Monkeys are animals that live in the suborder of simian primates (Haplorrhini). Old World monkeys, such as chimpanzees and gorillas, have prehensile tails, while New World monkeys, such as baboons and macaques, have digitigrade tails.
They are intelligent creatures, but they also have many other physical and social needs that must be met if they are to survive in the wild. The first of these is food!
Depending on the species, monkeys may eat fruit, leaves, nuts, seeds, birds’ eggs, insects and other small mammals. Some of them also eat meat, including rabbits and guinea fowl.
In addition to their diet, monkeys also need to play and exercise. They are highly energetic animals that need lots of room to roam and play.
While it might seem like the perfect pet, owning a monkey is a serious commitment that takes time and money to get right. From vet’s bills to food, cages, supplements and toys – it’s not a cheap hobby!
It is important to do your research and find out all you can about monkeys before getting one. Check with your local animal welfare agency and make sure that the monkey you buy is legally allowed to be kept as a pet.
Finally, you need to consider your insurance policy and be aware of any zoonotic diseases that might be transferred between your monkey and humans. Some companies might cancel your coverage if you own a monkey, so it’s crucial to find out what you need before you start shopping around.
