General information about monkeys

– Scientific name: Cercopithecidae

– Many monkey species are tree-
dwelling, although there are species
that live primarily on the ground,
such as baboons.
– Most species are mainly active
during the day.
– Monkeys are generally considered
intelligent, especially the Old World
monkeys.
Multiple photos of the species
Current status of
the organism
1. Monkeys are broadly divided into Old
World species: 160 species, and New
World species: 174 species. So that's 334
species altogether!

2. The species is not endangered right

now.

3. The growth of a monkey depends on

the species. For example, at females they
grow faster and they are considered
teenagers before male are classified.
Habitat

Most monkeys live in the tropical rainforests

of Asia, Africa, and Central and South
America, or the savannas of Africa.
Monkeys move around their home range a
great deal. They travel daily to look for food.
They won’t stay in a nest for very long so
they don’t create anything elaborate. They
use their bodies to help them move rapidly
around looking for sources of food. As they
do so they spread seeds from plants, flowers,
and fruits. This enables their environment and
natural habitat to continue rejuvenating.
Adaptation to its environment

These monkeys use their strong arms

and legs to help them live happily high
in the treetops. They also have another
cool adaptation, a prehensile tail, or a
tail that can grab and hold things.
Many monkeys are considered semi-
terrestrial because they live on the
ground but can also dwell in the trees
if needed.
Reproductive
strategy
The optimal reproductive strategy of
a hypothetical male primate is
characterized by rapid sexual
maturation, followed by life-long
exclusive access to an unlimited
number of fertile females willing to
mate, and offspring survival should
be independent of paternal care.
Because the reproductive physiology
of male and female primates differs
(males produce sperm and cannot
gestate or lactate; females produce
eggs and gestate and lactate), males
and females differ with regard to
parental investment and sexual
selection strategies. Female
strategies, on the one hand, focus
on obtaining
Food chain

Their diet mainly consists of fruit,

leaves, seeds, flowers, and insects but
they may consume other small
animals. This places them partway up
the food chain, in the category
of secondary consumers. They have
many predators, especially the harpy
eagle.
Interesting facts about monkeys

1. They have a string and handy tail

2. The length od the monkey range is
from 140 to 160 mm
3. They eat anything that smells good
or bad
4. They are very sociable and have
friendly attitude towards humans
5. Monkeys are very loud, as you can
hear them from 1.6 km away
