  3. Monkeys - Diet and Habitat • Monkeys are omnivores so they eat leaves, berries, nuts, fruit, roots, insects, spiders, lizards and herbs. Some monkeys diet is so large they can eat over 200 different foods a year. Some even eatdirt. • Monkeys live in trees, grasslands, mountains, forests, and on high plains as well as in zoos. Monkeys live in Europe (only one specie), Asia, South America and Africa.

  4. Behaviour • It is recommended not to look a monkey in the eye for more than 4 seconds. • Monkeys can have short periods of anger. They show anger by grinding their teeth. • Like humans, monkeys use vocalisations, facial expressions, and body movements to communicate.

  5. Reproduction and looks • Monkeys reproduce like a human – live babies and the parents care for it. The male and female get together. • Monkeys are hairy with tails. They come in different heights and colours depending on the species.

  6. Dangers in life • Monkey’s real danger, and most other animal’s real danger is us. Most of the big jungle cats—leopards, jaguars and cougars—will catch and eat monkeys whenever they get a chance. • In addition, almost every jungle or rain forest where monkeys live is also home to a species of eagle that likes to eat monkeys. • Big snakes such as pythons and boa constrictors kill and eat monkeys, and so do crocodiles and caimans. • Even chimps—which are an ape and not a monkey—sometimes catch, kill and eat small monkeys.

  7. Facts on monkeys • There are 264 known Monkey species. The smallest Monkeys are about 6 inches long and 4 ounces. The largest ones can be up to 3 feet long and weigh up to 77 pounds. • Monkeys live for about 15-45+ years depending on the species. • Monkeys live in groups, known as troops, and travel together to find food. • You are able to have a monkey as a pet but they need a lot of care and attention.

  8. Monkeys • When a monkey yawns that means that either he is tired or he is mad at something. • Monkeys are most easily distinguished from apes by their tails. Apes have no tails.
