Overt menstruation is recorded in 48 species of primate, most of which are old world monkeys and apes (the group which includes humans). Other primates that overtly menstruate include a few species of new world monkeys and the Malayan flying lemur (Cynocephalus varregatus). Overt menstruation is also occurs in shrews, being reported in 10 species of insectivore from the genera Elephantulus, Erihaceus, Tana, and Tupaia. Other species for which overt menstruation has been reported include four species of bat (Carollia perspicillata, Desmodus rotundus, Glossophaga soricina, and Molossus ater) and a marsupial cat (Dasyurus viverrinus).

Yes all mammals do, the reproductive system is similar enough for this. Perhaps the emotional differences are not noticeable but the lining of the uterus seperates and is expelled just the same.

Yeah, they do have them, and they are noticeable. And all mammals breast feed (except maybe platypi and echidnae) I would post some links of pictures of ape's breasts, but I have a feeling someone will be looking over my shoulder at work right when I open one of those pics up. You can probably do an image search on Google or whatever and find pictures of it. Not while at work, of course.
