Get to know more closely: Characteristics and Habits of Monkeys!

 

Monkeys are one of life's most playful and creative creatures, and one of the scientists who dominate the world's rainforests. In biological classification, monkeys are divided into two main groups: Old World Monkeys (Asia and Africa) and New World Monkeys (South America). Although monkey species are extremely diverse, there are certain traits and habits that are common to most of these species.

General characteristics of monkeys:

1.         Simple body structure

Monkeys have long arms and legs and a very flexible body. This body structure allows them to move quickly through the trees in search of food.

2.         Brain development

Monkeys are known to have large and well-developed brains. This allows them to have a better level of understanding of other animals in their environment.

3.         Foresight

Monkeys' eyes face forward, allowing them to see objects and estimate distances.

4.         Competition and Competence

Monkeys are dexterous and know how to use their hands and feet. They can use some simple tools to help them find food.

5.         From the community

Most monkey species live in groups. This social structure can include clear checks and complex interactions between group members.

Monkey Features:

1.         Food gathering activities

Monkeys spend most of their time searching for food. They eat fruits, leaves, seeds and sometimes insects. Some monkey species also have special techniques for opening hard fruits.

2.         Play and learn

Play is important to the lives of monkeys, especially children. Play helps children develop the social, physical and mental skills they need to survive in their environment.

3.         Exchange goods

Monkeys use different types of communication, including facial expressions, sounds and gestures. This information helps maintain social bonds and also helps identify danger spots and food.

4.         Gender and social class behavior

Social hierarchy is common in monkey groups, with the group leader determining structure and rules. Sex can also be an important part of monkey social life.

5.         How to use these tools

Many monkey species show the ability to use simple tools. They can use sticks or stones to help them find food or solve some problems.

Monkeys, colorful and fascinating creatures, provide a deep insight into animal life. By studying the characteristics and behaviors of primates, we can better understand the complexity and uniqueness of the ecosystems in which they live.

Happy Monkey Day.
