abstract = {{Predation influences foraging strategies, as primates must avoid being preyed on while feeding. Some populations of capuchin monkeys are the only neotropical primates that customarily use the ground for nut-cracking. This time-consuming and focus-demanding foraging activity may increase susceptibility to predation events. However, there is currently no data on predation in tool-using Sapajus populations. We report a snake{\textquoteright}s (Boa constrictor) predatory attack on a bearded capuchin monkey (S. libidinosus) in a tool-using population, as well as the other monkeys{\textquoteright} alarm calling and threat displays. We confirm these monkeys{\textquoteright} predation vulnerability and discuss how they balance foraging requirements with predation risk.}},
