A monkey is any of the various smaller,
mainly tree-dwelling anthropoid primates,
excluding humans and the apes. The 125
species live in Africa, Asia, and tropical
Central and South America. Monkeys eat mainly
leaves and fruit, and also small animals.
Several species are endangered due to loss of
forest habitat, eg: the woolly spider monkey
and black saki of the Amazonian forest.
