Have you ever noticed how  monkeys in pictures usually appear to be munching on bananas? Actually, bananas are not consumed by wild monkeys. The majority of monkeys in the wild are omnivores, meaning they consume both vegetables and meat. And the majority of what monkeys eat is the same. Although there may be minor variations depending on their location, all monkeys consume fruits, leaves, seeds, nuts, flowers, vegetables, and insects.

What  wild monkeys consume:

Bananas, mangoes, fleshy fruits including berries, pomes, and drupes, as well as other fruit are among the frugivorous and omnivorous species.

Insectivorous, omnivorous, and obligate carnivorous organisms eat Insects, snails, and other invertebrates .

Bird eggs, birds, lizards, bats, squirrels, and other tiny vertebrates are consumed by  obligate carnivores.

As omnivores, monkeys may consume both plants and animals. It's crucial to remember that the diets of the bulk of monkey species lean primarily toward plant materials.

The Old World and New World monkeys are the two groups into which monkeys are divided. While New World monkeys are only found in the Americas, Old World monkeys are native to Asia, Europe, and Africa.Monkey diet differ by types of monkeys .

Because of their large noses, which may be up to 10 cm long, proboscis monkeys are sometimes known as long-nosed monkeys.Fruits, leaves, and seeds are what the proboscis monkey eats. It occasionally adds insects to its diet.

Pygmy marmosets consume fruit, nectar, and tree sap.The pygmy marmoset is one of the tiniest primates .These little orange-brown monkeys hardly fit in a human hand and are extremely small.

Mandrill eats everything. It eats rodents, scorpions, termites, ants, spiders, small birds, eggs, and fruits, seeds, leaves, and stems.The biggest species of monkeys are mandrills.

In India, monkeys are revered as depictions of the Hindu god Hanuman. Food is provided to them out of respect and anxiety about being assaulted. They are currently acting in a very bold and defiant manner around people, leaping, exploring, interacting with, and engaging in combat on roofs, as well as hanging around close to temples. Tamarin monkeys can be seen in cities in Colombia. Japanese macaques can be found in Jigokudani, Japan. Because of their exceptional capacity to withstand extreme cold and take advantage of the hot springs there, they are known as Snow Monkeys.

Although the majority of monkey species either occasionally or never consume meat, meat can provide significant calorie and protein benefits in the short term. More meat is devoured by chimpanzees than by any other primate, both in terms of variety and quantity. The most common meat-eaters are capuchins, baboons, bonobos, and chimpanzees, whereas blue monkeys, callitrichids, and squirrel monkeys are less prevalent. A monkey has a fast metabolism, thus they eat about six times a day.

Monkeys are rarely given bananas, even in zoos. Since bananas are planted by people rather than growing naturally, wild monkeys are unable to consume them. Even a zoo in England has decided to stop feeding bananas to its monkeys because they are overly sweet and contain more sugar than other foods. Wild bananas are consumed by gorillas and monkeys, but not as frequently as most people think. The majority of monkeys do like bananas once they get used to them, but not in the wild. Wild bananas feature a small amount of edible fruit and many hard seeds.

The diet of rhesus monkeys varies. These monkeys eat mostly fruit and other plant material because they dwell on trees. The majority of this species of monkey's diet consists of insects, spiders, crustaceans, and bird eggs.

In marshes, this type of monkey also consumes fish. Old World monkeys include the rhesus macaque, also called the rhesus monkey. The rhesus monkey's typical diet includes insects and small mammals, as well as roots, fruit, seeds, and bark. Rhesus monkeys can live in a variety of climates and settings while still eating. Its natural food consists of fruits, seeds, roots, plants, herbs, and insects.

Fruits similar to the bananas we adore so dearly are consumed by monkeys, but they differ significantly from those found in supermarkets and intended for human consumption.
