Capuchin monkeys like Montgomery here, are generally very enterprising when it comes to obtaining food and they often venture out of the trees to hunt crabs, clams, and other small animals in the swamps. They also hunt large insects and collect birds eggs in the trees in addition to eating leaves and fruit. During the rainy season when mosquitoes bother them, capuchins rub their fur with crushed millipedes that produce a chemical insect repellent. Montgomery, with his distaste for crushing anything into his fur, has relied upon dabbing skunk oil on his ears to keep the insects away. Unfortunately it also keeps his friends and neighbors away.
Montgomery is 14 inches long and features an easy-to-use control with easy-to-untangle strings.
