When monkeys pick bugs off each other, it is called "social grooming." This behavior serves multiple purposes, including strengthening social bonds, reducing tension within the group, and helping to keep the animals clean by removing parasites and debris from their fur. Social grooming is common among many primate species and is an important aspect of their social interactions.
