well as you know i am funky monkey i am a 12 year old girl at the moment
Is there any monkeys that are legal in the UK?
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 there needs still have to be legal meet 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 weigh less than a apes?
It depends on the category. Some varieties of apes are less than 50 pounds and some are gigantic like the gorillas which weigh around 500 pounds.
Do monkeys get frightend by humans watching them at the zoo?
they are afraid of snakes and biger animals like bears
What animal is adapted to its habitat because of camouflage?
Many animals are adapted to there habitat by camouflage, one is the Camellia, it's skin can change to green or brown to hide in trees. Another animal is the beautiful tiger there stripes allow them to hide in the brush without being seen. There are many more animals but those are the two main camouflaged animals.
Types of monkeys beginning with a p?
Primate: noun: A member of the biologic order of animals of the chordate class Mammalia. The primate order includes lemurs, monkeys, apes, and humans.
Homo sapiens is the scientific name for modern humans. It means "wise man" in Latin. Homo sapiens first evolved about 195,000 years ago.
The five contenents are :
Australia
Africa
Europe
Asia
America
The Mono Titi monkeys, are the New World monkeys. The diet of the titis consists mainly of fruits, although they also eat leaves, flowers, insects, and birds.
Why does a monkey scratch itself?
they groom each other to keep themselves clean they aren't able to take 2 showers a day like most people so they need another way to stay clean :> Grooming involves removing potential parasites from the hair, untangling knots and is also used in courtship rituals.
Do squirrel monkeys make good pets?
Some people say: Monkeys are the best pets in the world!
However, a large number of people would argue that they do not make the best pets. Check out the related links for tidbits on pet monkeys.
Monkeys in general make very demanding pets. They may look adorable and seem like lots of fun, but you really have to put a lot of time and work into it, and you may be disappointed in what you get out of it.
In addition, when they become adults, they may become unpredictable and aggressive.
Could monkeys one day rule the world?
Let's look at the question, and the above given answer again shall we? Then we will analyse this thoroughly and we should come to a firm conclusion.
So
Q: Could Monkeys take over the world?
A: no. they can only survive either in jungles and hot climates. except of course, the Japanese snow monkeys which take the edge off winter by bathing in natural hot springs.
OK Now the facts.
The first point to make is that technically through evolution, we are direct descendants of early primates and as humans we have remarkable genetic similarities to that of a modern day Chimpanzee. Some people even display exact levels of intelligence and communication (although basic to human standards) and behave in much the same way as the Chimpanzee.
What I am getting at with the above point, is that monkeys (although very very indirectly, and through evolutionary methods) have already taken over the world. Better still, our own cruel ways have even managed to destroy mother Earth and strip it of all its beauty and resources and render many species of animal and plant extinct. As an additional bonus, we human beings have also mocked the modern day primates/ apes, and even pretty much rendered these poor creatures into a threatened status due to destruction of their natural habitat. In short we are killing our own direct ancestors and the key link between modern man and the ape.
Now the second part to this topic is fairly easy, and it concludes from the above paragraph.
In short mother nature has evolved humans into a powerful and highly adaptable weapon of destruction; meaning we have conquered almost every region on Earth and some even speculate that humans have been into space (although this is probably BS). OK so the point I am making is that if and when humans either die out from some kind of natural or self destructive phenomenon; something, depending on the cause of our downfall, must take our place.
As all marine wildlife is technically the oldest forms of life on Earth, they would have to evolve and breed at a massive rate to stand any chance of making a bid for the kingdom of Earth.
Birds, like all reptiles have managed to dominate the Earth at least twice that we know of; one of these being the atypical dinosaur that we are all familiar with. However, yet again; there is a reason why birds could be threatened, ad this is because of mammals. Foxes, bears, lions, tigers and MONKEYS are all mammals, and all of the fore-mentioned will kill and eat reptiles for the need to survive. Birds and reptiles will also need to develop a closer understanding and bond to humans as so they can pick up the pieces of what we left behind. Domestic pets like cats and dogs could in theory make use of our food resources and resort to natural scavenging to survive from what we left, but however; they cannot and have not been demonstrated to use complex thought or problem solving; and domestic pets that I know of, CANNOT USE TOOLS.
Now the juicy part.
Monkeys in my eyes WILL be next in line I think, and the reasons for this are plain to see; but this is depending on other variables. OK so for example if we killed all of the Monkeys' habitat and the Monkey became extinct or severely endangered at the point we died out, then obviously this is a no-go for the ape, and this question would have no need of even being asked in the first place.
However, on the pretext that humans suddenly vanished within the next year or so, then Monkeys could be the best candidates. The reason for this is simple...
Monkeys, and especially the conventional Chimpanzee, can and do have the ability to make and use tools. Chimpanzees have even been observed making and using spears and various other hand tools for catching and killing prey and getting at fruit on trees.
Monkeys are successful breeders and also their family hierarchical structures will ensure only the fittest and strongest will breed within their group; in addition to this, their levels of communication make them aware to their surroundings; meaning natural predators cannot get close to kill them because primates use a series of "noises and calls" to alert other members of a threat.
OK there was a point made in another answer that monkeys cannot survive the cold. Wrong!!! They can survive weather patterns within the United Kingdom, and this country is not regarded as part of their natural habitat, but at Monkey World, successful breeding patterns are in place, and as such the primates have been able to adapt to the climate. In any event, with the global mean temperature on the rise, anywhere North of Morocco will probably end up turning into wet tropical regions before the end of the next century, and this is for the record, monkey territory.
Providing the primates can adapt to use complex tools, and even deal with sourcing food reserves from buildings and dis-used shops and even from bins, and behind locked doors, then I see absolutely no reason why Monkeys will not take over the world in their direct form. For the record, Monkeys are not only powerful, but they have complex brain patterns and can actually learn at rates far superior to that of human beings. So in theory if taught, a Monkey could operate power tools, and an experiment was conducted where a Chimpanzee actually managed to perform basic pre-selected and set tasks on a conventional computer system.
VERDICT
I think personally, YES conventional modern Monkeys can and probably will take over the world... They might even do a better job at it than we did. Lets just hope a delinquent juvenile ape does not stumble across a nuclear missile launch site and for one reason or another, start a launch sequence that kills the world.
Who knows, they might even re-develop our systems, tools and methods and actually create something far more productive and ecologically friendly than the methods we humans swear by.
They bite but that's not all that serious considering the size of their mouths.
However monkeys carry certain diseases that can be very serious to humans.
They have claws sharper than that of a tigers', they are the most aggresive animal known to man, and because their jaws have 50 tons of force when they chomp down.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monkeys technically do not have 'claws' and the whole "50 tons of force when they chomp down." is a lie. You would have to be a buffoon (fool, idiot, stupid idiot, foolish stupid idiot, etc. etc. etc. :) to believe that. Monkeys ARE dangerous but chimps (chimpanzee) are even more dangerous. Monkeys have a strength greater than humans....so I wouldn't make it mad or it will turn your face black and blue(((:
Is it legal to own a pet capuchin monkey in Maryland?
YES....but depending on the species, and permits are required. Permits are issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife (www.myfwc.com click on licenses/permits for detailed info). FWC divides animals into 3 classes. Class I animals (lions, tigers, bears, chimpanzees elephants, etc) can not be kept as pets. They require 5 acres of land, experience, husbandry forms, contingency plans, insurance or bond, and a buffer zone for some species. Class II animals (macaques, cougars, lynx, serval, wolves/wolf-dog hybrid) can be kept for pets, but the following criteria must be met: 1) 2.5 acres of land, species specific caging, a husbandry form, emergency plan, 2 letters of recomendation(1 from other licesned person), and 1,000 hours of experience with the species or 100 hours and the taking of a test. Class III animals (squirrel monkeys, marmosets, tamarins, etc) don't require experience, but still require the husbandry form, and species specific caging. Capuchins, Howler and spider monkeys are the exception. Although they are considered class III, owners need to meet all of the class II requirements except the 2.5 acres of land.

They either stay in a group or are alone. Depends what species and if there is something wrong.
Is a monkey nocturnal or diurnal?
A chameleon is crepuscular because they come out in the day and at night.
Yes, chimpanzees gather in groups and hunt in an excited frenzy, howling, chasing rounding up, and eating smaller monkeys alive. Most are mainly herbivorous - that is they eat fruits and vegetables - but many will eat small birds, rodents, eggs, reptiles and, if they can catch them, monkeys of other species.
