This black monkey is called a

spider monkey or maquisapa. It

lives in the jungle of Peru. It can

climb trees because it has long

arms and legs and a very flexible

tail, but spider monkeys don’t have

thumbs like other monkeys. The

spider monkey can also swing

from tree to tree to find fresh fruit.

These little ones are called
Taricaya turtles. They can’t run
fast, but they can swim quickly.

They have a hard shell on their

backs to protect them from

predators.

My favourite animals are the
macaws. Macaws have colourful
wings and beautiful feathers.

They can fly long distances. They

can learn to repeat some words,

but they can’t have conversations

like us.
