edA Monkey is a primate of the Haplorrhini suborder and simian infraorder, either an Old World monkey or a New World monkey. They are generally considered to be intelligent and social animals, and are often kept as pets.
Monkeys are agile animals who use their hands, feet, tails and facial expressions to communicate with one another. They primarily eat fruit and other vegetation, but some monkeys also feed on insects, as well as smaller animals.
