NounSingular monkey Plural monkeys monkey (plural monkeys)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A monkey is any cercopithecoid (Old World monkey) or platyrrhine (New World monkey) primate. All primates that are not prosimians (lemurs and tarsiers) or apes are monkeys. The 264 known extant monkey species represent two of the three groupings of simian primates (the third group being the 21 species of apes). Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent and, unlike apes, monkeys usually have tails. 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 apes. Thus, scientifically speaking, monkeys are paraphyletic (not a single coherent group) and Old World monkeys are actually more closely related to the apes than they are to the New World monkeys. Due to its size (up to 1 m/3 ft) the Mandrill is often thought to be an ape, but it is actually an Old World monkey. Also, a few monkey species have the word "ape" in their common name.

If you have to ask how much a yacht costs, you don't have enough money. If you have to ask how much time you to devote to a primate, you don't have enough spare time. There's a reason most people own dogs, cats, hamsters or goldfish. Expect to pay three times what you thought, and work three times as long at upkeep, companionship, training and so on. At a minimum, call the vets in your county to ask if they know of anyone who provides medical care to primates. If there isn't one and yours gets sick, figure on driving to the nearest city with a population of a million or more. If anyone answers that "blue-eared monkeys" (I'm making that species up for the purpose of illustration) are reasonably priced, [cont.] Answered by Ted Pack - Wed Feb 4 21:56:05 2009 What is the difference between calling a black man a monkey and a white man?
