A monkey is a simian that belongs to the order of primates. Monkeys are found in the wild and are often used as pets, but they are not for everyone. Many people are unable to care for monkeys and it can also be against the law to own them in some places. Monkeys require a lot of time and attention. They need lots of exercise and play. They must be kept in an environment that is large enough and with bars to prevent them from escaping. They can be expensive and need regular vet visits as they can contract zoonotic diseases from other animals. They are also prone to aggression and may attack people who they do not know. In some cases, these attacks can result in criminal charges or even revocation of the permit to own the monkey.

Monkeys are very smart and have a variety of behaviors that are unique to them. They communicate with one another using facial expressions and gestures. They can even show affection and love for their group members. In the wild, monkeys work in groups when they go searching for food. They have very sharp claws, and the larger monkeys are fast.

When a monkey is first introduced to its new home it is important for the trainer to make sure that it feels comfortable in its surroundings. This can be done by talking to it and giving it treats. It is also important to interact with it physically by dancing and hopping around it. The trainer must always keep a calm manner when training monkeys as they can easily become frustrated and aggressive.
