New World Monkey Social Divisions

cute monkeys

New World monkeys are the smaller ones in the primate family. They divide themselves by social groups. When it comes to a New World monkey, their social structure is dependent on which specific species the monkey is. There are a lot of groups that live with a monogamous pair of monkeys and their offspring much like human families do. However, there are some species that live in an extremely large community of hundreds of monkeys. These communities are typically made up of mostly females and a few males. It all really depends on the specific species of the monkey how they live socially.
