Monkeys play daily

Monkey is a common name. Many primates are called monkeys. Primates is an order of Mammalia, which belongs to the highest group of animal kingdom, and has developed brains; The orbit faces forward with narrow orbital space; The toes (fingers) of hands and feet are separated, the thumb is flexible, and most of them can be held with other toes (fingers). It includes Protosimia and Simia. The prosimia has a fox like face; No cheek pouch and buttock callus; The forelimb is shorter than the hind limb; The thumb and big toe are developed and can be relative to other fingers (toes); The tail can be curled or absent. The ape suborder has a human like face; Most of them have cheek pouches and buttock calluses; Forelimbs are generally longer than hind limbs; Some big toes degenerate; The tail is long, some can curl, and some have no tail. According to regional distribution or nostril structure, apes can be divided into broad nosed monkey group, also known as New World monkeys; Narrow nosed monkey group, also known as Old World monkeys. This order includes about 51 genera and 180 species in 11 families, mainly distributed in warm regions of Asia, Africa and America, and most of them inhabit forest areas. The largest primate is the gorilla, weighing up to 275 kg, and the smallest primate is the bonobo, weighing only 70 g. The skull characteristics of the tree family are quite similar to some primitive primitive monkeys. Many anatomists and paleontologists once included it in primates, but its external morphology and ecological habits are very different from those of primates. Therefore, modern taxonomists have separated it into tree orders.Show more

Primate fossils are found in Paleocene Oligocene strata in North America, Europe and Asia, Miocene in Africa and Europe, and Pleistocene in South America, Africa and Madagascar. The evolution of primates has a history of 60 million years. The early primate fossils found around the world belong to protomonkeys, of which more than 60 genera are now extinct. There are no native monkeys in America, but there are a few species that are very similar to the native monkeys 50 million years ago on the Asian and African continent, Madagascar and some islands in the Indian Ocean. The history of apes can be traced back to 30~50 million years ago, and about 15~20 million years ago, the ancestors of apes have spread across Europe, Asia and Africa, but today only remain in the tropics of Asia and Africa.

In ancient Chinese books, monkeys are nicknamed Yu, Sure enough, Du, marmoset, etc. According to the White Tiger Pass, "Monkeys, marquis, are good at marquis. When people set up food and ambush machines, they look around from high." Hou means to wait and see.
