• Female weeper capuchins initiate a complex courtship ritual that is part of their mating behavior. Reproduction in these animals is not seasonal.
• The mother carries the infant.

Wedge-capped capuchins inhabit terrestrial environments and develop on land, away from bodies of water; their nests are built either on the ground or close to it, or high in the branches of shrubs or trees. The species gives birth to live young on land, without hatching from eggs or larvae. Embryonic development takes 5 months and 2 weeks. A female carries a single offspring for approximately 150 days, and the young rides on the mother’s back for over a year. Reproduction can occur at any time of the year, with litters consisting of one individual. The male and female exhibit homogamy, meaning reproduction always involves fertilization without generational changes. Sexual maturity is reached between 3 and 7 years. The interval between successive litters ranges from 1 to 2 years.
