MONKEY


MONKEY



The first thing comes to my mine about monkey is its very naughty pet and also its dangerous. But Monkeys are very intelligent. Monkeys range in size from the Pygmy Marmoset, at 140 to 160 millimeters (5–6 in) long (plus tail) and 120 to 140 grams (4–5 oz) in weight, to the male Mandrill, almost 1 meter (3.3 ft) long and weighing 35 kilograms (77 lb).(from Wikipedia).

Monkey love to eat banana, fruit, leaves, seeds, nuts, flowers and some monkey also eat small animals such as spiders. Other than that we also get benefit from monkey now we practice of eating monkey brains there is a belief that eating the monkeys' brain can cure some of specific sick. And also A number of countries have used monkeys as part of their space exploration programmers’ including the United States and France. The first monkey in space was Albert II who flew in the US-launched V-2 rocket on June 14, 1949. Some of monkeys body parts are similar to human for example the fingers are almost the same to humans.

Monkey also play such a big role in religion. Hanuman, a prominent divine entity in Hinduism, is a monkey-like humanoid. Hanuman's exploits are much celebrated in a variety of religious and cultural traditions not only in Hinduism. Monkey is also one of the Three Senseless Creatures, symbolizing greed, with the tiger representing anger and the deer lovesickness. So monkey is not just an a animal.
