A:Answer It depends a lot on the species, but here’s a clear breakdown
Small monkeys (like marmosets or tamarins): usually 10–15 years
Medium-sized monkeys (like capuchins or macaques): around 20–30 years
Larger monkeys (like baboons): can live 30–40 years
In captivity, monkeys often live longer than in the wild because they have steady food, no predators, and medical care. In the wild, their lifespan is usually shorter due to disease, injuries, and predators.
