Cruelty is no way to treat a Monkey.

Religion and worship


Hanuman, a prominent divine entity in Hinduism, is a monkey-like humanoid. He may bestow longevity.

In Buddhism, the monkey is an early incarnation of Buddha but may also represent trickery and ugliness.

The Chinese Buddhist "mind monkey" metaphor refers to the unsettled, restless state of human mind. 

Monkey is also one of the Three Senseless Creatures, symbolizing greed, with the tiger representing anger and the deer lovesickness.

The Mizaru or three wise monkeys are revered in Japanese folklore.

The Moche people of ancient Peru worshipped nature. They placed emphasis on animals and often depicted monkeys in their art.

Crab-eating Macaque, an old world species of monkey native to Southeast Asia


A monkey is a primate, either an Old World monkey or a New World monkey. There are about 260 known living species of monkey. Many are arboreal, although there are species that live primarily on the ground, such as baboons. Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent. Unlike apes, monkeys usually have tails. Tailless monkeys may be called "apes", incorrectly according to modern usage; thus the tailless Barbary macaque is called the "Barbary ape".
