El mono capuchino de cabeza grande (Sapajus macrocephalus) es un omnívoro generalista conocido por su dieta flexible y estrategias de alimentación oportunista. En septiembre del 2022, en la Estación Biológica Manu Learning Centre al sureste de Perú, se observó un grupo de siete monos depredando a dos zarigüeyas lanudas de orejas marrones (Caluromys lanatus). La alimentación siguió un orden jerárquico, con el macho alfa y una hembra con un infante alimentándose primero, seguidos por un juvenil. No hubo comportamiento agresivo hacia los juveniles, lo que sugiere que los adultos pueden facilitar su alimentación. Esta observación agrega un nuevo ítem a la dieta de los capuchinos y resalta sus diversos hábitos alimenticios.
