Most monkeys live in large social groups and spend the majority of their day searching for food and socializing. Some species may spend time grooming one another, playing, communicating and forming social bonds with one another.
In many species, things like play-fighting, chasing, and even games of stealing from each other are forms of recreation and amusement. There's one behavior, however, that is nearly universal: grooming. Social grooming is one of monkeys' favorite things to do.
Monkeys play an important role in their native habitats by pollinating flowers and dispersing seeds as they travel. Some monkeys can swim; their webbed toes help them paddle through the water, and they may swim across a stream or river to avoid predators or get to food.
Monkeys spend their time looking for food, socializing, and watching for predators. While every species has its own daily routine, here's a basic rundown of common behaviors: Many species of monkeys sleep in large groups for protection. They wake up and slowly spread out, foraging for plants or insects to eat.
They are known for running and leaping through trees with ease. Like apes and humans, monkeys belong to the group of mammals called primates. Monkeys look somewhat like apes such as chimpanzees, orangutans, and gorillas.
They learn from their families how to find food, communicate, recognize kin, even use tools, medicine, and language. It is these familiar actions that make monkeys so fascinating to humans. We can see ourselves in their faces, our nature in their actions.
The three wise monkeys are a pictorial maxim, embodying the proverbial principle "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil.
No matter what type or which world these monkeys belong to, they always live in groups and have good social behaviour. In many groups, females are in large numbers compared to males. In non-group, males usually live alone or in groups. Male monkeys usually have the majority control over the group.
Chimps sleep around 9.5 hours out of every 24. Cotton-top tamarins sleep around 13. Three-striped night monkeys are technically nocturnal, though really, they're hardly ever awake — they sleep for 17 hours a day.
One key behavioural correlate of stress, common particularly within the primates, is scratching (i.e the repetitive raking of the skin on face and/or body, with the fingers of the hand or feet)7.
Most omnivorous monkeys eat fruits, nuts, and meat like bird eggs and lizards.
A "threat" face (open mouth, ears and forehead forward, presumed to be the expression for anger, when a monkey is threatening others) A "lip smack" (lips are smacked together over and over again, presumed to be the expression for affiliation or appeasement)
It seems intuitive that primates experience sexual pleasure in a similar way to humans [50,51]. Indeed, female orgasms occur in lemurs, marmosets, macaques, and apes [18,28].
Monkeys are scared of snakes. Keep real looking plastic snakes at roof tops or boundary wall of your house. Loud heavy noise, bursting of crackers or their sound track will force the monkeys to leave any premises.
Especially for primates, “enrichment is really important because … they're smart animals,” she said. “They get bored.” Animals who do not receive sufficient enrichment can develop what experts call “stereotypic behaviors” — tics that range from fur pulling to pacing back and forth, according to Carney.
Together, the data from our monkey studies suggest that loneliness – reflecting a discrepancy between desired and achieved levels of social relations – can occur in nonhumans, and that its neuroimmune consequences parallel those seen among lonely humans.
Answer and Explanation: Monkeys do not cry, at least not the way we do. Humans are the only primates to respond to feelings of extreme grief, anguish, pain, sadness, or frustration by releasing tears and weeping.
Strengths: sociable, clever, curious. Weaknesses: unreliable, mischievous, disrespectful.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Monkeys can experience the joy of giving in much the same way as humans do, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.
Empathy: Chimpanzees are capable of feeling a wide range of emotions, including joy, happiness and empathy. They look out for one another and often provide help when needed. For example, both male and female adults have been observed adopting orphaned chimps in the wild and at the Tchimpounga sanctuary.

Description. This four monkeys symbolize do no evil,say no evil,hear no evil,see no evil.
When monkeys get aggressive, it's usually because they think you have something to eat. According to one study, about three-quarters of all the aggressive interactions between long-tailed macaques and tourists at Bali's Padangtegal Monkey Forest involved food.
