Hector Barbossa's pet monkey named "Jack" after Jack Sparrow.

Hector Barbossa's pet monkey named "Jack" after Jack Sparrow.

"He's got the medallion! Follow that monkey!"
―Jack Sparrow to Will Turner, on Jack the Monkey[src]

A monkey is any cercopithecoid (Old World monkey) or platyrrhine (New World monkey) primate. All primates that are not prosimians or apes are monkeys. The 264 known extant monkey species represent two of the three groupings of simian primates (the third group being the 22 species of apes). Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent and, unlike apes, have tails. Captain Hector Barbossa was the best known owner of pet monkeys, most notably a monkey named "Jack" after his old captain, Jack Sparrow,[1][2][3] following the mutiny on the Black Pearl.[4]
