Monkeys are highly intelligent, displaying a range of emotions including sadness and even joy. They also seem to share many human characteristics such as forward-facing eyes, flat noses, and finger structures similar to those of humans.
In the wild, monkeys are omnivores, eating both plants and meat. They are also highly social, forming long-lasting groups that energetically defend their territory and that include members of both genders, as well as males and females of the same age. They communicate with each other using complex vocalizations. Their calls can be heard from miles away, and they can even recognize the voices of their friends.
Some species, such as colobus monkeys and langur babies, give birth to infants that are a different color from their parents. This is believed to make it easier for members of the troop to identify and care for the infant. Other species, such as spider monkeys, are known for their remarkable tree-climbing abilities. Their long limbs and tails resemble those of spiders, helping them dangle and swing from tree to tree. Their four long fingers are also useful, allowing them to grasp branches with great strength.
Monkeys require a great deal of attention. They can’t be left alone for extended periods of time because they will become bored and destructive. This can lead to severe behavioral problems, such as screaming and biting. In addition, monkeys do not mature like cats or dogs and are, in essence, permanent toddlers. Those who wish to own a monkey should think carefully about the demands this will place on their lives.
