Monkeys are wild creatures that can live in many different habitats, from the tropical rainforests of Asia and Africa to arid desert savannas. They are omnivorous and feed on nuts, leaves, flowers, bark, seeds, insects, rodents, birds, and other animals. They use their long, prehensile tails to help them hang from branches while they collect food.
In the wild, monkeys generally travel in troops that may include many other members of their species. They are very social and use facial expressions, head bobbing, yawning, and other gestures to communicate with others in their troop. Grinning, or pulling the lip up to show teeth, is a threat or sign of aggression; biting is another way monkeys fight and defend themselves. Many monkeys, such as cotton-topped tamarins, raise and lower crests of fluffy white hair to emphasize their facial expressions.
Most monkeys are born alone, but they become part of a troop when they are young. A troop can be as small as a single monkey or as large as a group of over a thousand. Within a troop, males may form all-male groups, or harems, to control females for breeding.
Most monkeys spend their waking hours playing and learning the physical and social skills that they need for adulthood. They spend their nights snoozing in trees, often choosing tall, isolated trees that do not touch others. During the day, monkeys are very active and spend much of their time climbing and foraging for food. Many species of monkeys have close relationships with humans and are kept as pets, used in laboratories, or even sent into space on missions. But it takes a very special person to care for a monkey, and it is important to understand that these animals are wild animals that need to be kept in their natural habitats.
