Hey Monkeys,
Have you heard about Monkey Fact Monday? It is every Monday where Calypso (or other awesome monkeys) add some awesome facts about monkeys to the Go Bananas Blog, well today Taylor told us about the Rhesus Monkey! Let's hear more!!
As you can see from the picture, Rhesus Monkeys are brownish color with red faces, pretty cute right?
Picture from National Geographic Mammals page as well as most information below.
These monkeys are mostly from Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Southeast Asia, and China. A few military troops also introduced Rhesus Monkeys to America!
You will normally find Rhesus monkeys eating roots, fruit, seeds and bark, but also bugs and small animals. They live in troops (monkey groups) that can be as big as 200 monkeys! Whoa! That must be NOISY! :-D
Rhesus monkeys can climb and swim really well but prefer to spend most of their time on the ground -- just like us!
Have a Bananatastic day!
