Monkeys are cute and intelligent animals that eat a lot of strange smelling things, love to throw their own poop and consider it a legitimate way to settle disputes. However, the reality is that they are endangered because humans have messed up their natural habitat. Their numbers are declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting for bushmeat and traditional medicine, and live capture for the global pet trade.
Monkeys can be found all over the world and are divided into two groups — New World monkeys and Old World monkeys. Both groups have prehensile tails and can move by clinging and jumping or walking on all fours (quadrupedalism). They use their tails for balance and movement, grabbing branches with them.
Most monkeys are omnivorous, eating nuts, fruits, seeds, leaves, flowers, roots, bark and vegetables, as well as insects, birds’ eggs, and small mammals. They have chambered stomachs that allow them to eat and digest tough plants like berries, leaves, and vines. Some species also eat meat, including young antelope, rabbits and guinea fowl.
They travel a lot in their search for food and by moving around, they spread the seeds of plants, flowers, and trees so that their environment and natural habitat can continue to thrive. Some monkeys also carry bacteria that enable them to eat grass.
Monkeys are highly social animals and most species live in troops made up of a group of females with their young, plus one or more males. In some species, the males stay in their troop until they mate; in others, there are no restrictions and a male may join other troops at any time.
