Monkeys
There are over 260 kinds of monkeys alive today, divided into two main groups: Old World monkeys, who live in Asia and Africa, and New World monkeys who live in the Americas. Overall, both groups are very similar, especially when it comes to food.
A Monkey's Diet
Have you ever noticed that monkeys in cartoons always seem to be eating bananas? Actually, wild monkeys don't eat bananas! Bananas don't grow naturally; they are planted by people, so wild monkeys don't even have a chance to eat them.
In the wild, most monkeys are omnivores, which means they eat both plants and meat. And all monkeys eat about the same things. Depending on their habitat, there may be some slight changes, but all monkeys eat fruits, leaves, seeds, nuts, flowers, vegetables, and insects. Let's look at a few specific types of monkeys to see what they eat.
Proboscis monkeys are easily recognized because of their large noses, and they have to be careful about the fruit they eat. They can only eat unripe fruit. When fruit ripens, it develops more sugar, which then breaks down through a process called fermentation. When this happens, gases are released. These gases would cause a proboscis monkey's stomach to swell up, which could cause death. Proboscis monkeys eat fruit from January to May, and then they eat leaves the rest of the year. They're known to eat over 55 different types of leaves, and they will also eat insects, seeds, and flowers.
Howler monkeys are the loudest land animal! Their calls can be heard up to three miles away. In addition to being very loud, howler monkeys also have a keen sense of smell. They can smell fruit and nuts that are over a mile away. They like to hang upside down from branches by their tails, and often this is how they eat. Howler monkeys are foliovores, which means that they mostly eat leaves. They're the only New World monkeys who are foliovores. Howler monkeys eat small, tender leaves, and will also eat fruits and green vegetables. Because they're larger than many other types of monkeys, they're not as fast, so the smaller monkeys tend to beat them to the fruit. That is why they mostly eat leaves.
