That's news to mee too. Perhaps it is so they
need not have bowel mopvements as often.

I understand that for some reason unknown,
they cannot or will not let fly from the
tree-tops, and are vulnerable to jaguars &c
when they feel a need need to 'go' and
must descend to ground level.

Maybe they have a very strong instinctive
urge to bury their crap, which is strange
because that is a habit usually exercised
only by carnivores.
