Diverse Monkeys ** __Today I am going to tell you about the (There are many)__ fascinating differences between the different families of our furry primate friends. All monkeys are different, they all have different abilities and weakness's, different height and features. This report will fill out all the things you need to know to understand the complete diversity of monkeys.
 * [[file:Monkey PDF.pdf]] __My notes__

**Diverse Features** ** All monkeys have diverse features, like the colour of their fur and the size and shape of their bodies. Some monkeys have tails that can support their full body weight for hours on end while others can't even hang for a minute! Some don't even have tails to hang on! A Monkey's worlds is dominated by sight so // most // monkeys are active during daylight hours, except the South American Dourcouli which prefers the darkness over the light. Central and south __africa__ monkeys have very different noses, one race having very close together nostrils and noses that poke out, and the other having wide apart nostrils with no bump were their nose should be __whatsoever!__ Overall, monkeys features can be very diverse indeed. ** All monkey groups live in different parts of the world. Some live in tree's some live in highlands, some live in grasslands and some even live in Mountains! Some monkey families have only male's and some only female's, but most have both. **
 * Family life**
 * Monkey families differ in many factors. Size is just one of them. Some monkey families have up to 70 while other monkeys prefer to go solo. Most monkeys are very social and like to live in big groups and its a very happy life. They have a big celebration when a new baby is born. (Random fact, all monkey babies are born white!)

**Monkey Behaviour**
 * Monkeys are very adaptable and have relitively big brains, A full grown adult has the brain of a 3 year old. Some monkeys make holes in tree's for food, and have good enough memory to remember exactly where it is for months. As monkeys are very adaptable, they learn and change from each others mistakes and fortunes just like people can. Monkeys also have very good comunication, they have lots of positions in a family of monkeys, one of them being a watch guard. He sits watching out for any predators that can be a threat to the family. When he see's a preditor, he makes a certain call. Call's differ according to what type of predator. **

**Diet** ** A monkeys diet consists of fruits, insects, eggs, small reptiles and even leaves and flowers. When monkeys are kept as a pet, the owner must keep the food __s/he( they)__ gives him intresting because if __s/he (they) doesn't__ the monkey will get bored of the same food everyday and eventually refuse to eat! Not all monkeys like bannana's some hate the taste, but most // do //** love bannana's. Some are vegetarian, not liking any meat at all, while some (just like us) ** hate **** their greens!

In conclusion monkeys are very diverse and I hope that I have shown you that in this report. Monkeys differ in many factors, just like the ones I have shown you

**** Information Report Assessment **

Mrs Stock: Anthony this is a very well written report. You have organized your information clearly and have a true writers voice which makes reading your report interesting.

Tips: 1.) Classification should not include I or we statements, you started with a speech type opening - check out my brackets as an idea. It is o.k. to include an I believe or I think type statement in the conclusion e.g. I believe that the many different character traits monkeys have ... rather than finishing with the speech type ending. 2.) Your spelling and punctuation is mostly correct, try not to get carried away with !!! they will lose impact if you use them to many times.
