v. monkeya monkey is any member of two of the three groupings of simian primates. these two groupings are the new world and old world monkeys. because of their similarity to monkeys, apes such as chimpanzees and gibbons are sometimes incorrectly called monkeys. also, a few monkey species have the word “ape.” in their common name. because they are not a single coherent group, monkeys do not have any important characteristics that they all share and are not shared with the remaining group of simians, the apes.monkeys range in size from the pygmy marmoset, at 10 cm (4 inch) long (plus tail) and 120 g (4 oz) in weight to the male mandrill, almost 1 metre (3 ft) long and weighing 35 kg (75 lb). some are arboreal (living in trees), some live on the savanna; some eat fruit, some eat leaves, and some eat insects; although most have tails (sometimes prehensile), others do not; some have trichromatic colour vision like that of humans, others are dichromats or monochromats. although both the new and old world monkeys, like the apes, have forward facing eyes, the faces of old world and new world monkeys look very different. to understand the monkeys, therefore, it is necessary to study the characteristics of the different groups individually. section 3: words and expressions from unit 4 wildlife protectionenemyn.  1. any hostile group of people: he viewed lawyers as the real enemy. 2. an opposing military force : the enemy attacked at dawn. reserve  v.  1. arrange for and reserve (something for someone else) in advance: reserve me a seat on a flight. 2. obtain or arrange (for oneself) in advance: we managed to reserve a table at maxim’s. 3. give or assign a share of money or time to a particular person or causehunt  n.   an instance of searching for something: the hunt for submarines. v.  chase away, with as with force: they hunted the unwanted immigrants out of the neighborhood. v.   1. pursue for food or sport (as of wild animals): goering often hunted wild boars in poland. 2. search (an area) for prey: the king used to hunt these forests. 3. seek, search for: she hunted for her reading glasses but was unable to locate them. 4. oscillate about a desired speed, position, or state to an undesirable extent: the oscillator hunts about the correct frequency. 5. pursue or chase relentlessly: the hunters traced the deer into the woods. wild n.   a wild primitive state untouched by civilization: he lived in the wild. adj.  1. in a state of extreme emotion: wild with anger. 2. produced without being planted or without human labor: wild strawberries. 3. in a natural state; not tamed or domesticated or cultivated: wild geese. 4. marked by extreme lack of restraint or control: wild ideas. 5. not subjected to control or restraint: a piano played with a wild exuberance- louis bromfield. 6. deviating widely from an intended course: a wild bullet. 7.
