Why is it dangerous to go into the sun without any protection?
In short, sunlight is made of light waves. These light waves are of various energies. The small band of energy we can see is called the visible spectrum. These waves are not dangerous to us. There are light waves that are slightly higher in energy these are known as Ultra Violet(UV) rays. These rays contain enough energy to penetrate your skin cells and cause damage to your DNA. This damage can lead to serious side effects such as skin cancer if you body is unable to properly repair the damage. Luckily the vast majority of the time your body is able to repair the damage through a number of highly complex DNA repair mechanisms.
The Bale Monkey, or djam-djam, has a decreasing population - mostly due to loss and degradation of suitable habitat. As a result, they are listed as "Vulnerable" in the IUCN Red List (one step below Endangered). As of yet, however, there is a lack of formal data about the species' population and distribution, but a research papers suggest the population was less than 5000 in 2010.

Why do monkeys and apes and humans have color vision?
They have color vision because their eyes are comprised of the same components as humans. Human and Chimp eyes have a system of rod and cone cells that detect light and color, which are then sent to the visual centers in the back of the brain.
Why do you suppose there are more monkey than ape species?
Long and complicated answer to this, but I'll try to make it short.
Originally there were more species of ape, however the monkeys were quicker and more rapidly adapting to their environment, and out-competed the apes. This caused apes to change their shoulder joints in order to hang beneath the branches rather than run along the top of them so that they filled a different 'niche', they also shifted their distribution range to Asia (African apes migrated back to Africa after becoming apes in Asia, rather than evolved from African monkeys). Monkeys are also smaller (therefore need less to eat, meaning less territory to travel over), live in large groups, have shorter gestation periods...
In short, the monkeys out-competed the majority of the species of ape.
Second answer
Apes are descended from monkeys. Monkeys are primarily arboreal, meaning they live their lives in the trees. Apes are part-terrestrial-part-arboreal, meaning they spend the day on the ground and the nights in the trees. Terrestrial animals require large territories in which they can roam to find food. The availability of food sources therefore affects where they can live. Only a few areas are able to support apes, while all monkeys need are plenty of trees. A good comparison would be between the myriad species of birds and the small handful of large flightless birds, such as Ostriches.

What spider has four legs to huge pinchers and an abdomen like a stinger?
The cat-faced spider (Araneus gemmoides) may be described as having a large abdomen with four pin-sized holes.
The spider is harmless. It is called cat-faced because of the patterning of the dimples, holes or indentations on its abdomen. The pattern often is interpreted as reminiscent of the eyes and ears of a cat.
Not except in the same sense that modern humans are monkeys.
The phrase "cavemen" doesn't really have a precise biological definition, but it's usually used to mean "primitive humans". Sometimes it's stretched a bit, and might be used to refer to any species in the genus Homo, or possibly even genus Australopithecus, but none of these would be classified by biologists as "monkeys".
In fact, they're more closely related to us than gorillas are, and even gorillas aren't monkeys... they're apes (humans are, biologically speaking, part of the same family as chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans... the hominidae, or "great apes")
Can you legally own a pet monkey in Amarillo Texas?
Some species are illegal, some aren't. A few species that you can own are Capuchins, Squirrel Monkeys, Tamarins, and Marmosets. They are the smaller kind though. There are many pet monkey owners in Texas. But monkeys cost A LOT of money and can be very destructive and messy. They cannot be trained or housebroken, even if they spent their life in captivity. If you want to buy a monkey, you have to be able to stay home at all times, and give it lots and lots of care.
