Old World monkeys and apes are in their own subdivision known as Catarrhines. (New World monkeys are Platyrrhines.) Cattarhines are more terrestrial than Platyrrhines. Cattarhines are even further divided into two superfamilies: Hominoidea (apes) and Cercopithecidae (Old World monkeys). Old World monkeys are divided into cercopithecines and colobines. Cercopithecines are more omnivorous and more terrestrial. They have cheek pouches that enable them to store food within their cheeks. Sexual dimorphism is more prevalent in these than the colobines. They are found mostly in Africa.Colobines eat mostly leaves. They are known as the "leaf eaters". Most are quadrupedal and have ischial callosities, or a callused buttocks. All Old World monkeys live in large social groups. There are many males and many females in each group.
