You can teach chimps to communicate using sign-language, but monkeys in general can speak like us no more then we can sing like birds.
The larynx of monkeys is not as derived as ours which prevents them from producing the same variety of sounds as we do. Their soft palate, hyoid bone, and tongue flexibility also inhibits them. There are genetic and cognitive factors as well: try researching literature on the FOXP2 gene.
animal noises, in the movies Tarzan"s monkey friends do not speak English. Cartoons, that is another matter. I am not that familliar with Tarzan cartoons. In that sense, at least, they were realistic- animals can"t talk, with the exception of Parrots.
Monkeys are smart, good- looking, fun and cute. Look at the picture above
Is it bad if your rabbit can't walk probally?
well, have you tried looking in to its mouth? sometimes rabbits teeth can grow very long and dig in to the rabbits mouth when it is trying to eat, therefore making it painful for them and stopping them to be able to indulge their food. if your rabbit does happen to have long teeth when you look in to its mouth i would advise you to take it to the vets as soon as possible or, i don't like to say it, however the rabbit could die.
Is it illegal to keep a pet monkey in the UK?
According to the 'monkey sanctuary' "it is still legal to keep monkeys as pets in the UK and the Trust has now launched a campaign to put an end to the primate-pet trade in this country".
Most Monkey species need a Dangerous wild animal license to own. A license can only be granted by your local authority and the minimum age is 18. Some species do not need a license, but their needs still have to be legally met under the animal welfare act.
Monkeys are not pets, they are intelligent, unpredictable and social (most species) animals and are difficult and expensive to look after. Unless you can keep them in top quality zoo conditions, including indoor and outdoor enclosures, enclosure designs, maintaining and controlling social groups, nutrition, evacuation procedures in emergencies, procedures in case of escape, ext, then you shouldn't own one.

Do monkeys have an amniotic membrane?
No, only mammals which develop inside the mother's womb depend on a placenta for their growth, and therefore have an umbilical cord. (There is no umbilical cord involved in the development of those few mammals who lay eggs or whose babies develop in the mother's pouch.) Since birds are hatched from eggs, no placenta-umbilical cord mechanism is involved. Most of a fetal bird's development takes place outside its mother's body, in the egg.
How does a monkey survive in the wild?

Sillypinkjade say's:
ECOLOGY:
The woolly spider monkey is primarily a folivorous species, but also consumes fruit, seeds, flowers, nectar, pollen, bark, bamboo, and ferns. It prefers to eat fruits which are more ripe. Leaves are eaten for bulk and protein, and the woolly spider monkey prefers immature leaves over mature ones (Kinzey, 1997). Strier (1992b) suggests that folivory is a result of seasonal fruit shortages and the woolly spider monkey needs to eat leaves to survive. Group size for this species is between 15 to 25 individuals.
"Just giving info to what you don't know" ;) ps. please trust...

Yes. Skunks are mammals, and mammals have bones. Feel free to improve this answer! :)
What is the name of the monkey with the colorful bottoms?
Vervets have a sky blue scrotum, and Rhesus macaques and mandrills have red buttocks. www.petmonkeyinfo.com for more info on monkeys.
When did the first monkey go to space?
Gordo, also known as "Old Reliable", was launched from Cape Canaveral on December 13, 1958 in the U.S. Jupiter AM-13 rocket.
A study done in the 1920s found that Chimps were four times stronger than able-bodied college football players. The 2009 research paper "The Strength of Great Apes and the Speed of Humans" by Prof. Alan Walker writes:
"Bauman (1923, 1926) showed that adult male and female chimpanzees held long in captivity were much stronger than any of several fit young football players when normalized for body mass. He had the animals (when they felt like it) and the students pull on a calibrated metal loop dynamometer. The female recorded a two-handed pull of 1,260 pounds,while the male recorded a one-handed pull of 847 pounds. The strongest student managed a one-handed pull of 210 pounds and a two-handed pull of 491 pounds. When normalized for body mass, this meant that the chimpanzees were more than four times as strong as the men."
Prof. Walker theorizes that the reason Chimps are so much strong is because they have less grey matter in their spinal cord, meaning there are less muscle neurons to activate small muscle groups. On top of that, they do not have the types of biological limiters that humans have because they do not have as many fine motor control muscles to protect. This ultimately means that they can access larger sections of muscle at once.
Gorillas are probably twice as strong as Chimps. I've seen estimates of them being eight to nine times stronger than humans. I couldn't even begin to imagine what it would be like to be that strong.
Although, man and monkey share the same ancestry, they are actually very different. Humans have evolved from the ape family, which includes gorilla, chimpanzees and orangutans. However, monkeys belong to a different suborder altogether. Monkeys are often divided into two broad categories: Old World monkey or a New World monkey.
Because they are special as are all of God's creations. Also, if you don't protect them, they could come endangered and then there's always the possibility of extinction. You should protect all animals. :)
Yes, of course. Monkeys need to eat in order to survive or else they will die. Monkey's favorite food is bananas. :)
What are the 7 levels of classification for monkeys?
There are many different species of monkeys (simian primates), each with its unique 7-level classification. For example, for the olive baboon:
Kingodm: Animalia (animals)
Phylum: Chordata (hollow dorsal notochord)
Class: Mammalia (mammals)
Order: Primates
Family: Cercopithecidae (old world monkeys)
Genus: Papio (baboons)
Species: Papio Anubis (olive baboons)
Can you hold sea monkeys in your hand?
hi no you can not hold sea monkeys they would die because its just like holding a fish it would die because it needs water to live.
Spiders kill many small insects. If there were no spiders, the number of these insect verities would go unchecked and the ecosystem would fail. The plant eating bugs would eat all of the plants, and bugs like the mosquito would be in much greater numbers.
Spiders are pretty important. But most creatures have an important role to fulfill.
Bush babies (or galagos) are found in forests and woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa.
What is the monkey called with the pink butt?
I need TP for my bung hole. Corn holio Sorry but that looks like abuse to me. The real answer is: Among others, the Japanese Macaque (Macaca fuscata)
Common Names: Snow Monkey, Nihon zaru
Weight: 8 to 13 kilos.
Body Length: 45" to 55"
Prehensile Tail Length: 7" to 9"
Average Lifespan: 25 to 30 years.
Native to: Northern Japan.
Breeding: October - December.
Sexual Maturity: Female; 2 to 3 years. Male; 4 to 5 years.
Gestation Period: around 170 days.
No. of Offspring: 1
Diet: Shoots, Leaves, Insects, Fruit, Nuts - depending on season.
Japanese Macaques live in areas where the temperature is an average of -10ºC. The older a Japanese Macaque becomes the more red its face and bottom become. Groups of Japanese Macaques are primarily formed by adult females, there are roughly three times the number of adult females than there are adult males and young. Females tend to stay within their group their entire lives, but the males will often leave the group for another before sexual maturity. Males tend to be a little larger and heavier than the females
Are howler monkeys endangered?
Spider monkeys are endangered because humans are cutting down trees from the rainforests at a rate of a football field every day, and the monkeys are having trouble finding suitable places to live.
Like most animals, they are subject to hunting by humans as food, capture as pets, and the destruction of their rainforest habitat by human development.
Primates like the spider monkey bear comparatively small numbers of young, and can suffer dramatic reduction in their populations over a relatively short period of years.
