Monkeys are animal created by God. Like humans, monkeys belong to the group of mammals that is called primates. They are clever and social animals. They are known for the habit of running and leaping through trees with ease. They have a tail which males them different from ape, besides, monkeys generally have narrower chests.

My Pet Name

I have not really give my pet a special name, but normally I call the usual name "monkeys." And it has been accustomed to responding once you call.

Eating Habit

Like rightly mentioned, Monkeys are highly sociable animals and much of their normal behaviour revolves around there interactions with the human community. When living isolated with human company, they lose their ability to express normal behaviours and become dependent on human interaction. Hence their eating habit change. They eat anything eaten by the humans. So my monkey eat banana, bread with butter, he even drank tea. He eat rice and beans, infact, almost everything I eat is what I give to my monkey.

Lifestyle of My Monkey

Because they are social animal, monkeys can be very funny to live with, they sometimes do thing that makes everyone in the house laugh uncontrollably. You can imagine a situation were you are cracking palms-kernel, as you are lifting the stone from the kernel, the monkey will quickly grab the nut and throw it into his mouth and wait for you to crack another one. If you do not apply wisdom, you may not even eat any, and the manner at which he does it, is somewhat funny to see. In a general sense, they have a very funny lifestyle.

Uses and Importance to Man

The importance of monkeys to man cannot be underestimated even though people tend to be scare of monkey because they believe it can transmit disease to man. However, human biology and disease can be studied in Monkeys because they are very similar to humans biologically, anatomically, and as well as physiologically. They have brains similar to humans, muscle structure and their reproductive and immune systems is also similar to humans. Apart from that, when use as pet, they help to scare away other harmful animals like snakes from coming close to the house.

Could they be dangerous to man?

Anything that have advantages us bound to also have its disadvantages. Monkeys have their own dangerous side. Usually they are aggressive in nature. They tend to react sharply to hangared situation cause by man and might want to go for a fight with you. If they are left uncage, they can playfully cause distractions in the neighbourhood that may cause problem for the neighbours who may have not welcome them in the first place.

Recommendations

As much as I am concern, I know that what us good and acceptable for some may not be acceptable by others. So in this regard ad much as I have come to like and have monkey as pet, knowing much of their behaviours, likes and dislike, I can confidently recommends it to anyone who will love to give it a try. There is a saying that "a trial will convince you". If you do not give it a try, you can never be convinced.
