Well, it depends on what kind of monkey you're talking about. There are two major types of monkeys: Old World monkeys (ones that are found in Africa and Asia), and New World monkeys (ones that are found in the so-called 'new world', that is, Southern Mexico, Central America, and South America. All of the New World monkeys are arboreal - they spend the majority of their time in trees. Some types of Old World monkeys do spend time terrestrially, however, especially patas monkeys, langur monkeys, baboons, drills/mandrills and so forth.
Terrestrial animals are those animals that live almost all of their life on land. An example of some terrestrial animals include, cats, ants, dogs, and giraffe.

Land animals are also called terrestrial animals, as opposed to sea organisms that are called marine organisms. Some animals are classified as terrestrial because they are predominantly on land, although they also live or hunt in the sea (e.g. penguins).
No, terrestrial animals do not respire with gills. Gills are respiratory organs found in aquatic animals that extract oxygen from water. Terrestrial animals typically respire using lungs or tracheal systems to extract oxygen from the air.
