Explanation
A monkey is a small to medium animal with a tail and hands like ours. Monkeys live in forests or near people and eat fruit, leaves, or small animals. People see monkeys in zoos, on TV, or in the wild. Monkeys are clever and can learn tricks, but they can also take food or break things if they get close to people.
