     This is a description about baby monkeys. There will be cute ones, ugly ones, small ones, and big ones. This page also has facts and interesting pictures about and of baby monkeys.

                                                                      This is a url of monkeys on trees or houses

     

 This type of monkey is orange because when the parents are TWO orange monkeys they have sex. So the baby becomes orange.

 

 

These two little baby monkeys have five fingers including the thumb.

     

 Monkeys eat bugs,plants and normally bananas.

There are 18 different monkeys that are on the endangered list from the Howler monkey to tree monkeys.

 

THESE ARE SOME FACTS ABOUT SPIDER MONKEYS. IT IS CALLED A SPIDER MONKEY BECAUSE THEY HAVE VERY LONG ARMS AND LEGS AND CLIMB LIKE A SPIDER AND EAT SPIDERS.

Type:

          Mammal

Diet:
Omnivore
Average life span in the wild:
22 years
Size:
14 to 26 in (35 to 66 cm)
Weight:
13.25 lbs (6 kg)
Group name:
Spider monkeys live in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America and occur as far north as Mexico. They have long, lanky arms and prehensile (gripping) tails that enable them to move gracefully from branch to branch and tree to tree. These nimble monkeys spend most of their time aloft, and maintain a powerful grip on branches even though they have no thumbs.
Troop females give birth to only a single baby every two to five years. Young monkeys depend completely on their mothers for about ten weeks, but after that time they begin to explore on their own and play amongst themselves. Mothers continue to care for their young for the first year of their lives, and often move about with their offspring clinging to their backs.

 

 

Here are some facts about baby monkeys:

          Monkeys are divided into two geographically separate groups - the new world monkeys of South Americ and the Old World monkeys, found in Africa and Asia.

The Old World monkeys include some earthy species such as the baboons, while New World monkeys are exclusively arboreal.

Some New World monkeys have a prehensile, or grasping, tail. The tail can be used like a hand.
