New World Monkeys are a group of primates found primarily in Central and South America. They belong to the infraorder Platyrrhini and are characterized by their flat noses and prehensile tails, which can grasp objects. Common species include the capuchin, howler, and squirrel monkeys. These monkeys typically live in trees and are social animals, often found in groups. They have a diverse diet that includes fruits, leaves, and insects. Unlike their relatives, the Old World Monkeys, New World Monkeys have a different dental formula and exhibit a variety of unique adaptations to their environments.
