@nbcnews: Scientists spotted surprising evidence of what they describe as monkey kidnappings while reviewing video from a small island of Panama. The capuchin monkeys were seen carrying at least 11 howler babies between 2022 and 2023. The monkeys’ motivations remain under investigation. Capuchins are house cat-size monkeys found in South America and Central America. They are long-lived, clever and learn new behaviors from each other. One group of capuchins in Panama has even learned to use stone tools to crack open nuts and seafood. Researchers at Max Planck and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute had set up more than 80 cameras to study capuchin tool use, but were surprised to see the first howler babies appear in early 2022.

They left out the sad part that they aren’t caring for them. They are not feeding them so they are ☠️

Someone else said they don’t feed them and some die 😭
