Résumé
The observation of specific reactions by animals to dead conspecifics raises questions about their capacity to understand death. We describe the behavior of a captive group of tufted capuchins in the hours following the death of an adult female. The behavior of 12 subjects was recorded over a 5-h period. Most group members displayed exploratory behaviors toward the corpse, peering at it, smelling, touching, lifting or pulling it at least once. Interactions with the corpse were particularly frequent in the first hour, then decreased in the following hours. The relatives of the deceased female were the most involved individuals, and her daughter spent more time near her body than the other members of the group. Rates of interaction with the body were especially high in subadult individuals. Most of the behaviors directed to the body of the deceased individual appeared to be investigative.
