A monkey is not actually an animal in itself but a term used to describe a member of the primate family which is not a ape or a man. Monkeys generally live in tropical or sub-tropical areas of the world.

The monkey pictured here is a Baboon. Baboons have long muzzles and are large. Their hair is unusually long and covers their body except for parts of the face and the buttocks. They live in Africa in troops of 20 to 150 individuals.
