The Hamadryas baboon is part of the Old World monkey species. They are mostly found in the Northern parts of Africa and the Southwestern area of the Arabian Peninsula. These regions have the lowest rates of natural predators, which give the Hamadryas baboon an advantage over other baboon species.
The Hamadryas has a significant role in ancient Egyptian religion, which is why it is also known as the sacred baboon. They are omnivorous creatures since food is difficult to find in the dry seasons of the region they exist in. Orangutans are native of Malaysia and Indonesia. They live in the rainforests of Sumatra and Borneo and come under the family of Pongo. They have three main subspecies: Tapanuli orangutan, Bornean orangutan, and Sumatran orangutan.
They spend most of their time in the trees and have reddish-brown hair. Orangutans avoid groups and are solitary creatures. The only social bond they have is between a mother and a child.
They live primarily on a diet of fruit but are known to eat honey, bark, vegetation, insects, and bird eggs. They have a life span of 30 years and are one of the most intelligent primates. They are listed as critically endangered due to loss of habitat, illegal trading, and many other issues. The Macaques monkeys are part of the Old World monkey species and come from a subfamily called Cercopithecinae.
They live throughout North Africa, Asia, and in the smaller region of Gibraltar. They adapt easily to most environments and are found in all sorts of habitats throughout Asian. Their groups are based on a matriarchal structure under a dominant female. They are one of the most invasive species and learn to live among humans for food and shelter. They can swim and usually roam on the ground. Chimpanzees have coarse black hair but their fingers, palms, toes, soles, and face are bare.
They weigh up to 65 kg and can grow to be 94 cm. The infants have a close relationship with the mother, even after they have weaned at the age of 3. They can live up to 40 years in the wild and live in groups of members. They have a strict patriarchal structure of the hierarchy, which means that disputes are settled without violence.
They are intelligent creatures known to makeshift tools from grass, leaves, sticks, and rocks to gather food. They can even make spears from sharpened sticks to hunt for small animals for food like Senegal bush babies. They are an endangered species and only around , and , chimpanzees are estimated to be living over the world.
Gibbon monkeys are part of the Hylobatidae family and have 18 different subspecies. They are tailless and have long-term mates. They remain mostly up in trees and are commonly seen swinging around from branch to branch. Inhabiting the mountains and forests of Morocco, Algeria, and Gibarlter, barbary macaques macaca sylvanus are the only wild monkeys found in Europe. These monkeys are endangered due to habitat loss, which has forced entire populations further up into areas with less food and protection.
Even worse, it is estimated that about infant barbary macaques are taken illegally out of Morocco for pet trade each year.

Katherine Gallagher is a writer and sustainability expert. She holds a B. Monkeys are very social, so it is important that they communicate well in order to get along in their large groups. They use vocalizations, facial expressions, and body movements to get their messages across. Staring, for instance, is a threat in monkey society. Monkeys look down or away to avoid threatening other monkeys, thus preventing fights. Monkeys with long tails sometimes use them to communicate with others and indicate their mood.
Loud vocalizations can mean, "stay out—this is my territory. Monkeys use barks, screams, grunts, squeaks, hoots, wails, and moans to communicate with one another. Grinning, or pulling the lip up to show the teeth, may seem like a smile to us. But for monkeys, this is a sign of aggression or anger, because biting is one of the ways monkeys fight and defend themselves.
Other signs of aggression include head bobbing, yawning again, to show the teeth , and jerking the head and shoulders forward. Cotton-topped tamarins raise and lower a crest of fluffy white hair on their head to emphasize their facial expressions. Monkeys also express affection and make peace with others by grooming each other. Although grooming helps monkeys keep their fur clean of dirt, dead skin, and parasites, it also helps them build and maintain good social relationships. Grooming seems to be a way to make up after fighting or to make friends with other troop members.
Unless human behavior changes, monkeys face an uncertain future. Many live in areas where people live. Monkeys are often considered pests by farmers and are killed. Some are killed for their fur and for meat, which is known as bushmeat; some are hunted for medicinal concoctions. Monkeys are also trapped and sold as pets, but monkeys do not make good pets.
They are loud, messy, difficult to care for, and can be aggressive. Monkeys can also become very sick from not getting the right food, and they lead unhappy and short lives from not living in the right conditions.
Many monkeys have been poorly studied, and researchers are only gradually uncovering their social, dietary, and behavioral habits. In Cameroon, hunting to supply the commercial trade in bushmeat destined for big Africa cities is one of the major threats to monkeys, and our conservation research stations are providing a safe haven simply because the presence of conservation researchers in the forest deters hunters, and our community outreach efforts in local villages help get the conservation information to the people who live close to wildlife.
You can help protect monkeys and monkey habitat, too! Do not buy anything made from monkey body parts. Be careful about buying items made from rainforest trees, unless that wood is certified. Some rainforest products, such as Brazil nuts, actually help protect monkey habitat, because they can only be harvested from healthy rainforests. This type of product usually has a label describing how it helps protect the rainforest. Read the labels!
Recycling and buying recycled products also helps save wildlife habitats by reducing the amount of resources we take from the Earth. By supporting San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, you are our ally in saving and protecting wildlife worldwide.
Number of young at birth: 1 or rarely 2 for Old World and New World monkeys; 1 to 3 for marmosets and tamarins. Largest: mandrill Mandrillus sphinx. Head and body length for males is about 28 to 32 inches 72 to 83 centimeters and 33 to 59 pounds 15 to 17 kilograms.
