      Questions and Answers about - Arcturus Publishing

      Introduction

      Animals can be found in almost every habitat on Earth. Their diverse forms have adapted to a wide variety of climates and conditions, from the Arctic tundra to the tropical rainforest. This book includes a broad range of species, including mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians and insects. You will learn about their life cycles, and how they eat, play, defend themselves, find shelter and communicate.

      Some animals have extraordinary methods for survival, such as the blowfish, which inflates its elastic stomach at the first sign of danger. Or the sanguine poison frog, whose brightly colored skin fools predators into thinking it is poisonous. As you read, you will discover many fascinating facts about the animal world. For example, which monkey has a tail that works like a hand? Why do the eyes of a big cat glow at night? And which fish makes a bed out of its own saliva? You will find the answers to these and many other questions in the pages of this book.

      Monkeys

      Monkeys belong to the group of mammals called primates, which also includes apes and humans. All three species share certain characteristics, such as narrow noses and five fingers and toes. However, unlike apes and humans, many monkeys have tails. Monkeys from Asia and Africa have noses that point downward, while monkeys from Central and South America have broad noses and nostrils that open sideways.

      Quick Q’s:

      1. Why is the Japanese macaque also known as the snow monkey?

      The Japanese macaque, commonly known as the snow monkey, is one of the few primate species that live in cold regions. They are found in the mountains of Honshu in Japan. When it is very cold, these monkeys move near hot springs to keep themselves warm.

      2. What is grooming?

      Monkeys and apes groom each other’s fur using their hands. This helps not only to get rid of parasites and dirt but is also an important part of socializing.

      3. Why are monkeys called social animals?

      Most species of monkeys live in groups. The size of a group depends on how much food is available and if there are predators around.

      4. Do howler monkeys howl?

      Howler monkeys make a peculiar barking sound. They can be heard up to 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) away.

      Q What are the common characteristics of primates?

      A All primates have a large brain, and their eyes face forward, allowing binocular vision. Most of them have thumbs on both hands and feet that can be used for grasping. Their highly developed brain helps them to remember things, and to understand others.

      bull Big hug

      Snow monkeys are often found huddling near hot springs to keep warm.

      Q How many primate species are there in the world?

      A There are more than 350 species of primates in the world, divided into two groups. Small to medium-sized primates, such as lemurs and lorises, have long whiskers and welldeveloped senses of smell and hearing. The rest of the primates, including humans, apes and other monkeys, are part of the humanlike category. This group consists of about 175 species. Most of these primates have flat faces and a poor sense of smell.
