Monkeys

My name is Mick! I am a Spider monkey. You will find me often living near the water in the forests. My friend the Orangutan has a bright orange colored fur. We get in a social group tend to contain young of different ages. We can hold on to branches with our hands and feet. My other friend, witch is a Squirrel monkey is arboreal. Our brains are less complex. We all stay in one group to search for food. If we live in the wild, our lifespan is about 27 years. My sister is able to give birth between the ages of 4 and 5 years old. There are over 130 species of us. For us, Juveniles at the age of 24-50 months old. Our fur is thick and soft in texture. My brother is usually larger than my sister, my mom, and I. Our diet includes various fruits and berries. Plus, we have varied diets. My mother can only have one baby at a time. My mom did not breed when she was taking care of my sister. She can breed at anytime of the year as a rule. Our head is usually dark in color. We eat insects to stay alive, just like we eat berries and fruit to stay alive! That’s why we are tall for just having to jump to high places, and strong to hold on to a branch and to swing back and forth! If we weren’t all of those things, than we wouldn’t be able to hold on to branches or swing on them from branch to branch! If any of us have tails that can hold on to branches, they are called Prehensile Tails. We have to feed on our mother’s milk for a period from a few weeks to two years. When we are a baby and we get a little older, we ride on our mother’s back, wrapping our tail around her tail for security reasons. We will play with others their age or with adults. Some of us have special tails! They are ridged on the underside and very flexible, so much so they can grab a tree branch or pick up something as small as a peanut. We have wide circular nostrils and long tails, witch are prehensile or semi-prehensile. Prehensile tails can be called an extra hand that helps a monkey swing, and grasp thing. We also have slender bodies and limbs with long narrow hands to grab things that are really big. Plus, we have many different adaptations. We don’t know why, but our future is uncertain due to a rapid habitat loss. The skin on our face is cream colored when we are born and it turns black by the time we reach the age of six months. We are found in two main regions of the world; we are found in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. Capuchin monkeys inhabit Central and South America. Most old world monkeys have curved nostrils set close together. Maternal care is prolonged in Black Spider Monkeys live in many other monkey species. The skin on our body is black in some areas. The rest of the areas are a different color. We start breeding when it reaches the age of 5 years old. A single baby monkey is born about 20 weeks after mating. For instance, the Black Spider Monkey is rather slow to mature. Squirrel Monkey are often describe as one of the most peaceful primates. We range in size from the Pygmy Marmoset to the Moresque monkeys of Brazil. I live in South America right now. A tropical forest and subtropics are the natural habitat of monkeys. Due to Year-round warm temperatures, monkeys find their necessary food supply. Our thumbs are not opposable and their nostrils are further apart. Sometimes we follow Cebus monkeys around to find fruits! The just don’t know that we are there with them. y friend (the Squirrel monkey) has a short brightly colored fur. For our 4 months of life, the baby monkey clings tightly to its mother’s abdomen. My brother and sister is a Spider Monkey, and Spider Monkeys have no thumbs on their hands, when they walk, they have to carry their hands above their head, or they will drag them on the ground. My mother gave birth to my sister at the wet season, and there is no deficiency food. My mom normally will give birth to a single baby at a time. We don’t have cheek pouches and buttock pads. A newborn monkey is fully dependable on their mothers for food and security.
