Altworld monkeys, commonly known as Old World monkeys, are a group of primates that belong to the superfamily Cercopithecoidea. They are native to Africa and Asia and are more closely related to humans than New World monkeys.
Altworld monkeys are characterized by their long tails, narrow noses with nostrils that are close together and point downwards, and a lack of prehensile tails. They have a diverse diet, consisting of fruits, leaves, seeds, insects, and occasionally small vertebrates.
Some well-known examples of altworld monkeys include baboons, macaques, langurs, and guenons. They exhibit a wide range of social behavior and live in various habitats, including forests, savannahs, and mountainous regions.
These primates have a high level of intelligence and exhibit complex social structures, often living in large social groups. They are known to communicate through a range of vocalizations, facial expressions, and body movements.
Altworld monkeys are important for scientific research as they are used as animal models in various fields such as neuroscience, psychology, and genetics. They are also popular in zoos and conservation efforts are in place to protect their natural habitats as they face threats from habitat loss and hunting.
