Monkey Business “whoop… whoop… whoop!” The branches shake and dark objects scatter across the treetops. If you are standing in the tropical forest you probably just heard monkeys over your head. Agile and acrobatic monkeys easily leap through the forest but are often difficult to see and study. Most monkeys live in tropical regions in the Americas, Africa, and Asia and spend much of their lives in treetops. Monkeys belong to a larger group of mammals called primates. Primates have large brains, grasping hands and include lemurs, apes and humans. Like other primates, monkeys are very intelligent and curious and like you, have forward-facing eyes for great depth perception. There are more species of monkeys than apes. Monkeys and apes are both primates, just like humans. Can you tell which one is a monkey? |
