Tips

usage
('hanging monkey') is the Chinese name for capuchins — the group with strongly prehensile tails they hang by. ('black cap') refers to the dark tuft on the crown. Along with chimpanzees and some crows, they are one of the few non-human animals documented using stone tools in the wild (to crack palm nuts in Brazil).
