Do monkeys store food in their rectum?

No, monkeys do not store food in their rectum. That is a misconception that likely comes from the fact that some animals, like hamsters and squirrels, store food in their cheek pouches.

Monkeys, like most other mammals, have a digestive system that processes food and eliminates waste through the rectum. They don't have the physical capacity or biological adaptations to store food there.
