A different species of monkeys, the wild Campbell's monkeys have also been known to produce a sequence of vocalization that require a specific order to elicit a specific behaviour in other monkeys. Changing the order of the sounds changes the resulting behaviour, or meaning, of the call.

The order Primates consists of 505 extant species belonging to 81 genera. This does not include hybrid species or extinct prehistoric species. Modern molecular studies indicate that the 81 genera can be grouped into 16 families; these families are divided between two named suborders and are grouped in those suborders into named clades, and some of these families are subdivided into named ...
The authors conclude that monkeys can represent the numerosities 1 to 9 at least on an ordinal scale. [109] Ants are able to use quantitative values and transmit this information. [110] [111] For instance, ants of several species are able to estimate quite precisely numbers of encounters with members of other colonies on their feeding territories.
Scientists have recently discovered a new primate species in Myanmar’s central forest. However, the Popa langur, named after nearby Mount Popa, is tragically already on the verge of extinction.
For example, dogs (a social species) have a higher EQ than cats (a mostly solitary species). Animals with very large flock size and/or complex social systems consistently score high EQ, with dolphins and orcas having the highest EQ of all cetaceans , [ 34 ] and humans with their extremely large societies and complex social life topping the list ...
