Infants of the black-capped capuchin are carried on the back of the mother in a transverse position for the 1 st month of life and subsequently in a longitudinal position. In addition to the mother, brothers and sisters frequently interact with the infants. The first 6 months of life are hence the ‘kin phase’ in the life of the infants.
