Monkeys : Apes, Gorillas and other Primates, Hardback Book

Monkeys : Apes, Gorillas and other Primates Hardback

Part of the Animals series

Hardback

Description

As our closest relatives in the animal world, monkeys have always fascinated and amused humans in equal measure.

Monkeys is an outstanding collection of photographs showing these complex, intelligent animals in their natural habitat.

Arranged in chapters covering anatomy, family, behaviour, feeding and young, Monkeys features a wide variety of monkeys and apes, including baboons, gorillas, Orang Utans, macaques, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, marmosets, gibbons, mandrills and chimpanzees.

The smallest monkey is the pygmy marmoset, which can be just 117 millimetres (4.6in) in length with a 172-millimetre (6.8in) tail and weighing just over 100 grams (3.5oz); while the massive Grauer’s gorilla can weigh over 180 kilos (400lbs).

With full captions explaining how the species act in a group, communicate, hunt and feed, and rear its young, Monkeys is a brilliant examination in 230 outstanding colour photographs of these remarkable primates.
