“…During the dry season in the Urucum Massif, most of the tree species are flowering and [Ragusa-Netto and Silva, 2007], prompting greater use of gallery forests and encouraging capuchins to descend to the ground to drink water from the streams. Additionally, capuchin monkeys are known to forage opportunistically on animal prey, such as invertebrates and small vertebrates [Fedigan, 1990;Milano and Monteiro-Filho, 2009]. More humid habitats, such as gallery forests, tend to favour invertebrates and vertebrates, especially during the dry season, and these sources might be important when fruits are scarce, although we could not distinguish on which items capuchin monkeys were foraging from our photographs.…”

(Milano and Monteiro-Filho, 2009); squirrels (Sciurus aestuans, S. variegatoides) (Galletti, 1990;Cunha et al, 2006); coati pups (Nasua narica) (Newcomer and Fancy, 1985;Fedigan, 1990;Perry and Rose, 1994;Rose et al, 2003); anteater juveniles (Tamandua mexicana) (Rose et al, 2003); and even other primates, such as titi monkeys, Callicebus moloch (Sampaio and Ferrari, 2005), and owl monkeys, Aotus brumbacki (Carretero-Pinzon et al, 2008 (Amaral et al, 2005). Although the group has been well studied (Siemers, 2000;Amaral et al, 2005;Machado et al, 2012), this is the first report of this particular behavior.…”

“…Sapajus cay consta na lista vermelha da International Union for Conservation of Nature com status de menor preocupação (Least Concearn) (Rímoli et al 2018), e como vulnerável na lista da fauna brasileira ameaçada (2018), devido principalmente à perda e fragmentação de habitat. Espécies do gênero Sapajus, em geral conhecidas como macacos-prego, possuem grande flexibilidade comportamental e ecológica, além de hábitos alimentares generalistas (La Salles et al 2018), se alimentando de frutos, flores, vertebrados incluindo aves, lagartos, anfíbios e pequenos mamíferos (Galetti 1990, Rose et al 2003, Milano & Monteiro-Filho 2009. O macaco-prego, além de oportunista, é um dos poucos primatas Platyrrhini que podem capturar mamíferos (Galetti 1990), incluindo outros primatas, como dos gêneros Aotus (Hershkovitz 1983), Plecturocebus (Sampaio & Ferrari 2005) (Stanford et al 1994, Stanford 1995, Watts & Amsler 2013.…”

“…No entanto, essa relação predador-presa ainda é pouco conhecida para os primatas neotropicais. Dentre os principais primatas predadores em ambientes naturais estão os gêneros Cebus e Sapajus (Galetti 1990, Milano & Monteiro-Filho 2009, sendo que a pressão em populações de presas depende da abundância das populações do predador.…”
