Monkeys are clever, social animals. They are known for running and leaping through trees with ease.

There are about 200 species, or types, of monkey. Scientists divide them into two groups, Old World monkeys and New World monkeys. Old World monkeys include baboons, drills, mandrills, macaques, guenons, langurs, and colobus monkeys. Among the New World monkeys are marmosets, tamarins, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, squirrel monkeys, woolly monkeys, and capuchins.

Most monkey species are active mostly during the day. The owl monkeys are active at night. They are also called night monkeys. They are intelligent animals that are good at solving problems. Almost all types live together in groups. A monkey group commonly includes several related females, their young, and one or more males.

Most monkeys eat mainly plants. Different types eat fruits, flowers, seeds, shoots, roots, and leaves. Some types of monkey also eat birds’ eggs, insects, and other small animals.
