Learn about stone-tool-using monkeys in Santa Catalina
Soná · Santa Catalina · Panama
Some white-faced capuchin groups on Jicarón and Coiba islands in Coiba National Park use stones as tools to open tough foods. In Santa Catalina, a gateway to the park, ask a nature guide about this research, locate the islands on a map and record one detail you learn. This is a learning activity; it requires neither a monkey sighting nor approaching animals or research sites.
