Do you know the Monkey King in a monkey herd? Monkeys were originally distributed here

Monkeys are members of three species of ape primates, primates are the population of the animal kingdom, monkeys generally have developed brains, the orbits are facing forward, the orbital spacing is narrow, the toes (fingers) of the hands and feet are separated, the thumbs are flexible, and most can be compared with other proto-monkey suborders and ape suborders.

Monkey

Monkey is a common name, and many of the animals in primates we call monkeys. Primates are a group of mammals, belonging to the highest class of the animal kingdom, with a well-developed brain; the orbits are facing forward, the orbital spacing is narrow; the toes (fingers) of the hands and feet are separated, the thumbs are flexible, and most can be held against other toes (fingers). These include prototypraceae and suborder Apes. Proto-monkey suborder is fox-like; buccal sac and breech;forelimbs are shorter than hindlimbs; thumbs and big toes are well developed and can be opposed to other fingers (toes); the tail can be curled or absent. The ape suborder is human-like; most have cheek sacs and rump calluses; most of the forelimbs are longer than the hind limbs; some of the large toes are degenerate; the tail is long, some can be curled, and some have no tail. According to regional distribution or nostril structure, the suborder Ape is divided into the Broad-nosed Monkey Group, also known as the New World Monkey Group, and the Narrow-nosed Monkey Group, also known as the Old World Monkey Group. This order includes about 180 species in 51 genera in 11 families, mainly distributed in the warm belts of Asia, Africa and the Americas, mostly inhabiting forested areas. The largest of the primates is the gorilla, which weighs up to 275 kilograms, and the smallest is the bonobo monkey, which weighs only 70 grams. The skull characteristics of the tree family are quite similar to some very primitive proto-monkey species, and many anatomists and paleontologists have included it in primates, but their external morphology and ecological habits are very different from those of primates, so modern taxonomists have made it independent of trees.

Primate fossils are found in Paleocene to Oligocene strata in North America, Europe and Asia, in the Miocene in Africa and Europe, and in south America, Africa and Madagascar in the Pleistocene. Primates have evolved for 60 million years, and fossils of early primates found around the world belong to proto-monkeys, more than 60 of which are now extinct. There are no proto-monkeys in the Americas, but on the Asian and African continents, Madagascar and some islands in the Indian Ocean, there are still a few species that are very similar to the proto-monkeys of 50 million years ago. The history of apes dates back 30 to 50 million years, and about 15 to 20 million years ago, the ancestors of apes have spread to Europe, Asia and Africa, but today only the tropical regions of Asia and Africa remain.

In ancient Chinese texts, the monkey's nickname is Yu, Guoran, Du, Marmoset and so on. According to the "White Tiger Pass", "Monkeys, Hou Ye, see people set up food ambush machines, then rely on high four looks, good at Hou Ye." "Hou means to wait and wait.

In the northern mountains of the Indonesian island of Kalimantan, "Monkey Worship Day" is celebrated on May 7 every year. In the northern mountains of Thailand, the "Monkey Sports Festival" is celebrated on November 1 every year (except Antarctica).
