monkeys

monkeys belong to a pack of mammals called primates, along with apes, gorillas, human, lemurs, and lorises. habitat is another word for where something lives, and the habitat of a monkey is normally in trees, and their hands have fingers and their feet have toes that are all meant for gripping branches to climb trees. most monkeys also have tails. monkeys (from the Americans)  live in treesand often have muscular tails that can grip like a hand. these tails are described as prehensile. i think monkeys are a cool type of primate.
