MONKEYS By James

This is a piece of writing James did at home for our blog.  Isn't is wonderful to have such enthusiastic writers in room 9!!! It would be lovely if you could give James some feedback - Mrs Wood 




Monkeys are hot blooded ad are the smartest animal ever heard of.


Similar Things to Humans!
Humans and monkeys are more similar than you think.  They use shelters like humans but they use different materials.  Monkeys also make tools for eating.  They make them out of twigs and leaves.


Food
Monkeys eat all types of things like bananas, apples and slugs.


Lifestyle
Monkeys work in groups 3 to 12 and can weigh up to 50Kg.  They climb trees and groom each other for fleas.  When monkeys are married it isn't called married, it's called mating.

Predators

Monkeys are usually killed by big cats such as lions, tigers, cheetahs and leopards.  A long time ago people use to kill monkeys because they had soft fur but now if any one is caught with monkey fur they get sent to court!

Where Monkeys Live

Monkeys are found in Australia, Russia and America.

I think monkeys are interesting and amazing creatures and that makes me want to study them in the future.
