Monkeys are playful primates that bring joy wherever they swing! These fascinating creatures belong to the family Cebidae and can be found in Africa, where they swing through trees and explore their environment with curious eyes.
Monkeys average 15 to 23 inches tall, making them perfect for hopping between branches. Their size helps them move quickly and nimbly through the canopy, capturing both food and fun.
These dietary dynamos enjoy a big buffet! Monkeys love to munch on fruits, leaves, seeds, and even insects, making every meal an adventure for their taste buds.
Monkeys can live for an impressive 25 to 30 years, allowing them plenty of time for mischief and play. With their long lifespans, they can form tight bonds with family members and friends in their troops.
