Monkeys are fascinating primates known for their intelligence, social behavior, and agility.

They belong to the infraorder Simiiformes and can be


categorized into two main groups: New World monkeys, found in the Americas, and Old World monkeys, native to Africa and Asia.

New World monkeys, like capuchins and howler monkeys, often have prehensile tails that aid in climbing and foraging. They tend to be more
arboreal, living in trees, and are known for their diverse diets, which can include fruits, insects, and small animals.

Old World monkeys, such as baboons and macaques, are generally larger and have non-prehensile tails. They exhibit a wide range of behaviors
and adaptations, including complex social structures and communication methods. Many species thrive in varied environments, from savannas
to mountainous regions.

Monkeys are highly social animals, living in groups called troops. Their social interactions are crucial for survival, as they provide protection,
help in raising young, and facilitate foraging.

Due to their close genetic relationship to humans, monkeys have been studied extensively in research, particularly in understanding behavior,
cognition, and evolutionary biology. However, habitat loss and hunting pose significant threats to their populations, making conservation efforts
essential.
