Monkeys

Monkeys are awesome. Seriously, who doesn't like monkeys? In taxonomy, monkeys are classified as primates and members of the simian infraorder. According to the folks over at Wikipedia, there are 260 known living species of monkey. Some of the more recognizable species of monkeys include baboons, mandrills, spider monkeys, capuchin monkeys and howler monkeys. Monkeys are typically distinguished from apes due to the fact that they have tails, whereas apes do not.

Monkeys have appeared in hundreds of films, stretching across all genres. They have also been anthropomorphized in various animated projects such as the works produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Believe men when I say, a sword-wielding monkey is a truly terrifying sight to behold.
