My favorite animal is the monkey. They are pretty intelligent creatures!
Monkeys are so adorable! I wonder how many different species there are?
About 260 species of primates! In fact, one jumped on my back and stole my banana in South Africa!
Wow! I didn't know there were that many different species! One actually jumped on your back? lol. I guess they are very friendly
Yes! Two major types. Old World Monkeys & New World Monkeys! Yeah they were very used to human interaction!
What is the difference between the two?
The New World involves South & Central America, while Old World is in Africa & Asia.
Oh okay. That is very interesting. Are there any species that can be considered Old World and New World?
I'm not sure! They have been around for millions of years. I'm pretty sure the categories are pretty distinct. I'll have to look into that though!
Wow! Millions of years? That's a long time. lol. Any other interesting tidbits about monkeys you care to share?
