The playful and mischievous monkey embodies the spirit of joy, curiosity, and finding delight in life’s simplest moments. Its medicine encourages us to embrace our lighthearted side, fostering adaptability as we swing through new experiences with childlike wonder.
Monkeys are intelligent and social creatures that typically live in a group, or troop. Many troop structures are matrilineal, meaning that females descend from a single ancestor. In other cases, a single male leads the group. Regardless of the troop structure, most monkeys spend a great deal of their time in trees, and they often sleep there at night.
They use their long, prehensile tails to hold on while they collect fruit, nuts, seeds, flowers, leaves, birds’ eggs, and insects. Old World monkeys fill their large cheek pouches with food to eat throughout the day. Some monkeys, like langurs and colobus monkeys, have chambered stomachs that ferment and digest leaves. Others, such as baboons and geladas, prefer to eat meat, including young antelope, rabbits, and guinea fowl.
Monkeys are incredibly curious, and they use body language to communicate with one another. They can display a range of expressions, from smiling to frowning, but they don’t have the open-ended language skills that humans possess, and their body language can be misleading. For example, a monkey’s mouth may crinkle and look like a smile, but that expression can also be used to signal aggression, Live Science notes. Similarly, a monkey’s head bobbing might seem like a sign of interest, but it can also be a display of fear or aggression.
