I’m a Monkey

I’m a Monkey 

I love hanging out in the trees.

I love swinging from branch to branch.

I never tire of the outside. 

The rainforests are my natural habitat.

Bananas, grapes, berries and plants are the staple of my diet.

I live with my family and I have good friends.

Sometimes I hang out by myself but usually am out and about with my family and my friends.

I’m a bit shy when meeting for the first time and cover up my face with my hands but once I get to know someone I’m very comfortable and vocal.

I’m also very competitive and enjoy play time with other monkeys. 

Monkeys come in all shapes and sizes and are partners with humans in research efforts. 

Some monkeys trained as service animals for disabled people.

Capuchin monkeys were the perfect match for helping those in wheelchairs and they made excellent companions.

They needed special training for that kind of work and were compatible and very useful but they’re no longer called upon to work with disabled. 

Some monkeys were used in space exploration and worked alongside astronauts, engineers and scientists.

Monkeys are very intelligent and exhibit traits similar to humans.

They’re very social and love to have fun when they assemble in tribes 

They also love the daytime and generally rest at night.

Monkeys generally live in the wild but some do reside in zoos and are visited by kids on field trips and families who want to see them close up.

I can swing in the trees all day hanging with my tribe because I’m a monkey.

I’m a Yak

 I’m a Yak  Strong and steady, built for the mountains where the air is thin and the snow never leaves. Some say I look like a giant, shaggy cow, but I am far more than that. My thick fur keeps me warm when icy winds blow, and my sturdy hooves help me climb the highest peaks. I live where few others dare to go, high in the Himalayas, where the sky touches the earth. Up here, the wind howls, the rivers freeze, and the ground is covered in snow for most of the year. But I am made for this life. My heart beats strong, my breath is deep, and I can carry heavy loads across rugged paths that no cart or wheel could ever cross. I do not live alone. Yaks are herd animals, and we move together like one great, furry wave across the mountains. Our herd can be small, just a few families, or as large as a hundred strong. Females (cows) and their young stay together, while the biggest males (bulls) sometimes wander alone or in small bachelor groups. But when the time comes to protect the her...

I’m a Pony

I’m a pony I come in all sorts of colors. Brown White Beige Black A patchwork of colors  I have a thick mane I am of small stature but I have the heart of a champion. I’m a worker and proud of it. You can see me in the fields on farms I am up at the crack of dawn I assist the farmer with his crops by carrying them to market. I am a favorite at kids birthday parties too. I love when children ride me around as they smile and pat me gently. I am a small equine. I’m a little horse.  I can carry more than my weight when I haul a carriage and payloads. I love grazing in the grassland. I am a social animal. I’m very friendly and agreeable. Sometimes I can be stubborn but for the most part I am very cooperative and productive. There was a time when I would play an important role in delivering mail before the advent of the railroad. The pony express operated for nearly two years starting in 1860 and enabled mail delivery from the East coast to the West coast. It was a coordinated deliv...
