The gestational time for a monkey or ape to carry a fetus in utero depends on the size of the animal. For a Rhesus money it is 164 days, a Patus monkey is 167 days and for a Macaque monkey is 180 days. For comparison, the human is pregnant for 266 days.

After birth, it again depends on the particular monkey. A spider monkey has a 226-232 day pregrancy. After birth, the baby is carried on the mothers chest. At about 5 months of age, the baby rides on the mother's back. They depend on her milk for 2 years. Between 24 and 50 months of age, the baby has been weaned from his mother and does not ride on her back any longer. They still stay close by while exploring the environment and learning by watching. Compare this to a squirrel monkey who is weaned at 6 months.

Depends what type of monkey as they differ greatly. The chimpanzee (a primate) has a gestation of 7-8 months though, while rhesus monkeys are pregnant for about 164 days.

Well monkeys are usually pregnant for a 7 months, but the smaller the monkey the less time ans the bigg, the longer. I hope that makes sense =) The gestation period of monkeys depends on their size. For instance, some monkeys may have a gestation period of 164 days before the baby monkey is born.The average gestation period for monkeys is seven months. However, the size of the monkey determines if the period will be less or more. Small monkeys take less time.
