What monkeys are insectivore?

While many monkeys are primarily frugivores (fruit eaters) or omnivores, there are a few species that are primarily insectivorous, meaning they eat insects. Here are some examples:

* Marmosets: These small New World monkeys are known for their specialized diet of insects, especially tree sap. They have sharp claws and teeth well-suited for extracting insects from crevices and holes.

* Tamarins: Similar to marmosets, tamarins are small New World monkeys that often supplement their diet with insects.

* Bushbabies: These nocturnal primates are not technically monkeys, but they are closely related. They are primarily insectivorous, but also eat fruits, gums, and small vertebrates.

* Tarsiers: These nocturnal primates are also not monkeys, but they are known for their large eyes and insect-catching prowess.

It's important to note that even these "insectivore" monkeys may occasionally eat other foods like fruits or small vertebrates.

Overall, insectivory is not a common dietary strategy among monkeys, but some species have adapted to specialize in this niche.
