After looking at all kinds of pets, it is inevitable to have questions, why are few people willing to keep monkeys as pets? Logically speaking, monkeys are also considered "relatives" to humans.

Regardless of their spirituality, intelligence, and living habits, they are similar to humans. Even so, why are monkeys not popularized as the most conventional pet species?

There are many species of monkeys, and macaques are the most widely encountered in daily life.

The distribution of macaques is very wide, and groups of macaques can be seen in some natural scenic spots. Adult male macaques weigh around 8kg, while females weigh around 6kg.

The macaque has a prominent mouth, strong jaws, and sharp teeth, totaling 32 grams up and down.

Macaques are greedy and eager to fight. In addition to catching birds, earthworms and various small insects, they also eat fruits, but their habits are very poor.

They are thrown away while picking, which is low in utilization and highly destructive. If a group of macaques comes to the orchard , often with devastating effects on orchards.

As far as combat effectiveness is concerned, when encountering macaques in the wild, can humans defeat them with bare hands?

Since macaques are social animals, the most basic thing to tame them is to subdue them by force. However, in the wild, it is difficult for humans to defeat them with bare hands.

The modern macaque subfamily originated in Africa, and their macaque-like ancestors appeared in the fossil record at the end of the Miocene 15 million to 10 million years ago.

The distribution of macaques gradually spread north and east, reaching Europe in the Pliocene (about 5 million to 1.8 million years ago) and Asia in the Pleistocene (about 2 million years ago).

During the same period, they became extinct in sub-Saharan Africa, or evolved and evolved into several genera that live only in Africa today - baboons, vervet monkeys and mangabeys.In terms of genetic molecules and some anatomical details, North African macaques and Asian macaques seem to be different, and perhaps more primitive features remain in North African macaques.

The spread of vervet monkey communities in Africa is relatively recent, and it seems that they have only emerged as separate species since the recent ice age (a process we call speciation).

In Africa, the history of baboons is closely related to the history of grassland evolution. Five to two million years ago, the most common baboons were close relatives of today's lion-tailed baboons.

All macaques belong to a single genus Macaque, which is found throughout Asia except at high latitudes. In most areas there is only a single species with characteristics adapted to the previous environment.

One type of macaque that has survived in Africa, the North African macaque, has thick fur and no tail, features that allow it to survive the snowy winters of the Atlas Mountains.
