Monkey Fact Monday!

Hey Monkeys!
Mioster here to tell you about Monkey Fact Monday! This week we are learning about the De Brazza monkeys!    They are very smart monkeys so hear what Calypso had to say about them on the Go Bananas Blog:


The De Brazza's monkeys were known as swamp monkeys until the Italian-French explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza renamed them after himself.
De_Brazza's_monkeyDe Brazza's monkeys don't live very long compared to other types of monkeys, just an average of about 22 years.
These monkeys are very skilled when it comes to hiding from predators. One tactic they use when they are alarmed, is to freeze and act dead! De Brazza's monkeys also have the ability camouflage themselves in their surroundings very well.

That is awesome! These monkeys are very cool.

What other animals do you know, 'play dead' to escape from predators? 

So that's enough for Monkey Fact Monday! Comment and say what you think!
