Although the majority of monkeys live in tropical rain forests, some have adapted to live in the open land of the savannas. The patas monkey, the vervet monkey and some species of baboon all live primarily in open brush, and each has evolved to their unconventional primate habitat in different ways.aboons, some of the largest monkeys in the world, also form complex troops of up to hundreds of baboons. Four species live on the savannas. These four species -- the Guinea, chacma, olive and yellow baboons -- are often referred to as a singular species, the savanna baboon, by some biologists.
Woolly Spider Monkey Mammal. Also known as muriqui, the woolly spider monkey is the largest primate in the Americas as well as one of the most endangered in the world. With a prehensile (grasping) tail and long fingers that they hook over branches, they swing acrobatically through the forest canopy. Woolly spider monkeys spend most of their time high in the canopy and they drink water that collects in the leaves. They live peacefully together in troops of 5 to 25, generally having an equal number of males and females.
