Are monkey attacks severe?
The 264 known monkey species represent two of the three groupings of simian primates. Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent and, unlike apes, monkeys usually have tails. Monkeys range in size from the Pygmy Marmoset, at 5-6 inches long and 4-5 ounces in weight, to the male Mandrill, almost 3.3 feet long and weighing 77 pounds. Some live in trees while others live on the savanna. Diets differ among the various species but may contain any of the following: fruit, leaves, seeds, nuts, flowers, eggs and small animals.
