Monkey Fun Facts:
Monkeys are usually portrayed with a book because they are considered one of the most intelligent primates known to mankind. They share about 98% of our DNA due to a common ancestor which lived about 4-5 million years ago. Hence, because of their social abilities and adeptness at using tools, people who study them have been impressed at their ability to think and reason. However, these animals are listed on the 25 Most Endangered Primates list published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Species Survival Commission Primate Specialist Group. It is said there are only 150 Tonkin snub-nosed monkeys left in existence and the other specie which has raised attention is the Hainan Black-Crested Gibbon. There are only 20 of these gibbons left.
