Little Gakere knows he is not the largest or strongest animal in the jungle. That is why whenever he has a big job to do, he asks the other animals to help. It is through teamwork that Gakere can accomplish anything. Gakere is a red-tailed guenon. The guenon is a small slender monkey with long, thin limbs and tail.
Guenons also have long hair around their face, like a lion's mane.
The red-tailed guenon, also known as Schmidt's guenon, is best known for its red tail. She was named this because every day, at dusk, she loves to watch the sunset. Even when her boyfriend cannot be with her. On rainy days when the sun will not come out, Kianga sometimes gets sad. This makes her feel better.
