Monkeys

There are so many different types of monkeys in the world. Including proboscis monkeys, spider monkeys, and marmosets. One of my favorites is the spider monkey. Spider monkeys are omnivores, found in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America. A group of spider monkeys is called a troop, and they weigh just about 13 lbs. Their average lifespan is 22 years in the wild. Here you can see a spider monkey:



I also love proboscis monkeys. They are found only in Borneo, and are very hard to keep captive. The reason they are put in zoos is because it is very hard for proboscis monkeys to find leaves to eat, since the area where they live is mostly developed. There is estimated to be only a few thousand proboscis monkeys left in Borneo. Here you can see a proboscis monkey:
