Any of four species of tropical monkeys (genus Cebus) found from Nicaragua to Paraguay. Considered among the most intelligent New World monkeys, capuchins are named for their cap of crown hair, which resembles the cowl of Capuchin monks. These stocky, round-headed monkeys are 12 – 22 in. (30 – 55 cm) long, with a hairy, prehensile tail of about the same length, and are brown or black, sometimes with white markings. Capuchins live in troops, often in the treetops. They eat fruit and small animals and sometimes raid plantations for oranges and other food. Easily trained, they are valued as gentle pets.

I found this on Answers.com hope it helped

Heyy thankz allot ! x I want to get one lol its just I dont know if you have to feed them milk when young or I can just chop up apples and small fruits x

You need to do a lot of research before getting one. They are a life committment. As babies they drink formula, and later can drink milk. They are amazing animals, but they are very time consuming. The reason people say monkeys are not good pets is because they have no understanding that a monkey is not a pet at all. A monkey is a companion, and their behavior will depend on how much time and attention you put into them. If you do not put in enough time and attention you will not get a well behaved monkey.
