Unfortunately, some people in the world want everything for themselves. They claim to make the world better through science, but all they do is make the world better for one species.

I've been described as an 'Animal Artist', not I hasten to add because I'm wild and hairy but because I love to draw animals and especially like to give them human characteristics. What better than a cheeky monkey to enthuse a young child to love books in this bestselling picture book.This edition comes complete with a CD read by CBBC's Justin Fletcher. Thereading is agreat aid to improving reading skills, perfect forbedtime, for journeys or for listening together. Researchers have identified over 30 different kinds of alarm call. These different calls are believed to reflect specific threats. So the alarm shout for a nearby human is different to that of a nearby leopard or eagle.Four of these species can be found scattered across various habitats in the savannas (olive, chacma, yellow, and guinea). Have you ever gone on a zoo trip and come across some monkeys with red butts? If you didn’t know about these primates, that might have come as a surprise. Let’s think about that for a moment. These monkeys are experts at finding food, so they climb through windows, open cupboards, wander across plantations and take what they please. Just like they have always done. Like many primates, vervet monkeys are actually omnivorous. They supplement all their greens with eggs, insects, baby birds and the odd rodent. Size and weight

Mandrills live in large "supergroups" or "hordes" that can contain hundreds of individuals. [40] [50] [51] These large groups are fairly stable and do not appear to be gatherings of smaller ones. At Lopé National Park, Gabon, mandrill hordes were found to have an average of 620 individuals, and some groups were as large as 845, making them possibly the largest cohesive groups of wild primates. [51] Another study in Lopé found that a horde of 625 mandrills consisted of 21 dominant males, 71 less dominant and subadult males, 247 adult and adolescent females, 200 juveniles, and 86 dependent infants. [40] A mandrill horde of around 700 individuals in northern Lopé had a total home range of 182km 2 (70sqmi), 89km 2 (34sqmi) of which was suitable habitat. The supergroup would occasionally diverge into two to four subgroups before reuniting. [52] Another 15-month long study of a 120 member group found a home range of 8.6km 2 (3.3sqmi) with an average traveling distance of 2.42km (1.50mi) per day.

A colorful bottom is one of the ways they have these non-verbal conversations. Dirks, W.; Lemmers, S. A. M.; Ngoubangoye, B.; Herbert, A.; Setchell, J. M. (2020).

In the paper, researchers describe the Lesula and its sister species, Cercopithecus hamlyni, as “shy, quiet, and generally occur[ing] in small groups.”
