Hey Jammers! It's Monday, and you're in for a treat! We have some monkey madness for you guys!
Here are some fun facts about these wild animals:
"Monkeys are known to be highly intelligent and capable primates. There
are more than 260 known species of monkeys in the world. They are
classified into Old World (from Africa and Asia) and New World (South
American) monkeys.
One can easily identify Old and New World monkeys because Old World
monkeys don’t have prehensile tails. Monkeys range in size from the
Pygmy Marmoset, at 5–6 inches (15 cm) long from head to tail and 4–5 oz
(0.11 to 0.14 kg) in weight, to the male Mandrill, almost 3.3 ft (1
meter) long and weighing 77 pounds (35 kg). Most monkeys are
tree-dwellers but some live in grasslands. Monkey live in groups called
missions or tribes and have a strict hierarchy.
Monkeys eat a variety of foods, such as fruit, insects, flowers, leaves
and reptiles. Old World monkeys have special pouches in their cheek
where they can store food. Many species of monkeys are regarded as
highly intelligent and often kept as pets, used in science experiments
and some have been even sent to space." -www.livescience.com
