Monkeys are amazing and intelligent creatures They
seem to be given an endless desire for fun and play
Many monkey species are excellent athletes
Always cheerful she amazed everyone with her extraordinary agility on the trees
They are just as impressive when moving on the ground as they are in the trees
These primates call many different environments their home
From tropical forests to hot springs covered in snow to scorching deserts
With approximately 260 species monkeys are a very diverse group of animals in terms of both appearance and size
They can weigh up to 35 kilograms or be as light as a bar of soap
The nature of monkeys is curiosity and deep thinking
When necessary they can become aggressive
They can sometimes be loud and harsh because it seems to be their natural instinct
Our primate relatives are full of personality and emotion
In many ways they are like a mirror reflecting human
nature making us both surprised and fond of them
This video takes you into the world of monkey royalty
Among the rest of the animal world monkeys are a unique group of animals
Often due to their amazing hairstyles
Their fur or hair is a distinguishing feature
Classify them as mammals
Another feature of this class is that the young are nourished with mother's milk
Within the class of mammals there are many different orders and the order of primates is one of them
This group includes dogs monkeys apes and humans
Primates have larger brains than most other mammals
In addition to their exceptional intelligence primates share many common traits such as hands and feet capable of grasping tightly
The thumb is opposable to the other fingers the nails are flat standing straight and usually gives birth to one or two offspring
Arthrosis and osteoarthritis are features that help primates move efficiently within their environments
From hanging from the tree to racing through the branches
Most non-human primate species live in tropical regions in South America Africa and Asia
In the group of primates there is a special subgroup called hominoids or simians
Some well-known hominoid species are divided into two main branches
The large enclosure includes gorillas chimpanzees bonobos and colobus monkeys
And the small garden includes sick monkeys and siamangs
Another human-like primate is a member of the family Sarcopithecidae commonly known as the old world monkeys
In addition the tropical regions of the Americas are home to another group of the superfamily Sibautiidae commonly known as New World monkeys
Old world monkeys and new world monkeys
The differences between Old World monkeys and New World monkeys are evident in many characteristics
Among them is the nose
New world monkeys have flat noses with round nostrils pointing outward
While old world monkeys have narrow noses with small downward-curving nostrils
The tail is also a clear distinguishing feature
Most monkeys in the world have prehensile tails which are very useful for life in the trees
While old world monkeys usually have non-prehensile tails or even no tails at all like the Barbary macaque
An outstanding example of the old world monkey's nose can be seen in the Bornean proboscis monkey
This species has a long and large nose
While the howler monkey has a long nose the snub-nosed monkey has a short and small nose
In addition feeding habits are also a factor that contributes to the difference
Old world monkeys such as baboons spend a lot of time foraging on the ground
Therefore they have beautifully shaped seats that are very convenient for sitting on hard terrains
Some species in this group also have cheek pouches
The part helps them store food when they are chased by the sand tiger
Conversely the new world monkeys mainly live in trees and do not need cheek pouches
Because they often feed in safe high places Monkeys are
found on all continents except Australia and Antarctica
With an astonishing variety of shapes colors and sizes
In the old world monkey group the largest monkey was Trell and the Mantrell monkey
Both lived in the western region of Central Africa
Male Mantrell monkeys can weigh more than 35 kg
But their main attraction is not their size
But it is the bright colors on the body especially the face to attract the female
On the other hand the world's smallest monkey is the
Mamosat lemur which lives in the western Amazon basin
These small monkeys weigh about 100 grams
and easily fit in the palm of a human hand
Old world monkeys tend to be larger
in size than new world monkeys
Mantrell's monkey is the second largest in this group
They live in savannah areas and rocky slopes
and the entirely dry regions of Africa and Arabia
One of the prominent species of marmosets is the Chagma monkey
It is famous for its love of sandboarding on the dunes of the Namibian desert
In the Ethiopian highlands known as the roof of Africa
the Gelada monkeys are the last remaining representatives
of ancient grass-eating primates
They prefer the high mountain meadows and in particular
they are the only monkey species that is entirely herbivorous
They have bright red chest patches and male monkeys
are often called blood-running heart monkeys
Not all of the old world monkeys live on the ground
Some species such as the langurs in the Indian subcontinent
Spending about half of its time in the trees it shows
remarkable climbing abilities at dizzying heights
Another candidate for the title of cutest
animal in the world is the mischievous monkey
Living in the high mountain forests of China Vietnam and Myanmar
With their thick fur they are perfectly adapted
With the harsh climate in the high mountains
In contrast the new world monkeys usually live
In low elevations in the tropical rainforest
in Mexico Central America and South America
The Diversity of New World Monkey Groups
In the new world monkey group the family Callitrichidae includes some of the
most primitive monkey species such as the Mamosat monkey and the Tamatin monkey
Some Tamatin monkey species have remarkable fur patterns
such as the Tamatin woolly monkey in northern Colombia
With their long white fur they look like a
rock star Emperor Tamarin
the emperor tamarin
It is famous for its impressive border dikes
Named after Emperor Vinheim the Heretic of Germany
They also have a special mustache
Another easily recognizable monkey species is the Uakari monkey
Bald Uakadi found in the Amazon region has
a red face that is often as if blushing
On the other hand the woolly monkey in the same
area has a thick coat of fur covering its entire body
They can stand upright for
short periods using their tails
to maintain balance Young monkeys are especially friendly
They are often seen together with other
monkey species such as capuchin monkeys
Capuchin monkeys are considered the smartest in the
new world monkey group Their
name comes from their hair
Like the hat of the Capuchin monks
They are known for their ability to use tools
to search for food
For example using stones to break open hard seeds
Their intelligent lively and mischievous nature
makes Capuchin monkeys very interesting to watch
Each habitat comes with its own unique
challenges Over millions of generations
monkeys have developed special problem-solving abilities and skills
To exist and develop in
the selected areas of ours
Arboreal monkeys which live
in trees are called canopy
monkeys and have long limbs
that help them move easily
with broad leaves
A typical example is Joffroy's marmoset
They use the famous hand-over-hand technique
It is called procreation to
move through the tree branches
Monkeys do not move by racing
through the tree branches
It will use all four legs to move
which is called the four-legged gait on the tree
Arboreal quadrupedalism
For the new world monkeys
the prehensile tail is
another important tool that
helps them move efficiently
the arboreal environment
Conversely old world monkeys usually do not have prehensile tails
but they have opposable thumbs
In contrast to the other fingers it
allows them to grip objects securely
Jumping is another remarkable swimming skill
in the world of monkeys
Small monkeys often jump
Like marmosets squirrel monkeys rarely
weigh more than 10 kg
However larger monkeys
Like the proboscis monkey
which can weigh more than 20 kg
they are not afraid to break
the weight limit when jumping
The ability to accurately judge
distance is extremely important for
monkeys With their eyes facing forward
located at the front of the face
They have excellent vision
which helps them locate objects and estimate distances
However a challenge for the animal living in the dense forest
It is a dense vegetation which
often makes the monkeys unable to
see each other But that's okay they
have a solution for this problem
Use sound to communicate
Monkeys emit special calls
to communicate with members of their group
They are called troops
Among them the howler monkey is known for
having the loudest call
Among the animals on the dock
The sound of them
can be heard up to 5 km away
The male of this species
It has a large vocal organ and a specialized resonance
chamber allowing their calls
to carry far and be powerful
These calls are
not only meant
to warn other groups to stay
away from their territory but
also serve as an alarm signal
Warn group members to
be cautious of dangers
Threats come from many
predatory animals such as
Hunting prey snakes crocodiles
and leopards
To avoid these dangers
monkeys have some choices
Hide or use your speed
and agility to escape
Ground-dwelling monkeys such as baboons face
an entirely different set
of survival challenges
Life underground is much more
dangerous The dominant
males are larger
and more aggressive with large sharp
teeth equivalent to those of lions
of a lion
The monkey families that
gather to eat on the vast
grasslands seem to be
clear targets for predators
However the large number of members in the group
is an advantage that helps
them protect themselves
Monkeys and dogs are not always
in an aggressive state They
also maintain a unique symbiotic
relationship with elephants
In Kenya Olyph baboons and
elephants have established a
long-term mutualistic relationship
where both species benefit
They all benefit
When the elephant digs a hole to find water to drink
this also creates an opportunity
for the monkey to cool off elsewhere
In return these monkeys act as
tree guards warning
the elephants
One of the rare skills that some
monkey species possess is the
ability to use tools The capuchin
monkeys have discovered tha
Stone is a great tool
to break open hard seeds
Some monkeys also choose
sticks to catch insects
However not all tools work as expected
And sometimes the
prey does not cooperate
It caused the monkey's efforts to fail
Creativity in the institute
is the ability to use tools combined with the ability to communicate over long distances
With the skills of climbing trees and
moving on the ground monkeys are able
to successfully survive in their daily
lives In the timeline of evolution
On Earth the primate species
including monkeys are
newcomers to the evolutionary
game Fossil evidence shows
They appeared around 55 to 50 million years ago
The first primate-like animals
were called prosimians
These ancient creatures had
a squirrel-like shape and
looked similar to modern
squirrels Scientists believe tha
Monkeys split into two
separate branches old world
monkeys and new world monkeys
about 40 million years ago
During this period the continental laws
were still in the
process of moving At that time Africa and
South America were closer together
It is much different from today
A leading hypothesis
explains how monkeys reached the Americas
suggesting that primates
In Africa they migrated across
the ocean by clinging to large
floating plant mats that drifted
on the sea The Amazon river basin
Then it seemed to become
a repository for primate
biodiversity When the climate
conditions were favorable
New species are appearing and spreading
Finding more
fossil evidence
is the key to clarifying
The evolution of the monkey species
Because their history
is also our history
This may lead to
More important discoveries about
the origin of the human race
Like all primates
monkeys are highly social
animals This is central
to many shared behaviors
but they share
Most monkey species
live in large groups
called troops
Gelada monkeys hold the record
They are the largest group with
some groups reaching up to 1200
members These large communities
are usually divided into groups
smaller called the rear harams Each group
is led by one and
includes about 12 females
With their young children
The monkeys enjoy this conversation
They spend many hours communicating
And building relationships with each other
Living in a large group brings
many benefits Surely there are
many members who are willing to
remove parasites from each other
However the most important role of
running a successful campaign is not cleaning up but strengthening the
general relationship within the group
In addition the group
provides safety The young
ones can play freely
because they know that
They are not only protected by the mother 's
trap but also trap the
entire group When they grow older they participate
in the running and hiding activities
and combat training develop
the physical and social skills
necessary for
adult life In any
large family it is unavoidable
conflicts
Frequent brutal battles often occur
in groups with a single dominant male
when the males fight for the females
If a male loses its perch the
bright red chest patch that
usually symbolizes dominance
will fade within a few months
Chagma monkeys live in smaller groups and have a different
social structure Instead of a
hierarchy their
society is organized
In a strict hierarchy an
alpha male dominates the
group with other males
and females in lower ranks
The baboons living in
the savannah also face
unique challenges They
often have to cross
seasonal wetlands
Adapting to this environment
takes a little time
However these spreadings
There is plenty of food and the delicious
-looking gun nests
seem worth the wet feet
Some monkey species have taken living in aquatic environments
to a new level The famous snow
monkeys in Japan
are also known as
Japanese macaques can
spend hours soaking
in natural hot springs
The hot springs mainta
At a temperature of 40 degrees
Celsius while the outside temperature
can drop below minus 15 degrees
Celsius Although these hot springs
Provide comfort but they
are not essential for the
monkey to survive Their double
-layered fur is sufficient
To help them survive the harsh winter
For this reason researchers believe that
their bathing habits
It is likely a form
of flattery driven
by comfort and social relationships
Additionally it is believed
that like humans these
monkeys use time spent
soaking to reduce stress
However there is a notable
difference between them and us The
maki monkeys also drink the
water from their bathing mouths
Not all monkey groups are
led by males In spider
monkey groups the females
are the ones in charge
They made an important
decision about where to find food and the
size of the group
Usually spider monkey groups
have about 35 members During
the day they split into smaller
groups to forage for food
It is led by a dominant
female If food
is abundant
this female will allow
the group to grow larger
On the other hand when
food is scarce they split
into smaller groups to
make it easier to find food
Resource competition is one
of the main reasons why monkeys
defend their territory not
only against their own kind
but also other species
A typical example
is the competition between capuchin monkeys
and spider monkeys
Spider monkeys are much
larger and not easily convinced
to leave However capuchin
monkeys with sharp tee
and perseverance often wins in
these confrontations
Throughout many
generations monkeys around the
world have developed social rules
and strict behavior
ensure that our complex
community can thrive
Like most animal species
There are other animals
that give birth to live
young The mothers care for their young with love
taking primary responsibility
for raising their offspring
Adult offspring often
nurse their young with
breast milk for up to five
years Some monkey species
Like the Japanese macaque it
has a mating system that is
polygamous meaning females can mate with multiple males
With many males available during the breeding season
Close relationships
between mother monkeys and their offspring
are not just emotional
It also helps keep both warm
during the cold seasons In
Southeast Asia
the Dusky Leaf
monkey has a mating system
Only large and strong males are
allowed to mate with multiple
females Their young have particularly bright and distinctive colors
In contrast to their parents they are usually bright orange
Experts believe
this bright color helps
protect the monkey infants from predators in the environment
Because many animals
cannot distinguish between orange and green
After 6
months their color will change
Become identical to their parents
In the new world monkey group
males are considered
the oldest fathers
When a female tamarin monkey does not
allow the male to care for the infants the male often becomes deeply involved in the care of the young
A unique characteristic of tamarin monkeys is
Female marmosets often give birth to twins rather than
just one offspring as is the
case with many other species
Perhaps that is why the male is willing to share the responsibility
of caring for the young In another
notable example the
proboscis monkey
The proboscis monkey
The male's large nose is not
only used to attract females
but also serves as a resonating chamber
Help to mask their loud
cries making their calls
more powerful and threatening
to their opponents
Monkeys are omnivores consuming
both plants and animals These
tropical rainforests provide
a rich food source for them
Includes flowers seeds fruits bird eggs and insects
With a highly developed brain
monkeys are able to create
The food maps in their minds
help them remember the locations
and the time when the fruits
ripen Some monkey species such as
Capuchin monkeys really
like fruit but don't
want to share even
with family members However
They often leave excess samples
for other animals such
as wild boars and water rats The species
that frequently follow the larvae
The monkeys were searching
for leftover food Some monkey
species that eat leaves such
as the red colobus monkey
They have a protruding stomach
that helps digest tough leaves
Their unusually long intestines
allow for nutrient absorption
From this high-fiber diet
Some primates in Southeast Asia such as long-
tailed macaques have the
habit of diving into water
To hunt for corn crabs and other crustaceans
A unique characteristic
in their diet
Monkeys play an important role
our ecosystem
The activities of these special organisms
not only pollinate the flowers
but also disperse the seeds
They contribute to the diversity
and regeneration of the forest
They are both predators and prey
keeping the numbers in balance
All species in the food chain
are in balance A fundamental
factor in maintaining a healthy
ecosystem Monkeys
have long been
The inspiration of
many cultures around the world They
are revered in Hindu legends
as the monkey god Hanuman
The symbol of strength unwavering
dedication and commitment
In ancient Egypt
the Hamadryas baboon was considered a sacred animal
representing the god Thoth
The god of wisdom and the moon
In Chinese culture
the year of the monkey is a good time
to have a child because people believe that
Children born this year
will have a successful
and promising life
However nowadays monkeys
Facing many serious threats such as
deforestation hunting
and wildlife trade
About 43% of primate
species are currently in a
critically endangered or
seriously threatened state
Efforts to conserve are being
made with some success such as the
recovery of the golden lion tamarin
population from 200 individuals
Rising to about 2 500 individuals
Monkeys are not only a symbol of
intelligence and problem-solving
ability but also a saying that
helps us understand more clearly
On evolutionary courtesy and the
relationship between humans and
nature Protecting monkeys is not
only about protecting animal species
but also protecting the future of this planet
