"Monkey
(animal),
any of about 160 species of primates
that have grasping hands, forward-facing eyes,
and highly developed brains. Most monkeys also
have tails, a characteristic that distinguishes
them from their larger primate cousins, the apes.
Monkeys are highly skilled climbers, and most
spend much of their lives in trees. Some have
prehensile tails—that is, tails capable of
grasping—that they can use as a fifth limb
while foraging for food or climbing."

has grown overwhelming. Coconut, chocolate,
papaya and banana farmers having terrible time
in keeping all the plans produce quality and
good amount of crops successfully. Like any other
animals, monkeys eat all they can while having
with it.
Monkeys
enjoy destroying the plants as much as they
enjoy eating
