Monkeys can run circles around other people with ease. They are curious and clever people who catch on quickly to most anything. Monkey people generally can accomplish any given task. They appreciate difficult or challenging work as it stimulates them and makes them think. 

Years of the Monkey  Monkeys Years are ninth in the cycle following the Sheep Years, and recur every twelfth year. The Chinese New Year does not fall on a specific date, so it is essential to check the calendar to find the exact date on which each Monkey Year actually begins.

The Old World monkeys are found in South Asia, with a few species as far North as Japan and North China, and in all of Africa except the deserts. A few monkeys, such as baboons and some macaque species, are ground dwellers. Some Old World monkeys lack tails; when a tail is there it may be long or short but is never prehensile. The nostrils are close together and tend to point downward. Many species have cheek pouches for holding food, and many have thick pads, on the buttocks. Their gestation period is five to nine months. Adult Old World monkeys have 32 teeth. The Old World monkeys, sometimes called true monkeys, are more closely related to the apes and humans than they are to the
New World monkeys.

Here is my 4th Mind Map I hope you have learnt as much as I have with monkeys.

Enjoy, Maybe you could teach me sometings that I dont know!!!

Monkeys sometimes will have rabies but not always. If a person is scratched or bitten by a pet monkey the owner might have to kill it or get it tested.  SO just be careful the next time you see a wild monkey (not in the zoo) it could have RABIES!

This info is from a U.S Site: http://www.petmonkey.info/facts.htm

 Fact HERE: Three families of monkeys have evolved from a group of animals that first appeared approximately 35 million years ago.

This is my second mind map and I have some new things that I want to learn and all the stuff that I have learned! Also I have some questions that need answering!

• Monkeys are mammals.
• Monkeys faces are flat and they sort of look like a human face.
• Monkey’s hands and feet are made for gripping.
• A group of monkeys is called a troop
• Monkeys can’t catch a cold
• Monkeys may eat bananas but they don’t eat the skin
• The Marmoset (is a type of monkey) is the smallest monkey.
• A baboon is the biggest type of monkey.
• The male Howler (type of monkey) monkey is the loudest land animal. It can be heard a distance of ten miles.
• There are 125 different species of monkeys
• Monkeys can live up to 45 years.
• Monkeys live in grass lands, trees, forests and high plains.
• They eat leaves, fruit, seeds, nuts, grass, roots, eggs, spiders and small mammals.
• Monkey’s tails are like the third hand.
• Monkeys are divided into two groups, Old World monkeys (from Africa, Asia, and Europe) and New World monkeys (from the Americas)

This is my picture of my mind map of what I started to think, what I didn’t know and what I wanted to find out.

Monkeys are very wired thing and I think they are also funny. I want to learn a lot about monkeys like

• Where they come from?
• How long they have been around for?
• Do they come inn funny colour like pink and blue?
• Can you keep them as pets?
• Do other animals eat them?

There the sort of questions we have to ask about to make this project. I don’t know that much about monkeys but I think they are cool. I want to learn a lot more about monkeys. I have only seen monkeys at the zoo and in movies but when they are in movies they are always good but someone is trying to get them.
