The rainforest is home to monkeys and apes that feed on the fruit and leaves that grow there.
Monkeys spend most of their time leaping around the tops of the trees in the forest.
Monkeys either have long arms that help them to manuever through the trees or they swing by their long tails. This monkey, pictured above, is a white-faced capuchin monkey. Monkeys call to each other to keep in contact with their groups or to warn strangers away. The monkey pictured in this tree on the right is a howler monkey. Howler monkeys get their name from their very loud calls which can be heard over long distances.
