Sex:
Male
Born: 1971


Character and Appearance:
Maurice is one of the adult males in the east group of brown capuchins. 

Capuchins can live up to 45 years in captivity, and despite his age and mild arthritis (for which he receives a joint supplement), he is extremely active. 

He is often seen rolling around in the grass with the youngsters and play-fighting.  Look out for his almost bald tail.

In 2009 he sired another offspring, making him a valuable contributor to the breeding programme.
