Monkeys

Monkeys keep them selves clean by grooming each other. Monkeys live in trees, grasslands, high plains, forests and mountains. Monkeys could be extinct in the next 60 years because of habitat loss, especially the ones that live in tropical forests. Monkeys eat fruit, plants animals and some eat dirt. Howler monkeys spend 80% of their time resting. Howler monkeys are the loudest monkeys their howl can be heard 2 miles in the forest and 3 miles in the open. There are about 260 species of monkeys in the world. The pigmy marmoset has a body thats only 100 cm long making it the smallest monkey in the world. Monkeys can curl their tail around a branch to help them balance while hunting for insects and nuts.
