What are monkeys enemies?
The monkeys enemies are: big cats, tigers, jaguars and big snakes, which are pythons and boa constrictors . Sometimes apes kill the monkeys, which is sad, because they're cousins.

Is a howler monkey born alive or hatched from a egg?
Monkeys are mammals. The definition of a mammal is an animal which gives birth to live young and feeds them with milk. Monkeys are also our "cousins" genetically speaking - were you hatched from an egg? No, so neither is a monkey.
Who said that people came from monkeys?
According to the theory of evolution, originally proposed by Charles Darwin in his book "The Origin Of Species" human beings and monkeys are both descended from earlier primate species. Monkeys, according to this theory, would be more accurately described as our cousins, than as our ancestors. So actually, nobody has said that people come from monkeys. That would be a misrepresentation of evolutionary theory.
