Monkeys are highly social animals that typically live together in troops consisting of several females and young with either a single male (as in hamadryas baboons, mandrills, most guenons, and some langurs) or multiple males (as in savannah baboons and macaques). They usually breed at various times throughout the year. Females nurse their young and have a menstrual cycle, just like humans.
Opportunistic omnivores, monkeys feed on a wide variety of foods including fruits, flowers, leaves, insects, small vertebrates and bird eggs.
Play is a central component to monkey life. Many people who share their lives with monkeys say that they are endlessly entertaining and incredibly affectionate. However, it is important to keep in mind that monkeys are wild animals, and they can be unpredictable and sometimes challenging to live with.
Monkeys need a diet high in complex carbohydrates. Organic, homemade oatmeal is a good choice but don’t add too much brown sugar or honey and don’t load your bowl with nuts and dried fruit, as these are high in fat.
If you are lucky enough to be able to work with a monkey, spend plenty of time playing with him and teaching him new tricks. Praise him when he does well, and make sure to use his name consistently so that he learns to respond when you call him. Avoid punishing him for misbehavior, as it will only reinforce the behavior and may make him afraid of you. Punishing also takes energy away from him that could be better spent eating or resting.
