On Jicarón Island in Panama, researchers captured a jaw-dropping behavior: young male capuchins abducting baby howler monkeys—not to eat them, but seemingly to care for them. This first documented “social fad” among a primate species sparked imitation among other males, though tragically, the infants often perished. Scientists suggest a mix of misdirected caregiving instincts and cultural mimicry. This episode peels back layers of this strange, haunting phenomenon—leaving us to wonder: is it empathy, boredom, or simply a bizarre monkey fad?
