Everyone has now had time to see this quiz --- let's go into free-for-all mode (You may now answer more than 1 at a time)

Well, catwoman, I feel I have an unfair advantage here - but hey, I don't know all my relatives. So I'll start with me -

#12 - Chimpanzee

Haha, cous..

The last one is a Lemur, a primate from Madagascar with big wide eyes.

You're both right. Don't let it go to your head, but this one was done with you in mind 'couz!

17. Bonobo - a little smaller than 'couz and they do their hair a little differently too, Bonobo's have a central parting.

#22- orangutan (comes from the Malay for 'Man Of The Woods") - edited because of my bad spelling!

Well, gee, for once the cat's got my tongue. Thank you for thinking of me and all my relatives, catwoman.

#14 - Squirrel
The Squirrel monkey eats soft fruit, especially figs which make up 90% of their diet.

19- Gorilla- largest of the primates

All right again.

13- Gibbon. The smallest of the ape family and a resident of S.E. Asia.

#1 Angwantibo - A nocturnal, African cutie.

Two more down.

2- Capuchin- the "organ-grinder" monkey from South America, named for the resemblance of its coat pattern to the clothing of a monk. Perhaps the most intelligent of the New World primates.

Right on Cris!

8. langur

They are considered sacred in India,,,and are free to visit villages and towns, scavenge, and even raid crops when other foods are scarce!

18. drill - formerly found from Nigeria to Cameroon, but, because of hunting and deforestation, is now restricted to remote forest regions of Cameroon. Like the related mandrill, the drill is stout-bodied and has vividly colored buttocks. (totally unlike me, I may add- well the buttocks bit anyway! )

You are both right.

#9 Mangabey aka White-collared Mangabey for obvious reasons. The males do their utmost to rule the roost in their society, and form a hierarchy.

16 looks like rhesus monkey.

3. marmoset

the smallest monkey in the world,,,found in the Brazilian rainforest

All three are right.

24. Guenon

21- Lar, a type of gibbon. Gibbons, found in Southeast Asia, are the most atypical of the apes. Like other apeas, they are tailless, but they are adapted for a brachiating lifestyle and can even catch birds in flight as they jump from tree to tree.

#20 = Lion Tamarin, brom the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest.

#7 Howler monkey, back to 'couz again eh!

Howlers have a small patch of fur missing from the tip of their prehensile tails for extra grip, as do the others who have this ability.
