The Difference Between Old World and New World Monkeys
What is the difference between the old world and new world monkeys? Old world monkeys are found in Africa, Asia and Europe, while new world monkeys exist in south and central America. First of all, I describe how new world monkeys made it from Africa to America then I get into the differences. Old World Monkeys consist of species like Macaques, Baboons, Mandrills and Mangabeys. New world monkeys are species like Marmosets, Howler Monkeys, Spider monkeys and Night monkeys. New world monkeys have prehensile tails to help with an arboreal lifestyle and old world monkeys have ischial callosities to fit their ground-based lifestyle. In new world monkeys, the dads play a big role in infant care, whereas in old world monkeys these jobs are generally left to the females.

New World Monkeys of Macarena, Colombia
Hosted by Prof. Junichiro Itani, Prof. Kosei Izawa, and Akisato Nishimura
(Translation and voice over by Michael A Huffman)
This is a documentary from a multi-part special series called “Human - In Search of the Roots of Humankind". This was originally produced by the University of the Air in Japanese as borrowed video course material. Later the scripts were translated into and narrated by Michael A Huffman (Kyoto University) in collaboration with Professor Itani to share the information with an international audience. The species presented in this series represent some of the many important field sites featuring a diverse range of primates species around the world pioneered by Japanese primatologists of Kyoto University. Prof Itani, featured here toward the end of his career introduces ...

16 Strangest Monkey Species On Earth
From red-skulled creatures and howlers … to primates with enormous noses ... Here are 16 of the strangest monkey species on Earth!
Subscribe to Epic Wildlife http://goo.gl/6rzs5u
#16 Emperor Tamarins
The story goes that this particular species of Tamarin was so-named due to an alleged resemblance to German emperor Wilhelm the Second. We’re not 100-percent sure about that. Regardless, these small New World monkeys definitely have a singular appearance with that extreme handlebar moustache.
#15 Mantled Howlers
At some 22 pounds (10 kg) these critters from Central and South America rank as one of the largest monkeys within their range. Given their size it’s interesting to note that they are the only Central American monkeys known to consume mass quantities of leaves.

#16 Emperor Tamarins
The story goes that this particular species of Tamarin was so-named due to an alleged resemblance to German emperor Wilhelm the Second. We’re not 100-percent sure about that. Regardless, these small New World monkeys definitely have a singular appearance with that extreme handlebar moustache.
#15 Mantled Howlers
At some 22 pounds (10 kg) these critters from Central and South America rank as one of the largest monkeys within their range. Given their size it’s interesting to note that they are the only Central American monkeys known to consume mass quantities of leaves.
#14 Red-Shanked Douc Langur
Prior to 1967, these animals had never been studied. Native to Vietnam, Thailand, and other countries of Indochina, they occupy habitats ranging from rainforests to mountainous terrain rising some 6,600 feet high (2,000 m).
#13 Gelada Baboons
These Old World Monkeys are found in the highlands of Ethiopia, often at altitudes exceeding 14,000 feet (4,267 m). And that’s the only place where they occur in the wild. They’re often called baboons, although experts say they actually regard them as members of their own genus.
#12 Mandrills
These animals resemble baboons, and were once classified as such. Now they occupy a separate genus, along with one other species. Weighing more than 80 pounds (37 kg), Mandrills are the world’s heaviest living monkeys.
#11 Tibetan Macaque
As the common name suggests, these large primates are found in Tibet. But they’ve also been observed in northwest China and areas of northern India. Weighing about 43 pounds (20 kg) and 28 inches long (71 cm), they’re among the largest monkeys in Asia.
#10 Bald Uakari
These monkeys from the Amazon River Basin are bald by virtue of genetics. But they actually do have some long hair, although none of it sprouts on their head! The vivid red coloration makes for a startling sight. It results from a lack of pigmentation. along with blood vessels that are located close to their skin.
#9 De Brazza’s Monkey
Weighing about 15 pounds (7 kg), males of this species are about twice as large as females. The Old World monkeys are one of the most widespread tree-dwelling primates in Africa. Named for a European explorer, their size and coloration wouldn’t seem suitable for camouflage. Yet, these animals are very adept at staying hidden from humans and predators.
#8 Golden Langur
One of India's most endangered primate species can be found within a 60-mile (155 km) area in the country’s northeastern region. Its golden coat creates a memorable contrast to its ebony face, but the fur changes color with the seasons.
#7 Celebes Crested Macaques
These Old World critters are found in Sulawesi, also known as Celebes. They also occur on smaller islands nearby, and all of them are listed as critically endangered. At around 23 pounds (10 kg), it’s one of the smaller Macaque species, and spends most of the day foraging on the ground.
#6 White Faced Saki
One of the more distinctive faces on our list belongs to these primates found in South America. They stay on the ground while foraging. But at night, they’ll sleep in trees that rise some 66 feet high (20 m) where leaves hide them from predators. They have a varied diet, consisting of fruits, insects, and small birds.
#5 Golden Snub Nosed Monkeys
These animals thrive at elevations of around 11,500 feet (3,500 m) above sea level. At those extremes they have adapted to survive frigid temperatures better than any other non-human primate known to date. They’re endemic to forested regions of southwest China, and are not often glimpsed outside of their range.
#4 Lesula Monkey
These primates weren’t discovered in rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo until 2007. Five years later they were officially confirmed as only the second new species of African monkey found since 1984.
#3 Hamadryas Baboons
These primates are also called Sacred baboons because they were once revered by the Ancient Egyptians as a god of learning. These days, they’re no longer found in Egypt. But the hardy animals do occur in Ethiopia and Saudi Arabia among other regions.
#2 Pygmy Marmoset Monkeys
There are 22 species of marmoset monkeys, and this is the smallest one. And with adults rarely weighing more than 3.5 ounces (100 grams), Pygmy Marmosets are recognized as the smallest true monkeys in the entire world.
#1 Proboscis Monkeys
These Old World monkeys are endemic to the island of Borneo in southeast Asia. Since proboscis is another term for ‘nose’, you might say their distinguishing physical trait is as plain as the nose on their face.

FYI: We try to leave jargon out of our videos, but if you want to learn more about this topic, here are some handy keywords to get your googling started:
Prehensile Tail: An animal tail that can grasp or hold objects. A wide range of animals have prehensile tails, including mammals (like opossums and kinkajous), reptiles (like chameleons), amphibians (like salamanders), and fish (seahorses).
Old World Monkeys (Cercopithecidae): A family of primates native to Africa and Asia that includes baboons, guenons and macaques – all of which have non-prehensile tails.
New World Monkeys (Platyrrhini): A family of primates native to Central and South America that includes spider monkeys, howlers, and capuchins – all of which have prehensile tails.
Prehensile tails evolved twice in new world monkeys: In atelines (spider monkey and howlers) the prehensile tail tip is like a finger and incredibly dextrous. In cebines (capuchin monkeys) the tip is furry and not quite as dextrous.
Species featured in this video:
- Spider Monkey (and Diddy Kong!)
- Ficus insipida (tripical fig tree)
- Barbary Macaque (from Northern Africa)
- Rhesus Macaque(from India)
- Opossum
- Chameleon
- Salamander (Aneides lugubris)
- Seahorses (actually Horsea!)

Almost all mammals with prehensile tails live in the neotropics because the forest is different there.

FYI: We try to leave jargon out of our videos, but if you want to learn more about this topic, here are some handy keywords to get your googling started:
Prehensile Tail: An animal tail that can grasp or hold objects. A wide range of animals have prehensile tails, including mammals (like opossums and kinkajous), reptiles (like chameleons), amphibians (like salamanders), and fish (seahorses).
Old World Monkeys (Cercopithecidae): A family of primates native to Africa and Asia that includes baboons, guenons and macaques – all of which have non-prehensile tails.
New World Monkeys (Platyrrhini): A family of primates native to Central and South America that includes spider monkeys, howlers, and capuchins – all of which have prehensile tails.
Prehensile tails evolved twice in new world monkeys: In atelines (spider monkey and howlers) the prehensile tail tip is like a finger and incredibly dextrous. In cebines (capuchin monkeys) the tip is furry and not quite as dextrous.
Species featured in this video:
- Spider Monkey (and Diddy Kong!)
- Ficus insipida (tripical fig tree)
- Barbary Macaque (from Northern Africa)
- Rhesus Macaque(from India)
- Opossum
- Chameleon
- Salamander (Aneides lugubris)
- Seahorses (actually Horsea!)
