Monkeys are highly intelligent and social animals. They can express many of the emotions that we humans do such as love, anger and sadness and they mourn loved ones who have died. They can also laugh and play.
Monkey feeding habits depend on the species but generally fruit is a primary food source for most. It is often seasonal though and monkeys move about their habitats to locate the fruits that are most plentiful at any given time. The smart monkeys make mental maps of the forest canopy to help them efficiently travel from one fruiting tree to another.
Many types of monkey are endangered. This is due to a combination of factors such as the destruction of their natural habitat, the illegal pet trade and hunting for bushmeat or traditional medicines.
The most important thing we can do is to protect and conserve the monkey’s natural habitat. It is essential for their survival.
In captivity monkeys are usually well behaved and get along fine within their groups but they do require a large amount of space to roam and explore. They also need a wide variety of toys and exercise equipment to keep them mentally stimulated and physically challenged.
Monkeys do not make good house pets because they are too strong for most homes and they can be very destructive. Monkeys that are not in the proper home environment can be aggressive, and can hurt or kill their human companions. Those who have been abandoned by their former owners (like many monkeys in the pet trade) often end up in zoos or in sanctuaries to live out their remaining lives.
