5 Monkeys There are two major groups in which the types of monkeys are classified. They are the New World Primates and Old World Primates. The New World Primates include species from South and Central America and the Old World Primates include species from Asia and Africa. The monkeys from the New World Primates have tails which have the ability to hold things. On the other hand, the monkeys of the Old World Primates sometimes don't even have tails or if they have, they cannot do much with it. The Old World Primates have versatile thumbs, unlike New World Primates. These two primates groups come under the Simian group. Almost all types of monkeys are included in Simians.

6 Monkeys The New World Primates includes Marmosets, Tamarins, Capuchins, Squirrel Monkeys, Night Monkeys, Owl Monkeys, Douroucoulis, Titi, Sakis and Uakaris, Howler, Spider monkey, and Woolly Monkeys.

9 Monkeys Many species of monkeys live in groups called troops. Troops allow monkeys to protect themselves from predators, such as humans. In Africa, mandrills can live in troops of up to 45 monkeys. Mandrill troops are led by a dominant male, which has the brightest colors on his face--and alsoon his rear!

10 Monkeys Monkeys Threatened The greatest threat to monkeys is the loss of habitat. Often the building of roads and the logging of forests destroys the areas monkeys use as homes. Without places to live, monkeys are more vulnerable to predators, including human beings who hunt monkeys for food. By focusing on environmental education and preserving habitats as well as making laws to protect monkeys, species including the mandrills, brown spider monkey, and red colobus monkey, may be spared extinction.

11 Why I picked monkeys I picked monkeys because some are funny looking and some are cute looking. Also I think monkeys are cool animals and how they swing tree to tree. I also wanted to know more about monkeys and what they do.
