A
Crab-eating Macaque, an old world species of monkey native to
Southeast Asia
A monkey is a
primate, either an
Old World monkey or a
New World monkey. There are about 260 known living
species of monkey. Many are arboreal, although there are species that live primarily on the ground, such as
baboons. Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent. Unlike apes, monkeys usually have tails. Tailless monkeys may be called "apes", incorrectly according to modern usage; thus the tailless
Barbary macaque is called the "Barbary ape".
The New World monkeys are classified within the
parvorder Platyrrhini, whereas the Old World monkeys (superfamily Cercopithecoidea) form part of the parvorder
Catarrhini, which also includes the
hominoids (apes and humans). Thus, as Old World monkeys are more closely related to hominoids than they are to New World monkeys, the monkeys are not a unitary (
monophyletic) group.
