Names can be decided according to species or breed you have. There are many species of monkeys that you can keep as pet. Some of them are:

Baboon has DNA that shows us that they are around 90% human and also we know that they eat, walk, and sleep almost like humans. This kind of monkey has around 90-pound weight which is normal and they are having a long nose. Baboon is in actual fact classifies as a monkey but most people mistake this type for an ape.

They have long arms, legs, and a long tail that they sometimes use as an extra limb. This genre of monkeys is most used in the laboratory for different kinds of experiments because their biology is some kind of similar to humans. There is another fact regarding spider monkeys that they have opposite thumbs as well.

Capuchin is also another kind of monkey and they are known as one of the tiniest monkeys in all species. Because of their fear of predators, they spend the majority of their time in hiding. The color of their body is creamy and they also have darker limbs.

This type of monkey gets its name from its resemblance to squirrels. They are vast in the tropical regions and people often see them. Squirrel monkeys are easy to adapt to any environment so they can live anywhere but they often live in canopies and trees. When it’s hard for them to find food in their specific area, they move from that place and find food for themselves.

Most monkeys eat seeds, flowers, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. They also eat meat and plant-based food because they are classified as omnivores. Monkeys eat insects, bird’s eggs, and lizards as well. It depends on the type of monkey when it’s come to the gestation period.

Baboons have a gestation period of about 6 months while the gestation for a rhesus monkey is around 5 and a half months. Chimps have a longer gestation period than the other two, it is about 8 months.

Female monkeys stop mating until when the conditions get better for pregnancy if there is no food to eat. Monkeys give birth once every two years even if their condition is normal. Some monkeys like Proboscis eat unripe fruits because of sugar in ripe fruit ferments. This fermentation is harmful to them, it causes bloating in proboscis monkeys which could kill them.

Monkeys have different types of species which have different types of characteristics that are in size, place, and color. The style of monkeys communicating that they do with each other shows us they are very vocal animals. When there is any kind of danger, they send off different pitches to other monkeys so they can be aware of the danger. Monkeys’ communication has been studied for a long time, but we still don’t know much about how they talk.

Monkeys have some kind of humanistic movement so that’s why they are known for being good caregivers to their young monkeys. They also have the ability to play games and use different types of tools like humans due to their large brains which makes them intelligent. Monkeys come in several shapes, sizes, and colors and they can be found all over the world, they usually live on trees and ground areas. As we know, humans and monkeys both have distinctive fingerprint sets.

Huge numbers of monkeys live in the tree and some kinds of monkeys live in mountain areas and savannas. Monkeys also try to find food so they don’t stay in one place, monkeys change their place continuously after every month or 2 months. There is always a leader in every monkey’s group who is strong than other monkeys and it has the responsibility to take care of all especially younger ones.

Some monkeys also live in snow, these monkeys thrive in cold temperature that dips as low as negative 15 degrees. Usually Japanese macaques are known as snow monkeys and photographs of them washing in hot pools to keep themselves warm in winters. In the 1950s they have learned the joy from humans of thermal baths.
