Old World monkey: Difference between revisions

The '''Old World monkeys''' or '''Cercopithecidae''' are a group of [[primate]]s, falling in the [[Taxonomic rank|superfamily]] '''Cercopithecoidea''' in the [[clade]] [[Catarrhini]]. The Old World monkeys are native to [[Africa]] and [[Asia]] today, inhabiting a range of environments from tropical [[rain forest]] to [[savanna]], [[scrubland]], and mountainous terrain, and are also known from [[Europe]] in the fossil record. However, a (possibly introduced) free-roaming [[Gibraltar Barbary Macaques|group of monkeys still survives]] in [[Gibraltar]] (Europe) to this day. TheyOld World monkeys include many of the most familiar species of non-human primates such as [[baboon]]s and [[macaque]]s.
