Is it bad to have spiders in the house?
Bad? No.
Dangerous? Some are.
Spiders are not as harmful to humans as many insects. They tend not to land on, or spoil, food. They don't spread the diseases that many insects and other animals carry.
In fact, most spiders are beneficial to us - because they eat insects which are harmful to us.
As to "bad" - no, it is people who are "bad".
Yes they do - unless it's been chopped off in an accident !

Why do monkeys have opposable thumbs?
Yes, almost all primates have opposable thumbs used for grasping things, especially tree branches, and picking up things. Humans, apes, and most monkeys have this type of thumb.
Humans have more flexibility for manipulating small objects and they can move their thumbs across their hands much better and farther than any other primate giving humans the most dexterity of all primates.

Yes, Baboons can kill people. Because of their sharp teeth and ability to climb trees to do sneak attacks.

The best way is twofold. First, make certain there is ample habitat for these reptiles. Secondly, educate the general public. Many people kill snakes on sight, whether a dangerous species or not, and this practice must be stopped, as most snakes are beneficial to the environment by controlling rodent populations.

Put vinegar on the spots that he has used for the potty that you don't wont him to. Then when he has to go to the bathroom and you can tell; put him on the place where you want him to go. When he goes in the right place, praise him for doing the right thing and when he goes in the wrong spot say "no" loudly then leave him alone and don't praise him. Then he will soon learn that when he uses the bathroom in that certain spot it is good and when he goes somewhere else it is bad.
well, none that I know of, they are mostly brown.
There is a genus of "Blue Monkey" or as its called diademed monkey (Cercopithecus mitis). Its native to East Africa, upper Congo River area and places like Zambia and Angola.
The species has a blue colouring effect to hair on the face which in reality is olive or even a grey colour.
What country does the uakari monkey live in?

Ladybirds, or lady bugs, eat aphids. They are true bugs. ( The lady Bug, of course), meaning they are a type of beetle. They eat the same way all other beetle eat, by using their various mouth parts to stuff their prey into its jaws and then swallow.
A lot of things can hurt a monkey. If you break any monkey's bones, it will hurt it. If someone tries to shoot it or stab it, it will hurt it. Why would anyone try to hurt a precious, harmless, intelligent, smart, and a sensitive animal anyway?! Other things that can hurt a monkey is if it drinks alcohol, or any other bad chemicals. So, yes, things can hurt a monkey.
The Golden-bellied Capuchin (Cebus xanthosternos), also known as the Yellow-breasted or Buffy-headed Capuchin, is one of several Speciesof New_World_monkey.
Although there are differences between individuals as well as between the sexes and across age groups, C. xanthosternos is described as having a distinctive yellow to golden red chest, belly and upper arms. Its face is a light brown and its cap for which the Capuchin_monkeywere first named is a dark brown/black or light brown. Formerly thought to be a Subspeciesof Tufted_Capuchin(C. apella), it was elevated to the status of species. Despite this previous classification, C. xanthosternos does not have very evident tufts, as they are oriented towards the rear of the skull and are hardly noticeable. A band of short hair around the upper part of the face with speckled colouring contrasts with the darker surrounding areas. The limbs and tail are also darkly coloured.
Populations of C. xanthosternos are restricted to the Atlanticforest of south-eastern Bahia,Brazil, due possibly to high degrees of interference from man. Historically they probably would have inhabited the entire area east of, and north to, the São_Francisco_River.
Only 300 individuals survive
Who says that human person came from monkey?
No religions said that Human came from Apes.Evolutionary theory introduced by Darwin is null and void as the scientists had rejected the theory in the late 20th century.
Humans 'are' apes, sort of cousins to monkeys. We share a lot of DNA patterns with them and the obvious physical characteristics, too.
There is no such thing as 'a religion that says we came from monkeys'.
Only a scientific, evidence based explanation, bolstered by DNA technology which proves we are descended from ape-like creatures - which in fact we are... ape-like.
If there was a god and it wanted to design a Human, why did it make us look like bald apes?
The answer to that is that there is of course no such thing as a creator & no design.
Natural selection is the process by which variations compete for food/habitat etc. The successful ones survive & pass on their 'suitable' genes to the future. The unsuitable ones die out. This doesn't mean they're 'the fittest' or 'best' but merely that at the moment when certain environmental pressures were placed on them, they survived.
Sometimes it's more luck than judgment but most certainly not designed!
How have humans affected monkeys?
In the long run, the impact was extremely negative. Humans have always had a morbid fascination with chimps because they are so like us. Chimps were taken from Africa and presented as gifts to the royals of Europe only a few hundred years ago. They have long been used in the entertainment industry; they are routinely beaten in order to make them perform. Although they are fed and provided medical care, they are confined to zoos far away from the jungle habitats where they were born. They were sent to medical research labs to be injected with all sorts of diseases and toxins when it was discovered that we share almost 99% of our DNA, making chimps perfect human analogs. They were a staple research tool during the 1980s when the AIDS epidemic was raging. Chimps were injected with HIV tainted blood in the hopes that they would develop symptoms. They would then be injected with various medicinal cocktails to see if it would affect the disease. It was later discovered that AIDS doesn't affect them the same way as it does humans, so millions of dollars were wasted by the government in this area of research.
