      Monkeys and apes come in

       many different sizes and colors.

       Some are big. Others are very

       small. Some have red fur. Others

       have black. What do they have

       in common? Monkeys and

       apes are both primates. Their

       eyes face forward, and they

       have five fingers on each hand.

       Usually, monkeys are smaller

       than apes. Also, a lot of monkeys

       have tails, but apes do not.

      Most apes and monkeys live in

       warm or tropical forests. During

       the day, they look for food to eat.

       At night, most monkeys and apes

       sleep in cozy nests up in the trees.

      Monkeys like warm weather.

       They live in Africa, Asia, Central

       America, and South America.

      The biggest and most colorful

       monkey is the mandrill. Mandrills

       live in the African rainforest.
