Monkey

When we talk about monkeys, we know that there are various kinds of them. Scientifically speaking, they all fall under the order known as Primates. Primates are further divided into two suborders known as Prosimians and Anthropoids. Capuchins are monkeys that belong to a superfamily called Ceboidea (New world monkeys), which falls under the suborder Anthropoids (Downing).

Their weight can range between six to twelve pounds and their lifespan can go up to a bit more than fifty years (Downing). Their geographic distribution is mainly the Neotropics of Central and South America, but they can also be found in other kinds of forest habitats…

However, researchers often discourage this since capuchin monkeys…

To start off with the monkey in the beginning of the film really made me think because at first glance it was so strange. I feel the purpose of the dead monkey in the film was to make the audience think. It was so strange it made me think because it just didn’t fit in the story at the first look unless they were going for some kind of David Lynch thing on just throwing something in the story that is weird just for the sakes of being different and strange. (Yes I know the movie was made way…

Monkeys live in lots of places around the world. And monkeys have to adapt to their environment by using their body parts. “Monkeys depend primarily on their eyes to gather information about their surroundings” (Monkey). There are some monkeys that use different body parts because they are in different environments.
