Young swamp monkeys have the ability to emit a chirpy sound. This sound indicates alarm and allows the parent to be aware of its offspring’s danger level.

Because these monkeys have webbed fingers and toes, they are very good at swimming. They can dive into water to escape predators.

These monkeys will remove dead skin and bugs from each other's coat as a ocial bond and to keep free of disease/infections.

In the wild, swamp monkeys look for food in small groups. ("Power in numbers")
