Monkeys are omnivores and have a varied diet that includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, and insects. They also require a source of protein in their diet, which can come from eggs or small animals. As infants, monkeys are dependent on their mothers for milk, and gradually transition to solid foods as they grow. Monkeys can be susceptible to a wide range of illnesses, including respiratory infections, parasites, and dental problems. It is also crucial to be aware of the potential zoonotic diseases that can be transmitted from monkeys to humans and take proper precautions to prevent transmission. Monkeys are intelligent and active animals that require plenty of space to climb and play, as well as regular exercise and enrichment activities.
