A gang of five juvenile capuchin monkeys on Jicarón Island has started abducting baby howler monkeys.

Abductions aren’t uncommon among primates.

Primates spending time with infants from another species is far less common.

The trend is “striking, and also very concerning for this endangered howler population,” researcher says.
