How many living primates are there?

It's difficult to give an exact number for how many living primates there are, as the number is constantly changing due to factors like:

* Habitat loss and degradation: This is a major threat to many primate species.

* Hunting and poaching: Some primates are hunted for food or for the illegal pet trade.

* Disease: Primates are susceptible to a number of diseases, including those that can be transmitted from humans.

However, we can say that there are over 500 species of living primates.

Here's a breakdown:

* Monkeys: Around 260 species

* Apes: Around 24 species

* Lemurs: Around 100 species

* Lorises and Galagos: Around 20 species

While this gives a general idea, it's crucial to remember that many primate species are facing extinction.
