✍️ Scientists have discovered a surprising phenomenon of monkey kidnappings on a small island in Panama, where capuchin monkeys have been seen carrying at least 11 howler monkey babies.
👉 Capuchin monkeys have been seen carrying at least 11 howler monkey babies on a small island in Panama.
👉 The motivations behind this behavior are still unknown, but the researchers believe it may be a social tradition or 'fad' among the young male capuchins.
👉 The capuchin monkeys did not eat or prey on the babies, nor did they seem to enjoy playing with them.
👉 The baby howlers died in most or all cases, likely from starvation.
👉 The researchers believe that the capuchin monkeys may have had a confused 'caring motivation' or parental instinct.
