🐒 Monkey Quiz – How Well Do You Know Them?

Monkeys have been around for millions of years, with some species dating back to the Miocene epoch. They are believed to be our closest relatives in the animal kingdom. Although we don't share a direct lineage, humans and monkeys share many common characteristics, such as body structure and opposable thumbs. Monkeys come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from small marmosets to large baboons. Furthermore, they display a range of behaviors, including socializing with other members of their group, using tools, playing games, or engaging in play fights - which is very similar to how human beings interact with one another. This similarity has allowed us to learn more about ourselves by studying them closely over the centuries.

Humans may not realize it, but primates that eat mostly fruit can have a highly beneficial effect on their environment. These frugivorous primates are essential seed dispersers for a large variety of trees, and so they are recognized as "keystone species." This means they have a major influence on their habitat, helping to maintain species diversity.
Humans can benefit from primates, such as monkeys and apes, dispersing seeds in their habitats, as this helps promote the growth of trees that act as carbon sinks. These primates are the most efficient when it comes to seed dispersal, making them important for the continuation of the carbon cycle and for combating global climate change.
