What is a Monkey?

Monkey is the name for a member of the primate order (Similformes) that includes lemurs, monkeys and apes. Informally, it may also be used to mean any ape that is not a great ape, such as a gorilla, chimpanzee or orangutan. The term is usually reserved for the Old World monkeys in the subfamily Cercopithecinae, which are in the clade Catarrhini. Like other members of the simian family, monkeys…

Wolf's mona monkey (Cercopithecus wolfi), also called Wolf's guenon, is a colourful Old World monkey in the family Cercopithecidae. It is found in central Africa, primarily between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. It lives in primary and secondary lowland rainforest and swamp forest. 

The species was first described from a living specimen in the Zoological Garden at Dresden. It was brought in 1887 by Dr Ludwig Wolf from somewhere in central west Africa. The species was described in 1891 and named after the collector. This specimen died in October 1891 and the skeletal characters were described in 1894. 

Wolf's mona monkey is in the C. mona grouping within the genus Cercopithecus along with Campbell's mona monkey, Dent's mona monkey, Lowe's mona monkey, the mona monkey, and the crested mona monkey. Wolf's mona monkey was previously considered a subspecies of the crested mona monkey. The genus Cercopithecus is part of the subfamily Cercopithecinae along with baboons, mangabeys, and macaques. This subfamily shares several common traits such as cheek pouches, low and rounded molar cusps, and simple stomachs; all adaptations to a frugivorous diet.

Wolf's mona monkey has two subspecies which are separated by a large area of swamp forest: 

C. wolfi wolfi, found between the Congo and Sankuru Rivers.

C. wolfi elegans, found between the Lomami and Lualaba Rivers

Guenons, the largest group of African primates, are very colorful. Their color is used in intraspecific communication for recognizing individuals, species, and potential mates. Wolf's mona monkey is dark grey with a red "saddle" on its back. The pelage depends on the subspecies. C. wolfi wolfi has a chestnut-colored patch on the middle of its back. Its arms are black and legs are red. It has a yellow underside, occasionally with an orange stripe down its flanks. Its cheek whiskers are yellow, speckled with black, and its ear tufts are red. C. wolfi elegans has a back which is gradually browner towards the rump. Its forearms are black, and its upper arms have a pale speckling. Its legs are light gray, while its underside is white. Its cheek whiskers are white, with dark speckling that increases near the base. Its ear tufts are white. The male's scrotum is blue.[6] Wolf's mona monkey is also sexually dimorphic in size. Males weigh, on average, almost twice as much as females, 4.5 kilograms (10 lb) and 2.5 kilograms (5.5 lb) respectively. Its small size makes it susceptible to predators, especially the crowned eagle and the leopard.

Malaysia: Troop of Monkeys fatally poisoned near Taiping By John Bunyan, 21st December 2017;

A herd of 38 monkeys was found dead from suspected poisoning at an old quarry near Bukit Larut, Taiping this morning.

A member of Persatuan Kepolisan Komuniti Aulong Taiping Perak spotted the carcasses and reported it to the authorities today.

The monkeys were believed to be Long-tailed Macaques (Macaca fascicularis).

Taiping Zoo & Night Safari director Dr Kevin Lazarus said they sent veterinarians to the spot after they were informed of the discovery

"Our veterinarians rushed to spot and discovered 38 carcasses of Monkey. We believe the Monkeys were poisoned at a different place and dumped at the quarry.

"We suspected the Monkeys were poisoned as there were no external injuries on the animal.

"We have taken samples from the Monkeys and send it to the laboratory for testing," he told Malay Mail when contacted.

He also said this was the first incident of such a scale in Taiping

Dr Kevin said they also reported the incident to the Wildlife and National Parks Department for further action.

Monkeys As Pets

When we think of monkeys, we typically envision chimpanzees or other great apes, but there are many types of small primates that live as pets. These animals are a lot of fun to watch as they explore their environment, investigate objects before throwing them around with glee, and mimic our movements. Monkeys are a member of the genus Cercopithecinae and are divided into two subfamilies, New World…

Abu would not be a Capuchin Monkey

Abu from Aladdin would not be a Capuchin monkey as shown in the new live action movie.

Capuchins are new world monkeys that exist in South America. According to my research Old World Monkeys live in Africa, Asia, and a little bit of the Middle East. They fall into two classes Cercopithecinae and Colobinae.

https://www2.palomar.edu/anthro/primate/prim_6.htm

The Cercopithacine Monkeys eat meat and fruits and fill their cheeks like hamsters. Which Abu totally does.

I think Abu is most likely a Hamadryas Baboon. As it is the type of old world monkey I found most likely to be living in Arabia/ the Middle East.

This is not Abu!

ONE DAY, I Would like to Turn on the news and Hear, There's PEACE On Earth.🌎🌍🌏 ❣❣🔥🌷❤ The macaques (/məˈkɑːk/ or /məˈkæk/]) constitute a genus (Macaca) of Old World monkeys of the subfamily Cercopithecinae. The 23 species of macaques are distributed throughout Asia, North Africa and (in one instance) Gibraltar. Macaques are principally frugivorous, although their diet also includes seeds, leaves, flowers, and tree bark, and some, such as the crab-eating macaque, subsist on a diet of invertebrates and occasionally small vertebrates. Macaques are found in a variety of habitats throughout the Asian continent, and are extremely adaptable. All macaque social groups are arranged around dominant, matriarchal females.They also have learned to live with humans, and have become an invasive species in some human inhabited landscapes, such as the island of Mauritius and Silver Springs State Park in Florida. Macaques can be a threat to conservation, along with a threat to human wellbeing through carrying transmittable and fatal diseases. Currently, macaques as an invasive species are handled with several control methods. 💐 Follow ⤵& Use Tag #himachalwildlifepicture 🌉 🌳🗻🏕🌏🐒 #macaques #indianpictures 🌌 #canonshots #monkey #bbctravel  #canonasia #animals #earthcapture 🌏 #chamba #macaque #Wildlife 🗾  #canon #canonphotos #animalsphotography 🏞 #Mountains #wildlifeplanet #wildanimals #naturephotography #wildlifephotography 🌅🌌 #photography #natgeo #himachalpictures 🗻🗺 #birdsofhimachal #himachalwildlife #northindiawildlife #himachalanimals #himachalbirds (at Chamba, Himachal Pradesh) https://www.instagram.com/deepakgargsharma/p/BxM6QNvl8Wl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e4nvqpsau1ve

Farewell dear Annette, queen of the Hindhede troop – yet another macaque killed on a small road adjacent to the nature reserve

By N. Sivasothi, 14th February 2017;

In 2013, I was delighted to feature a photo of Annette the Long-tailed Macaque (Macaca fascicularis) of the Hindhede troop, catching forty winks. The then pregnant Annette reminded us of the day to day exploits of our local native primates go through, not unlike ourselves.

Researcher Amanda Tan had shared that image over twitter as she prepared for field studies in Thailand for her graduate work. Similarly, another of Singapore's 'monkey girls', Sabrina Jaafar, shares stories of her encounters with various individuals and troops during her work with monkeys through Facebook.

These primate workers had transformed their study subjects into well-loved individuals who have been followed by many of us, who sit far away in our offices, dreaming of the forest. And their stories have guided my students as well.

The urban animals tough, resourceful or adaptable enough to survive alongside us in urban Singapore face many challenges. Long-tailed Macaques in Singapore face being trapped and killed which has eliminated one-third the population in some years. The native monkeys also face an onslaught by fast traffic on small roads adjacent to nature reserves. Sabrina has chronicled several such tragedies and other primate researches I talk to have noted broken bones and other injuries in study subjects over the years. Her words have not gone unnoticed.

In 2012, naturalists local and overseas were upset to read of the death of Nad, the reigning queen from the Hindhede troop. It was wretched, and should not have happened that close to the nature reserve when cars should be travelling carefully. Then last week (8th February 2017), I discovered that yet again, an avoidable death had occured – Annette, like Nad before her, was mercilessly killed by a speeding car, on a small road next to the nature reserve.

Sabrina and Amanda penned these thoughts, which they agreed to share.
