Introduction
With the term monkey we usually refer colloquially to any of the
200 known species of tailed primates, classifiable as platyrrhines,
since they can lead very different life patterns, depending on the
habitat and the species.
The monkeys
Monkeys are intelligent, social animals.

Monkeys look like apes like chimpanzees, orangutans and

gorillas.

Monkeys differ from apes in many ways.

Monkeys also usually have a smaller chest than apes.

They are known for running and jumping from trees

with ease.

Almost all species live together in groups.
