Monkeys

Monkeys make up two of the three groups of simian primates, Old World monkeys and New World monkeys. A monkey is any primate that is not a human, prosimian, or apes. With 96 species of Old World monkeys and 53 species of New world monkeys, you'll have a barrel of fun monkeying around in this category!

Are there any species of carnivorous monkeys or apes?

No. Like humans, all monkeys and apes are herbivores. The relatively newly discovered fact that some apes have begun killing and eating others apes does not make them carnivores.

If by carnivorous, meaning "only meat eating", then no. Most apes, while primarily feeding on vegetation, can also eat bugs and meat, i.e. omnivores by taxonomy. The greater question is are any apes (including homo sapiens) purely vegetarian? Gorillas are only known to eat vegetation, orangutans add insects to that diet, and chimps even kill and eat smaller mammals. While apes could survive on a purely vegetarian diet, their anatomies could not sustain a purely carnal diet.

The only exception:

There is one species of purely carnivorous primate. It's called a Tarsier.

They're categorized as a Haplorhine (new and old world monkeys, apes, and humans) though were previously categorized as Strepsirhines, (which are lemurs and lorises).

They are nocturnal by nature, and only live in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. By what you consider to be carniverous, they might not be, but by actual definition, because they only eat insects, frogs, and reptiles.

Is the monkey uni-cellular or multi-cellular?

All gorillas and primates are mammals, which are multicellular vertebrates.

Only some bacteria and algae are unicellular (one-celled).

A "silverback" is a name given to mature male gorillas whose back hairs have begun to turn gray.

What is combustation?

Combustion is an exothermic ('exo' means out- which occurs due to the release of energy) process in which burning of a fuel takes place by oxidation in the presence of oxygen (present in air). It is accompained by the release of energy (heat and light).

The following equation represents combustion :-

Fuel + Oxygen ------> Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy

(O2) (CO2) (H2O)

How many chromosomes do chimps have?

It depends on the species of monkey! There is considerable variety.

Here are a few monkey diploid chromosome numbers:

capuchin monkey 54

owl monkey male 49; female 50

red howler monkey 47, 48, or 49 (an unusual system!)

rhesus monkey 42

squirrel monkey 44

Do monkeys lay eggs?

No, the Spider Monkey is a mammal, and nearly all mammals give live birth. The only mammals that lay eggs are the platypus and the echidna.

Are Howler Monkeys omnivores?

Howler Monkeys eat leaves, buds, flowers, fruits, and nuts.

A monkey's name?

The collective names for a group of monkeys is troop and barrel. Groups of animals have their own collective noun, for example, a prickle of porcupines.

What is an essential substances made by all cells?

One essential substance made by all cells is ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which serves as a universal energy carrier for cellular processes. ATP is produced during cellular respiration in mitochondria and is essential for powering various cellular activities.

What eats chimpanzees?

Humans eat chimpanzees pie in some areas of the world, though this is illegal. Not much else has ever been observed eating chimpanzees. On rare occasions, chimps are cannibalistic, particularly after they kill an unrelated infant chimpanzee. Leopards probably eat chimpanzees when they (very rarely) get a chance--this is why chimpanzees sleep in nests up in the canopy.

Are monkeys omnivores?

It depends on the species of monkey. The majority of monkeys are herbivores, eating mostly fruit and seed, however there are a few species such as the squirrel monkeys that eat fruit, seeds and insects making them omnivores.

How much water is 0.25 liters If you wanted to drink that much water and you had a liquid measuring cup what would you fill it to PS 0.25 liters is 8 oz?

To measure 0.25 liters of water with a liquid measuring cup, you would fill it to the 8-ounce (oz) mark. This is because 1 liter is equivalent to about 33.8 fluid ounces, so 0.25 liters is approximately 8 oz. Fill the cup to the 8-oz line to have the correct amount for drinking 0.25 liters of water.

Does temp affect magnets?

Yes, temperature can affect the magnetic properties of a magnet. In general, magnets become weaker at higher temperatures and stronger at lower temperatures. Extreme temperatures can also cause permanent damage to the magnet's magnetic properties.

What is the smallest eagle in the world by weight?

The smallest eagle in the world by weight is the South Nicobar serpent eagle, which typically weighs around 450 grams (1 pound).

Are monkeys fat?

Just as with humans, pets, or any animals, the relative size of a monkey will depend upon its genetic makeup, its habitat, its food supply, and its level of activity. Some monkeys will be fatter than others. This can be good if the food supply regularly decreases. It can be bad if the habitat includes predators, because the fat monkeys will normally be slower as well.

What is the reproductive system of a monkey?

The reproductive system of a monkey is similar to that of other mammals. It includes organs such as the testes in males and the ovaries in females, as well as structures like the penis and vagina. Monkeys reproduce sexually through mating, leading to the fertilization of eggs by sperm.

What property of water explains why it can travel to the tops of trees?

Because of its polarity, water has the unique property of being able to creep up thin tubes. Plants in particular take advantage of this property, called capillary action, to get water from the ground. This is how water can reach the tops of trees. :D

Why do people have brains?

People have brains to control their body's functions, process information, make decisions, and experience emotions. The brain is essential for cognition, movement, speech, and regulating bodily functions such as heartbeat and breathing.

How did old world monkeys evolve from ancestral primates?

Old World monkeys are believed to have evolved from ancient primates that lived in Africa and Asia around 25 million years ago. Through a process of adaptation to their changing environments, these early primates eventually gave rise to the diverse group of monkeys we see today. Key evolutionary developments, such as the development of a more complex brain and improved mobility, played a crucial role in the evolution of Old World monkeys.

Why do monkeys fling faeces?

Monkeys may fling feces as a form of communication or to establish dominance within their social group. It can also be a way for them to mark their territory. In some cases, monkeys may feel threatened or stressed, leading them to exhibit this behavior.
