tobago

Abstract

During an intensive study of the introduced tufted capuchin (Cebus apella) in the Chaguaramas peninsula during March-November, 2010 (Narang et al. 2010), we observed the behaviour by which a capuchin monkey systematically ate a frog. We describe below, the observations of that predation event.
