Comparative anatomy of the hind limb vessels of the bearded Capuchins (Sapajus libidinosus) with apes, baboons, and Cebus capucinus : with Comments on the vessels' role in bipedalism
Capuchin monkeys are known to exhibit sporadic bipedalism while performing specific tasks, such as cracking nuts.The bipedal posture and locomotion cause an increase in the metabolic cost and therefore increased blood supply to lower limbs is necessary. Here, we present a detailed anatomical descrip...
