00:00In the middle of the jungle, everything can be used for survival.
00:03Even if you don't have a knife, this animal has a plan.
00:07It uses rocks to open its food.
00:10Stay tuned for the story of Amazing Number 3.
00:13Stay tuned.
00:15This is the Scrub Forest in Boa Visita, Brazil.
00:20The sun shines in the quiet wilderness.
00:24Until...
00:27The Capuchin monkeys roll the rocks from the top of the mountain.
00:34These monkeys are not fond of chaos.
00:39They are the so-called Einstein Capuchins.
00:42They are said to be the smartest of their kind.
00:45And breaking the rocks is just part of their plan.
00:50Nature provides them with delicious but hard-to-eat canned nuts.
00:58These nuts are wrapped in very hard wood.
01:03But the smart capuchins have a plan to open it.
01:09First, they will remove the skin before dropping it to the ground to dry.
01:17Then, they will wait a few days for the skin to dry.
01:24Can they do it?
01:25Looks like they can't.
01:28Oh, here it is.
01:30The next step is the hardest.
01:34To open the fruit, they will smash it with big rocks.
01:41Some of the rocks they dropped earlier were heavier than a bowling ball.
01:48It's like the discarding of South American Capuchins went back to the Stone Age.
01:54But it's not that simple.
01:56To open it, they need to hit it right.
02:03They can open five of those.
02:07Success!
02:11In the crystal clear waters of Rio Formoso in Brazil,
02:16life is easier for some capuchins there.
02:19Because they can get fruits from the surrounding area.
02:23The capuchins named their capuchins because they look like capuchin monks.
02:29And the capuchins who are fond of fruits are blessed from above.
02:36Because every time they fly above the trees,
02:39there are fruits falling from the ground of the forest.
02:47In the water, there is a special group of fish waiting under the branches of the trees.
02:57The piracotangas.
03:01They are all different.
03:04And the falling fruits are not enough for the fish.
03:09After eating, the capuchins will rest on the branches.
03:17That's why the hungry piracotangas are discarding so they can eat.
03:23It's like there is a trampoline under the water and they will jump from above.
03:31Their target are the fruits lying on the branches.
03:37It's good that their eyes are sharp.
03:41And they can jump up to one meter above the water.
03:46Because of their celebration, the capuchins will wake up.
03:50The news spread quickly that their food is being stolen by fish.
04:00In the end, they also caught some fish.
