Monkeys are very interesting animals. They happen to be very closely related to us (as well as apes.) Monkeys are very special to our ecosystem and are very quickly going extinct. We need to try to save these primates so that they will still be an important part of our ecosystem for years to come.
Some Monkey Facts are...
- they have long tails for grasping thick branches
- long arms and legs for swinging threw the trees
- very cute!!!!!!!!
- related to the apes and to the lemurs
- live in many rain forests/savannas
- are not able to leave their mother for many years
- live in groups
- love to climb trees
- make their homes in trees so that they can be away from predators
- lots of species
- all going extinct
