The life of the monkeys The monkey is a mammal that is classified as a primate, which is one of the highest classifications in the animal world and has more than two hundred species spread around the world, and they live in groups in family ties run by a leader of the herd who is set up by the members of the herd against them in a fierce and strong competition between the strong males in the herd. The ancient Egyptians considered the monkey a sacred symbol of the lower gods in the era of the pharaohs, and statues and mummies of monkeys were found in many of the Pharaonic royal tombs.
Places of monkey spread
The environments in which the monkeys live are varied according to the nature of the breed to which they belong. Most of the monkeys live in tropical forests and jungles with tall trees, fertile pastures, which are considered a suitable breeding ground for monkeys in terms of food availability and housing, while other species prefer rocky places and open areas. Monkeys are distributed in the world according to the type of lineage to which they belong, and rarely do we find two subspecies of monkeys inhabiting the same place; This is as a kind of extension of control from the existing dynasty, for example in South America we find howling and spider monkeys, while in Southeast Asia there are small Gabon monkeys in abundance, and as for the Arab world, baboons are spread, especially in the Gulf region and Egypt.
