Zoo Animals

Monkeys are highly diverse and intelligent primates found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. With over 260 species, they range in size from tiny pygmy marmosets to large baboons. Monkeys are known for their social behavior, playful nature, and dexterous hands that help them climb, forage, and interact with their environment.

Monkeys live in a wide variety of habitats, from dense rainforests to open savannas. Their diet varies widely depending on the species, including fruits, leaves, insects, and even small animals. Many monkeys are highly social, living in groups that communicate using vocalizations, facial expressions, and gestures.

Unfortunately, many monkey species are under threat due to deforestation, hunting, and the illegal pet trade. Conservation efforts focus on protecting their habitats, enforcing anti-poaching laws, and educating communities about the importance of preserving these fascinating creatures.
