Monkey: Intelligent and Adaptable Creatures
Monkeys are some of the most diverse and intelligent mammals, found in various habitats, from tropical rainforests to grasslands and steppe-edges. Old World monkeys, like baboons and macaques, and New World monkeys, like capuchins and howler monkeys, demonstrate remarkable adaptability to their environments.
Monkeys are social animals that live in groups, displaying complex behaviors and communication methods, including vocalizations, facial expressions, and gestures. Their diets vary greatly, including fruits, leaves, insects, and even small animals, depending on the species and habitat.
Unfortunately, many monkey species face threats from habitat loss, hunting, and the illegal pet trade. Conservation programs aim to protect their habitats and educate people about the ecological importance of these intelligent creatures.
