A group of monkeys is commonly referred to as a ‘troop’ or a ‘barrel’. The term ‘troop’ is more frequently used and is recognized widely. Monkeys are social animals and often live in groups, which helps them protect each other from predators and find food more efficiently. The size of a troop can vary depending on the species of monkey, ranging from a few individuals to several dozen. Living in groups also allows monkeys to establish social hierarchies and maintain complex social structures.
