I'd like to know more about monkeys...

... if you are constantly telling yourself that, I've compiled a list of random monkey facts you may or may not know.....

• Monkeys are most easily distinguished from apes by their tails. Apes have no tails.

• Monkeys express affection and make peace with others by grooming each other
• Most monkeys eat both animals and plants. Some also eat dirt.
• Monkeys peel their bananas and do not eat the skins.

• Howler monkeys are the loudest monkeys. Their howls can be heard for about two miles in the forest and almost three miles in an open area.
• Monkeys don't catch colds
• Orangutans aren't monkeys but they are photogenic so I included their photos.
• Monkeys are often offended if stared at.
