This young capuchin missed its jump and ended up in the water, behind the mangroves, but climbed out in better view.

  I suppose if there isn't a happy (wet) landing then failures will be just that and never will the monkey be able to venture up again. I guess over the water in the Mangroves, they have to opportunity to fail with only a blow to their dignity. Posted 5 years ago

    Yeah it's probably intelligent enough to take more risks when it knows it can. Posted 5 years ago
