They tend to spend time in a small sector of their territory until food is exhausted before moving on. White faced capuchins will avoid other groups of their own kind whenever possible as opposed to other species of capuchins whose ranges may be shared or overlapped. White faced capuchins are polygamous and live in groups of 3 to 30 members. They are very socialable within their group and spend their free time playing with and grooming each other. Their gestation period is approximately 150 days and their litter consists of one young.
Twins are rare.
They give birth about every 2 years, sometimes sooner if an infant dies. Their typical lifespan ranges from 15 to 20 years.
