Monkey

Description:

monkey is a primate, either an Old World monkey or a New World monkey. There are about 260 known living species of monkey. Many are arboreal, although there are species that live primarily on the ground, such as baboons. Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent. Unlike apes, monkeys usually have tails. Tailless monkeys may be called "apes", incorrectly according to modern usage; thus the tailless Barbary macaque is called the "Barbary ape". The New World monkeys are classified within the parvorder Platyrrhini, whereas the Old World monkeys (superfamily Cercopithecoidea) form part of the parvorder Catarrhini, which also includes the hominoids (apes and humans). Thus, as Old World monkeys are more closely related to hominoids than they are to New World monkeys, the monkeys are not a unitary (monophyletic) group.

Habitat:

Monkeys usually travel and feed in large groups. The howler monkey of South America lives in clans made up of several related families. However, some monkeys stay in family groups consisting of an adult male, one or more adult females, and their offspring of various ages. Each family may have its own territory, which it defends from other families. Most kinds of monkeys have only one offspring at a birth. Most monkeys eat insects, birds, birds' eggs, leaves, shoots, fruit, and grain. Some kinds eat small mammals and lizards. A few species, such as the crab-eating monkey of southeastern Asia, eat shellfish. With one exception, monkeys feed during the day. The owl monkey, or douroucouli, of South America, is the only monkey that sleeps by day and hunts its food at night.
