Are there any species of carnivorous monkeys or apes?

Answer 1

No. Like humans, all monkeys and apes are herbivores. The relatively newly discovered fact that some apes have begun killing and eating others apes does not make them carnivores.

If by carnivorous, meaning "only meat eating", then no. Most apes, while primarily feeding on vegetation, can also eat bugs and meat, i.e. omnivores by taxonomy. The greater question is are any apes (including homo sapiens) purely vegetarian? Gorillas are only known to eat vegetation, orangutans add insects to that diet, and chimps even kill and eat smaller mammals. While apes could survive on a purely vegetarian diet, their anatomies could not sustain a purely carnal diet.

The only exception:

There is one species of purely carnivorous primate. It's called a Tarsier.

They're categorized as a Haplorhine (new and old world monkeys, apes, and humans) though were previously categorized as Strepsirhines, (which are lemurs and lorises).

They are nocturnal by nature, and only live in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. By what you consider to be carniverous, they might not be, but by actual definition, because they only eat insects, frogs, and reptiles.

Answer 2

No, there are no known species of carnivorous monkeys or apes. Primates are primarily herbivores or omnivores, with the majority of their diets consisting of fruits, leaves, and insects.

Answer 3

There are about 260 known living species of monkey. They belong to the Order Primates.

For example, the Common Squirrel Monkey = Saimiri sciureus
