Just curious to know if a person can tell an age of a monkey? If so, how can you tell of an age of primates. In dogs and cats you can tell their age by their teeth.

Teeth work well in monkeys as well. There are also a number of clues in the bones, if you’re dealing with a dead animal. But often the easiest method is behavioral. A 6-month old capuchin money will still be very attached to its mother, whilea year-old monkey will be much more independent.
