Characteristics

Cebid monkeys are arboreal animals that only rarely travel on the ground. Arboreal is a word meaning "related to or resembling trees" They are generally small monkeys, ranging in size from the Pygmy Marmoset, with a head-body length of 17 to 19 cm, and a weight of 120 to 190 grams, to the Brown Capuchin, with a body length of 33 to 56 cm, and a weight of 2. The Pygmy Marmoset ( Callithrix (Cebuella pygmaea) is a Monkey native to the Rainforest canopies of western Brazil, southeastern The Tufted Capuchin ( Cebus apella) also known as Brown Capuchin or Black-capped Capuchin is a New World Primate from South 5 to 3. 9 kilograms. They are somewhat variable in form and coloration, but all have the wide, flat, noses typical of New World Monkeys.

They are omnivorous, mostly eating fruit and insects, although the proportions of these foods vary greatly between species. Omnivores (from Latin omne all everything vorare to devour are species that eat both Plants and Animals as their primary They have the dental formula:

2. Dentition is the development of Teeth and their arrangement in the Mouth. 1. 3. 2-3
2. 1. 3. 2-3

Females give birth to one or two young after a gestation period of between 130 and 170 days, depending on species. Gestation is the carrying of an Embryo or Fetus inside a Female Viviparous Animal. They are social animals, living in groups of between five and forty individuals, with the smaller species typically forming larger groups. They are generally diurnal in habit. [2]

Classification

Previously, New World monkeys were divided between the Callitrichidae and this family, but modern classifications place the genera from Callitrichidae as a subfamily in Cebidae (named Callitrichinae), while moving other genera into the other families. The Callitrichinae (synonym Hapalinae are a subfamily within the family Cebidae, one of the four families of New World monkeys. A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic In Biological classification, family ( Latin The Callitrichinae (synonym Hapalinae are a subfamily within the family Cebidae, one of the four families of New World monkeys. As it is most widely recognised today, Cebidae includes six genera organised into three subfamilies, though one of these genera is currently purely formal in that it contains only a single species. In Biological classification, family ( Latin [1]
