Monkeys are incredibly intelligent animals with the ability to feel love, anger, sadness, and even mourn loss. They also have a sense of humor. They can even learn to use tools and communicate with one another using a variety of body language. They have forward-facing eyes, flat noses, and opposable thumbs. Many monkeys have prehensile tails, which they use to grip and hang onto branches as they move through their habitats.
They are omnivorous, eating fruits, nuts, seeds, leaves, bark, roots, flowers, insects, birds, lizards, and mammals—pretty much anything they can find. Because they cannot synthesize vitamin C, they must eat plenty of fruits. Monkeys can be very creative when it comes to foraging, too. Colobus monkeys, for example, “go fishing” by placing leaves or grass on top of water to attract tilapia and other fish, which they then eat.
Like humans, monkeys are social creatures and need to be part of a group for both physical and psychological health. They are also extremely territorial. If a monkey feels threatened, it will defend itself and its territory with vicious bites and scratches. In captivity, monkeys in groups can be very active and playful, but they must have a clear hierarchy of leadership to avoid conflict.
Purchasing a monkey—even from a legitimate breeder—fuels the exotic pet trade and contributes to their decline in the wild, where they are trapped for research and for people’s homes. Check your state’s regulations before buying a primate.
