Monkeys are intelligent, social animals that form strong bonds with their keepers and can be trained to perform tricks. They’re natural climbers and enjoy a variety of physical activities, including playing with toys and exploring their enclosures.
In the wild, monkeys eat nuts, seeds, fruit, leaves, flowers, bark, vegetables, rodents and invertebrates. They may even eat insects, birds and other mammals, depending on their habitat. Monkeys often live in treetop societies and use vocalizations and body language to communicate. They are one of the most peaceful primates and are among the few animals that live in gender-neutral relationships with males and females.
Many species of monkey are endangered due to habitat loss, human development and hunting for food and traditional medicines. Others face threats like aging, inbreeding, and competition from other monkeys for a limited supply of food.
Researchers use monkeys in experiments to advance scientific knowledge and evaluate new medications. They’re also valuable tools for evaluating human-to-monkey transmission of infectious diseases, such as hepatitis and rabies. Despite the positive benefits of using monkeys in research, there are ways to minimize their stress and discomfort.
Monkeys are often kept as pets, but they can be difficult to care for. They require a large, safe enclosure and a lot of physical and mental stimulation. Many capuchin monkeys, for example, groom each other as a sign of affection and respect; keepers can foster similar feelings by grooming their monkeys. When it comes to cleaning, use a mild soap designed for humans and take special care not to get soap in the animal’s eyes.
