Nature and science facts about the monkey
Like people, a monkey has hands and feet that can grip objects, so it climbs trees well and picks up food to eat. Some monkeys even hang from branches with a tail that curls around and grips objects like a hand (prehensile tail). Living together in groups, it's a highly social animal that shares its feelings through many expressions and sounds. It eats fruit, leaves, and insects, and it grooms one another's fur to strengthen friendships.
