Bolivian Squirrel Monkey One of the smallest of monkeys is also one of the most aggressive. Living in troops numbering up to 100, they attack en-masse. Its a scary sight. They also have small monkey syndrome and will attack pretty much anything.

    If it doesn't have a tail, it's not a monkey, it's an ape Posted 12 years ago
