Monkeys have long, strong fingers and toes to get food or to swing from place to place. Monkeys swing through treetops, but bigger monkeys stay on the ground. Monkeys sometimes live in families. Monkeys called baboons have males that are twice the size of females. The males live on the edges of the troop. Monkeys make faces when they're playing, just like humans. Monkeys called patas live on the plains of Africa. Hyenas, leopards, and elephants live with the patas. That is how monkeys are very exciting and playful animals.
