Sling

What long arms I have, don't I? I am a swinging monkey and swing from branch to branch. Just take 3 very big steps: that's how far I can get in one swing. I live together with my wife. Some families also have young of different ages, but the group never grows larger than 6 monkeys.

Singers and singers

We use our singing talent to let our neighbors know where we are going to eat, because high in the peaks of the tropical rainforest, we can hear each other better than we can see. Each monkey's voice sounds different. Nice to hear, but stay out of the way, or there will be fights.
