Do monkeys really eat bananas?
 
Monkeys eat bananas simply because bananas usually grow where they live – monkeys and bananas both like warm tropical weather! But both monkeys who do and do not live around lots of bananas will eat other stuff sometimes. Some other monkey foods include fruits and vegetables, leaves, bugs, nuts, and seeds.

Monkeys peel bananas before eating them since the peel isn't very good. Bananas aren't just yummy, they also have lots of potassium and Vitamin C that are healthy for monkeys and people too!   




How many kinds of monkeys can you name? There are spider monkeys, rhesus monkeys, squirrel monkeys, and more!

Aside from liking bananas, what else do you know about monkeys? Can you do an impression of one?
