Munchi wtih an Aardvark

Anteater is a mammal of the suborder Vermilingua. It is a solitary animal and is also known as the anthill bear. Giant Anteaters are sometimes mistaken for bears because of their claws and bushy fur.

Aardvark is a mammal found in Africa. Aardvarks sleep during the day, and are active at night. They are nocturnal animals. If the nights are cold, sometimes they will come out in the daylight to lie in the sun and get warm. The aardvark has a long, thin, protruding tongue and elaborate structures supporting a keen sense of smell. Aardvarks are insectivores.

Capuchins, indeed, are a highly intelligent animal. So smart they are, they are even used for servicing humans with disabilities. 

Capuchin monkeys are thought how to be the arms and legs for people who have lost the use of theirs. The monkeys are trained to do things like take food from the refrigerator and heat it up in the microwave. etc..
