- these include baboons, macaques, guenons, and their relatives.
- The cercopithecines have cheek pouches, in which they store food;
- The Old World monkeys are divided into two subfamilies: Cercopithecinae and Colobinae.
- Among the more unusual monkeys are the large and strikingly coloured African drills and mandrills, the proboscis monkey of Borneo, and the rare and bizarre snub-nosed monkeys of China and Vietnam.
- The graceful langurs include the hanuman, or sacred monkey, also of southern Asia.

- The macaques include the Barbary “ape” of North Africa and the Rock of Gibraltar—the only macaque outside Asia and the only wild monkey inhabiting any part of Europe today—and the rhesus monkey of the Indian subcontinent, which has been used considerably in medical research.

- Old World monkeys include many that are often seen in zoos, especially the beautifully coloured African guenons (e.g., mona, diana, white-nosed, green, vervet, and grivet monkeys), colobus, mangabeys, and the chiefly Asiatic macaques.
- Some Old World monkeys have been successfully naturalized in Gibraltar, France, Mauritius, Belau, and a few islands of the West Indies.
- Old World monkeys live throughout Africa, on the Red Sea coast of Arabia, and in Asia from Afghanistan to Japan and southeast to the islands of the Philippines, Celebes, Bacan, and Timor.
- Other New World monkeys include uakaris, sakis, and titis.
- Larger New World species include the acrobatic spider monkeys and the noisy howlers.
- and the inquisitive squirrel, woolly, and capuchin monkeys—all of which exhibit in marked degree the curiosity and cleverness ascribed to monkeys generally.
- Among the smaller New World forms that have endeared themselves to humans with their antics and their tamability are the alert marmosets, often tufted and colourfully arrayed,
- the range of a few species extends northward as far as southern Mexico or southward into northern Argentina.
- New World monkeys live primarily in tropical South America, especially the Amazon rainforests;

- No Old World monkeys have this ability, and macaques are nearly tailless.

- Some New World monkey species have prehensile tails capable of supporting the entire body weight or of grasping, for example, a proffered peanut.

- Indeed, in the hands of many species, the main divergence is between the index and middle fingers;
- None of the New World monkeys has such manual dexterity.
- Many Old World monkeys have thumbs that can be opposed to the other fingers and so can handle small objects precisely.
- We rewrote the code and added some features.
Now go build.

- New World monkeys lack these.
- Lenny is heading to Devconnect and @lens/ethglobal İstanbul
- Old World monkeys have hard, bare “sitting pads” (ischial callosities) on the buttocks;
- New World monkeys have broad noses with a wide septum separating outwardly directed nostrils, whereas Old World monkeys have narrow noses with a thin septum and downward-facing nostrils, as do apes and humans.
- As their taxonomic names suggest, New World (platyrrhine) and Old World (catarrhine) monkeys are distinguished by the form of the nose.
- The New World monkeys are the platyrrhines (“flat-nosed”), a group comprising five families.
- which is related to apes and humans, and together they are classified as catarrhines (meaning “downward-nosed” in Latin).
- Old World monkeys all belong to one family, Cercopithecidae,
- Monkeys are arranged into two main groups: Old World and New World.
- Old World monkeys versus New World monkeys
- others have a period several months long during which they experience no sexual cycles (anestrus).
- Some species breed all year round;

- in others, there appears to be little or no restriction.
- In some species, sexual activity is strictly confined to the period around ovulation (estrus);
- Like humans and apes, female monkeys nurse their young and have a menstrual cycle, albeit less copious.
- Males join new troops on maturity, and so they are unrelated to each other and somewhat antagonistic.
- Usually, but not universally, the females stay in the troop in which they were born and are thus closely related to each other.
- mandrills, most guenons, and most langurs) or several males (as in savannah baboons and macaques).
- Monkeys are highly social animals, and almost all live in troops consisting of several females with young and either a single male (as in hamadryas baboons,
- These experiments have had implications in redefining cultural behaviour.
