Some monkeys live for more than 20 years, while others live for more than 30 years. The oldest monkey lived 150 years old.
There are many kinds of monkeys, including macaques, lazy monkeys, spider monkeys, colobus monkeys, langurs, red-faced monkeys, baboons, mandrills, golden monkeys and langurs. Macaques live in tropical forests in Asia and Africa, and are also produced in Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang and other places in China. Most of them live in the forest by the river, live in trees and live in groups. In addition to the face, auricles, palms, claws and arms, macaques are densely covered with yellow fine hairs, with their eyes facing forward and their nostrils close together. Macaques can grasp things with their hands and feet, which is adapted to the life of climbing and jumping in trees. When they get down to the ground, they often walk on all fours, and sometimes they can walk upright with their hind legs. The shape and number of teeth are similar to those of people. They eat fruits and seeds, as well as eggs and insects. There is a pouch on each side of the mouth. If you don't have time to chew the food in your mouth, you will temporarily store it in your cheek pouch, and then chew and swallow it in your spare time. Macaque's brain is very developed. It covers other parts of the brain and has many grooves on its surface, so the surface area of the brain has increased a lot. Because the brain is developed, the behavior of macaques is very complicated, and their memory and imitation are very strong. Circus often trains macaques to perform various movements. Monkeys are primates, many of which are similar to humans, and their intelligence is second only to humans and apes. Its brain structure is also very similar to that of people. There are more than 100 kinds of monkeys. The smallest monkey in the world lives in Ecuador, Brazil and Peru, and is called "bonobo". This kind of monkey even has a tail of only 30 cm, accounting for half. They eat flies, mosquitoes, spiders and moths, so they are also called insect-eating monkeys. The largest monkey in the world is the African baboon, with a height of 90 cm to 1 m and a weight of over 50 kg. The most precious monkey in the world is the golden monkey in China. It has a blue face, a blue nose, nostrils facing the sky, and golden hair on its shoulders. Wild monkeys like to live in groups. A strong male monkey acts as the "monkey king" to command the whole group, and other male monkeys act as "guardians" to defend the mother and young monkeys. For example, when baboons are looking for food and water, they all act in groups, and the "vanguard" composed of the strongest and bravest male monkeys leads the way. In case of lions or other enemies, "Depth Charge" rushed to fight, and the baboons in the surrounding trees shouted for help. Monkeys in Emei Mountain also "grab the road", which makes tourists laugh and cry. You can train monkeys to play monkey tricks, perform acrobatics and help people do things. Monkeys trained in Malaysia can climb to a coconut tree more than 20 meters high to pick coconuts, and a monkey can pick more than 1000 a day. Monkeys trained by the British can ride horses and herd sheep. Japanese veterinarians use monkeys as assistants to help doctors operate on animals. Americans train monkeys to babysit quadriplegic people.
