What does SAJOU mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A small South American monkey of the capuchin family, with a rounded head and long prehensile tail.
A sajou is one of the capuchin monkeys native to the forests of South America, recognisable by its expressive face and gripping tail that helps it move through the trees. The name comes from older natural history writing and is now mostly used in zoology rather than everyday conversation. Sajous live in social troops and feed on fruit, insects and small animals found in the canopy. Early European travellers to South America used sajou as a general term for several similar capuchin species before modern classification separated them.
