Monkeys are intriguing creatures that have captivated human interest for centuries. From their playful nature to their remarkable intelligence, there is always something fascinating to learn about these charismatic animals. Among the most endearing and adorable of all monkeys are their babies, commonly known as baby monkeys. These pint-sized primates are not only incredibly cute but also possess unique characteristics that set them apart from their adult counterparts.

A rehabilitation and release program for over 500 vervet monkeys.

The Vervet Monkey Foundation (VMF) is a non-profit organization established in 1993. The centre is based in Tzaneen in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. They rehabilitate and provide sanctuary to over 600 primates, orphaned, injured, abused, ex-laboratory or unwanted pets. Thanks to their work, there is much greater understanding of the vervet monkey now, and they are no longer classified as a “nuisance” animal in South Africa. Visit Website.

The New World monkeys are the five families of primates that are found in the tropical regions of Mexico, Central and South America: Callitrichidae, Cebidae, Aotidae, Pitheciidae, and Atelidae. The five families are ranked together as the Ceboidea (/səˈbɔɪdi.ə/), the only extant superfamily in the parvorder Platyrrhini (/plætɪˈraɪnaɪ/).[3]

Monkey is a common name that may refer to most mammals of the infraorder Simiiformes, also known as simians. Traditionally, all animals in the group now known as simians are counted as monkeys except the apes. Thus monkeys, in that sense, constitute an incomplete paraphyletic grouping; however, in the broader sense based on cladistics, apes (Hominoidea) are also included, making the terms monkeys and simians synonyms in regard to their scope.

Banana | Description, History, Cultivation, Nutrition, Benefits, & Facts | Britannica
banana, fruit of the genus Musa, of the family Musaceae, one of the most important fruit crops of the world. The banana is grown in the tropics, and, though it is most widely consumed in those regions, it is valued worldwide for its flavour, nutritional value, and availability throughout the year. Cavendish, or dessert, bananas are most commonly eaten fresh, though they may be fried or mashed and chilled in pies or puddings. They may also be used to flavour muffins, cakes, or breads. Cooking varieties, or plantains, are starchy rather than sweet and are grown extensively as a staple food  source in tropical regions; they are cooked when ripe or immature. A ripe fruit contains as much as 22 percent of  carbohydrate and is high in dietary fibre, potassium, manganese, and vitamins B6  and C.
