You've probably heard of monkeys, but did you know that some species have tails? That's a surprising fact, considering that apes don't have tails at all. Some of them also have forward-facing eyes, which give them good depth perception - useful for jumping through trees. And while monkeys are not domesticated, they do give birth to live young and feed them with milk from their mammary glands. And despite being relatively small, monkeys are very intelligent animals that live in groups, displaying complex social behavior. Some of the most fascinating facts about monkeys involve their ability to use money. Many species, such as chimpanzees and macaques, use their hands for more than just gripping items. In fact, colobus monkeys are the only known species of monkeys to have opposable thumbs, which allow them to grasp objects using their pincer grip. But many species of New World monkeys lack opposable thumbs. Monkeys are found in both the Old and New World. Some species live in the Old World, including baboons, macaques, and guenons. While the New World is a vastly different place, there are some distinct monkey species that live in Central and South America. And though apes are not considered monkeys, they belong to the simian primate group. This means that monkeys from different regions have distinct characteristics and behavior.
