They are highly intelligent and social animals, with a wide range of species found across the world, from tropical rainforests to savannahs and mountains. Monkeys have diverse physical appearances, varying in size, coloration, and features depending on the species. They typically have grasping hands and feet, forward-facing eyes, and often exhibit complex social behaviors and communication skills. Monkeys are omnivorous, consuming a diet that includes fruits, leaves, seeds, insects, and sometimes small animals.
