Platyrrhines, also known as New World monkeys, are a group of primates found primarily in Central and South America. They are characterized by their flat noses, which have nostrils that are widely spaced. This group includes species like the capuchin monkey and the howler monkey, known for their social behavior and vocalizations. Platyrrhines typically have prehensile tails, allowing them to grasp branches and navigate their forest habitats with ease. These monkeys are generally smaller than their Old World counterparts, the catarrhines, which include apes and baboons. Platyrrhines are known for their diverse diets, which can include fruits, leaves, and insects. Their adaptability to various environments makes them fascinating subjects for study
