501c3 Non-Profit Rescue and sanctuary in Texas
A Texas not-for-profit 501(c)3 entity, . Primates including Spider Monkeys and Squirrel Monkeys
Monkeys
are
haplorhine
primates
, a group generally possessing tails and consisting of about 260 known living
species
. There are two distinct lineages of monkeys:
New World Monkeys
and
catarrhines
.
Apes
emerged within the
catarrhines
with the
Old World monkeys
as a sister group, so
cladistically
they are monkeys as well. However, traditionally apes are not considered monkeys, rendering this grouping
paraphyletic
. The equivalent monophyletic clade are the
simians
. Many monkey species are tree-dwelling (
arboreal
), although there are species that live primarily on the ground, such as
baboons
. Most species are also active during the day (
diurnal
). Monkeys are generally
considered to be intelligent
, particularly
Old World monkeys
.
