Little monkey makes foam boat to eat fruit

Monkey is the common name of primates. Primates are the highest group in the animal kingdom. They eat fruit. Monkeys generally have a well-developed brain, with the eye sockets facing forward, the orbital space is narrow, the toes (fingers) of hands and feet are separated, the thumb is flexible, and most of them can hold with other toes (fingers).

Some characteristics of monkey species are similar. For example, many New World monkeys have curly tails, which can be used to grasp branches when they climb trees. On the contrary, Old World monkeys do not have curly tails, but have smaller nostrils. The distance between nostrils is also close. Some of the back has hard skin, just like an embedded seat cushion; Some people also have trichromatic vision like human beings; Others are two-color vision or monochrome vision. Although monkeys in the old and new world, like apes, have forward eyes, their faces are different; Each species of monkey has certain characteristics, such as the type of nose, jaw and hip. Therefore, if you want to understand monkeys, you must learn their different characteristics.

Monkey is a common name. Many primates are called monkeys. It is an order of Mammalia. It belongs to the highest group in the animal kingdom, and has a well-developed brain, including Protosimia and Simia. The prosimia has a fox like face; No cheek pouch and buttock callus; The forelimb is shorter than the hind limb; The thumb and big toe are developed and can be relative to other fingers (toes); The tail can be curled or absent. The ape suborder has a human like face; Most of them have cheek pouches and buttock calluses; Forelimbs are generally longer than hind limbs; Some big toes degenerate; The tail is long, some can curl, and some have no tail. According to regional distribution or nostril structure, apes can be divided into broad nosed monkey group, also known as New World monkeys; Narrow nosed monkey group, also known as Old World monkeys. This order includes about 51 genera and 180 species in 11 families, mainly distributed in warm regions of Asia, Africa and America, and most of them inhabit forest areas. The largest primate is the gorilla, weighing up to 275 kg, and the smallest primate is the bonobo, weighing only 70 g. The skull characteristics of the tree family are quite similar to some primitive primitive monkeys. Many anatomists and paleontologists once included it in primates, but its external morphology and ecological habits are very different from those of primates. Therefore, modern taxonomists have separated it into tree orders.
