Curish golden monkeys

Curly monkeys or ropetikuses can be found only in the mountains of the Chinese provinces Sichuan and Yunnan. IN summer time The years they rise into coniferous forests at a height of more than 1,500 meters, where the temperature reaches a minus mark, so sometimes they are also called "snowy monkeys".

There are about 20 thousand representatives of the species on Earth. They live with huge flocks that have 400 or more individuals.

Bald Wakari

One of the rarest and poorly studied types of primates from the rainforest of Amazonian lowland. Only after the rain, they go down to the ground to pick up fallen fruit. Internal lifestyle is subject to a strict hierarchy, small communities are combined into larger to two hundred individuals.

Locals are called Uakari by the English monkeys, as they remind them of the blurred in the sun of the Red Tourists.

Golden Languras are found on the territory of the Kingdom of Bhutan and in the Indian Assam state, where they are considered sacred animals. Langura form groups up to 12 individuals in which one male and females are included. Young males live separately.

The most beloved habitat of most breeds monkeys are wet-warm tropics and subtropics on flat terrain near the reservoirs. But some types are well adapted to the wooded mountains, and individual individuals feel great even in places with a pretty cool climate.

Absolutely all types of monkeys are perfectly adapted to climbing trees. The structure of their forelimbs (hands) is such that allows them to rotate freely, and the thumbs are opposed to others, i.e. All limbs are grabbing.

Fool

In the crowns of the trees of the wet forests of Amazons, well-known miniature representatives of the kind of monkeys belonging to the family of informants feel great. The name of them is like from the Greek "Calos", i.e. beautiful. And they fully justify him. Their coat of soft, long fur is quite a variety of coloring - red, white, brown, smoky, golden.

In the tropical forests and mountainous terrain of Southeast Asia, Afghanistan and Japan, Macaki are inhabited - medium-sized primates with a rather muscular torso, covered with thick brown-gray wool. The muzzle of some species sometimes decorate a kind of beard. Usually macaics are kept by groups, and the number of women's female individuals is 4-5 times the number of males. Macakes are very sociable with each other and express their emotions with loud screams and screams, as well as scratching and caring for fellow fellow.

Capuchin

This detachment dwells in the forests on the American continent. This very careful monkey leads an active daily lifestyle. In her day mode there is a time for compulsory rest, and at night she has a main dream, which cappuchin spends in secluded corners among the crown of trees. Inhaled in food Kapuchins eat almost all - fruits, nuts, seeds, all kinds of insects, small vertebrates, mollusks, bird eggs.

Lifestyle monkeys - types of monkeys

With the Redi 133 types of monkeys, you can meet Mandrils weighing more than CG and 80 cm growing, and a dwarf tootki, which can fit on the palm of the person and weighs only 125. The mansion is the gibbons - small man-like monkeys whose growth does not exceed one meter, and Mass - 11 kg, since their classification is still discussed by scientists. Monkeys are divided into two groups: new light monkeys, or wide, and old light monkeys, known as clothy. The first group includes toys and cappucos living in the central and South America. Focused monkeys inhabit the warm areas of Asia and Africa. They have well-developed sedal corns and a chain tail.
FOOD. Monkeys predominantly vegetative. They feed on fruits, leaves, colors and plants roots. Many species for the sake of diversity complement their diet insects and small vertebrates. Some monkeys have adapted to special food.
The toilets willingly eat the gum arising from damaged tree trunks. They stretch the cutters of the hole in the tree cortex and lick sweet juice. The sackets are very loved by the rigid bones of fruit. Between the teeth, these monkeys have a slot that acts as tongs for the splitting of nuts. Gleder and the edges feed on solid malfunction of trees.

And the stomach is divided by partitions into several parts, like ruminant animals. This increases the path, food passes through the digestive system, and therefore the leaves have time to digest in the stomach. In the double or triple stomach of all lounge monkeys, it is possible to detect bacteria and the simplests that split cellulose. Most of the old light monkeys have grazed bags in which it can fit a large number of Food.
Reproduction. Capuchins and revenons are combined into herds with a clear hierarchical structure. Pregnancy at the monkeys lasts from 145 days in the ignition until 177 days from Pavians. In the species of monkeys lead one young. The exceptions make up toys and tamarins, whose females regularly give birth to twins. Young monkeys keep wool on mother's chest. The first weeks of the female often holds the kids with hand and feed them on the go. Monkeys differ from other mammals in that all members of the herd often help in raising the young females. About the kid females, standing on the top stage of the hierarchical staircase, willingly care other female, and the mother is going to search for food at this time. Scientists such nanny call "aunts." In the toy, most of the concerns of the care of the offspring takes on his father. He carries the baby on his back, cleans his wool, and the female passes it only at the time of feeding.

L Syat and sell as pets, and large shipping in the laboratory of research institutes and industrial concerns.
The greatest danger to monkeys and other wild animals is the destruction of habitats. In China, due to the cutting of forests, the number of Langurov is reduced. Only in 1975, the Chinese government banned the hunt for Langurov and founded the reserves for them.
The threat that comes from a person. Most of the types of monkeys suffer from various natural enemies. In addition to them, the enemy of monkeys is a person. In some countries, people still willingly eate the monkeys meat, considering it delicacy, in others - hunt them for fur.
Emelicers often kill monkeys for destroying the harvest. A greater threat to monkeys presents trade exotic animals.

The monkeys squad is very diverse both in its characteristics and in appearance. There are certain signs for which you can define a detachment of primates. These features include:
- developed clavicle and the presence of hand brushes with grateful reflexes;
- movable hand and legs, which are well unfolded;
- fingers on which there are claws;
- looking forward eyes protected by bone rings;
- Babies monkeys have milk teeth, and the whole set of teeth includes 4 types;

Monkeys have different sizes - gigantic as the dimensions of the gorilla, and small, as the size of long-distance. On the photos monkeys You can immediately notice the differences between the species. Mouse microtcement weighs no more than 60 grams, while the gorilla reaches three centners in the weight. What is interesting, there is a certain dependence of life expectancy on weight. The larger the look, the longer his life expectancy.

Orangutan, for example, can live to pension human age - up to 60 years, while the toys do not live for more than 10 years. Pregnancy time is also comparable to life expectancy: Tupaya pregnancy does not exceed 40 days, while the highest monkeys it is comparable to the duration of pregnancy in humans (270-295 days).

Monkeys vary in lifestyle. Most of their lifestyle wood or midnight. Representatives of the first lifestyle include Gibbons, Sayimiri, Rezunov, Langurov, Kolobusov. Among those who live in the tree, and on earth, you can highlight lemurs, macaque and chimpanzees. Also there are such types of monkeys who live exclusively on earth. This is the Patas, Gamadril and Pavian.

In the life of the monkey very moving, especially for small species. They do not part with their cubs from the moment of birth. Move their children, as a rule, on the stomach. After the baby is growing, he moves away from his mother's belly on his back. When performing jumps, his young mother is hand or a powerful tail.

At night, the monkeys are sleeping, and the active lifestyle, like people, lead during the daytime. At the same time, the half-chains of the day are sleeping, and at night they go hunting.

The diet of the monkeys is very diverse. For example, monks love fruit. Semobesyans, chimpanzees and cabins eat everything in a row, and Langura and Colobuses are vegetarians. Their diet is the leaves and bark of young trees. Tupayia and long-life feed, mostly insects. Fruits and leaves they eat in the very least. The diet shows their similarity with mammals insectivores.

People tried to tame monkeys and often kept them in captivity. The drawings on the stones of the ancient eras show that already in ancient Egypt, monkeys were kept in cells. IN Ancient Rome, in the circus monkeys showed the audience. Medieval knights and feudals were very valued monkeys and rarely contain them in cells. Moreover, they gave the fortress women to feed the young monkeys.

Today, man-like monkeys are used for circus numbers, moreover, some species, for example, in India, live next to people like dogs or cats. The memory and intelligence of the monkeys is not comparable to the memory of cats or dogs - the eternal companions of people.

Monkeys, like people, quickly produce conditional reflexes. Moreover, for example, chimpanzees can greatly use their knowledge and reflexes in order to obtain some benefit for themselves. In other words, the highest monkeys are talking about glimpses of consciousness.

Higher monkeys learned not only to produce tools of labor, but also to apply them. Chimpanzee, for example, breaks the stick, cleans it from the leaves and it is trying to extract the larvae. Also, straw they brush their teeth. Hoided items, such as stones and thick branches, higher monkeys are used as a weapon. The psyche in primates is sufficiently stable. Even in captivity, they not only adapt to reality, but also try to learn something.
