Monkeys and apes

The Titi-monkey lives in South America.

























Monkeys and apes
Have two unique characteristics
Among animals:
Hands that can grab
And eyes that face straight ahead.
Foreward facing eyes allow them
To see precise distances
As they jump and grab at branches,
Which is useful for animals
That hang out in trees!

Hamadryas Baboons


Hamadryas Baboons have thin coats
That keep them cool
As they forage for food
In dry African gorges.
They live in the semi-desert areas of Africa.


Macaques in Japan


Japanese macaques live in the snowy regions of Japan
And have thick coats of hair to keep them warm.
