Monkey is an umbrella term. Many of the animals in primates we call monkeys. Primates are the 1st order of mammals, the highest class of the animal kingdom, with well-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 held against other toes (fingers). He is also one of the Twelve Chinese Zodiac signs. Xiaobian sorted out the various monkeys I had seen, some of which were particularly likable. For everyone to enjoy.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > baby monkey</h1>
The Baby Monkey (Galago senegalensis), also known as the Senegalese Baby Monkey, is somewhat similar to the Tarsier and the Loris, especially the large, rounded, protruding eyes that are typical. It is generally as large as a squirrel, arboreal, and nocturnal. Agile and good at jumping, one jump can reach 3 to 5 meters. The neck is very flexible and can be turned back by 180°.
Baby monkeys have something in common with lorises in morphologically and were once included in the family Lorises. Interestingly, it has two tongues, one of which is a false tongue, which is used to comb the hairs all over the body and remove dirt from between the teeth. Baby monkeys rest in branches or tree holes during the day and sometimes live in abandoned nests. They prefer to live in groups, lie out day and night, and move quickly and easily jump up to a distance of 4 meters.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > two, macaques</h1>
Rhesus Macaque is also known as yellow monkey, rhesus macaque, guangxi monkey. It is a monkey that is very close to human physiology and is easy to domesticate and breed, but because many monkeys are now listed as national protected animals, it has become a big problem to keep macaques as pets. Macaques are mainly distributed in southwest, south China, central China, east China, north China and parts of northwest China. Macaques are also commonly used to conduct various medical experiments. In China's "List of Wild Animals under National Key Protection", macaques are listed as national second-level protected animals, and are listed as vulnerable species in the "Red Book of Endangered Animals in China".
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three, tarsiers</h1>
The tarsier is one of the fewest remaining monkeys in the world, mainly distributed in Southeast Asia, so it is generally only seen locally, because it is rare in number, an endangered species, and is now under national protection. Tarsiers are very susceptible to habitat changes. If the habitat is destroyed, their numbers decrease. Through examination and calculation, as well as extrapolation of other markers, there should be only about 800 to 1200 tarsiers left in the forests of Sulawesi.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > iv</h1>
Lemur is a relatively primitive primate, and most lemurs currently live in eastern Madagascar. What makes them more special is the mammals that have the ability to echolocate. Madagascar in Africa is the last refuge for lemurs, and apart from this island, this primate with beautiful big eyes has disappeared elsewhere on the planet.

In most people's impressions, finger monkeys are very small, their body length does not exceed the length of a human finger, because it is too small, they can even hold human fingers as climbers, so people call them finger monkeys.

Legend: When God determines the lifespan of all living things, the lifespan of people is 20 years, donkeys 50 years, dogs 25 years, and monkeys 20 years. Monkeys and dogs don't want that long lifespans, just 10 and 15 years, respectively; only people think their lifespans are too short. So God gave people the life span that donkeys, dogs, and monkeys gave up. Thus, in the end, humans can live to be 80 years old.
The allegory about the monkey The Han generally believes that the monkey is a mascot. Because the monkey is harmonized with Hou, in many pictures, the image of the monkey indicates the meaning of the marquis. For example, a monkey climbs on a maple tree to hang a seal, taking the meaning of "sealing the seal"; A monkey rides on horseback, meaning "to be knighted immediately"; Two monkeys sit on a pine tree, or one monkey rides on the back of another monkey, meaning "generations of marquises".
