Product Information

Howler monkeys are the loudest of the monkeys, and in fact have one of the loudest calls of any mammal. Humans can hear a howler monkey’s call from up to three miles away. Needless to say a group of them challenging one another can become a real nuisance by a village. Old World monkeys fill their cheeks with food while scrounging and hold it until they find a safe place to eat. So if you see a monkey with puffed out cheeks, chances are they’re looking for a safe place to have lunch. Males also have larger canines, which they use for eating meat or often while fighting with other male monkeys. These larger teeth can appear fang-like when put on display to warn off an approaching opponent or potential threat.

There are a few exceptions to this rule, however, such as the baboon which lives on the ground in Africa. Monkeys living on the ground tend to be very fast or very large to compensate for the more dangerous living situation.The monkey is the ninth animal in the Chinese zodiac. People born under this sign are said to be intelligent, hardworking and optimistic. The most recent “Years of the Monkey” are 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, and the next one is in 2028. Monkeys have many facial expressions similar to humans, but they don’t mean the same thing! Grinning, yawning, and head bobbing may look cute but they’re actually aggressive body language!

The golden snub-nosed monkey is one of the most endangered primates in the world, with only around 2,000 individuals remaining in the wild.

The Gelada monkey is the only primate that is known to graze on grasses, like a cow. They have a special stomach that allows them to process the grass better than other species of primates. As this list of monkey facts is progressing, we are getting to know monkeys like never before. There are nocturnal night monkeys in South Africa that sleep a stunning 17 hours a day, choosing to be active for only the left over 7 hours of night. Good thing they’re in the trees and off the ground from predators!Females typically give birth to one or two offspring at a time. These baby monkeys are born completely furry and can open their eyes from day one. Monkeys often not only sleep high up in the trees, but do so while sitting straight up! The tail helps with balance, but there’s still some mystery as to how they can do this while asleep.

The included beanbag banana adds to the fun!Monkeys live in tropical and subtropical regions and are native to 3 different continents. They are native to tropical areas in Central and South America, Africa, Asia and New Guinea.

This distinctive ability to think and abstract makes them unique compared to most animals in the animal kingdom. They have been observed attempting to use tools similar to humans in some cases after viewing them (such as fishing spears). In Hinduism, the monkey god Hanuman is an important figure who is seen to represent wisdom, strength, courage, devotion, and self-discipline.
