Abstract

Predation of capuchin monkeys (Sapajus spp.) and other primates by cougars (Puma concolor) is reported by some studies, but empirical evidence is limited to cougar's scats. This note presents the video record evidence of predation of a black capuchin monkey (Sapajus nigritus) by a cougar in a large Atlantic forest area of southeastern Brazil, probably in the context of food providing for young.
