Instead of paws, primates have hands. Many even have thumbs and fingernails. Most primates are good climbers. They grab and swing using their hands and feet. A few use long tails to help them climb.
Most primates come from warm places in Africa, South America and Asia.
Many live in jungles and rain forests. There they play together, swing and run through trees, search for food and look out for dangerous animals like snakes, eagles and tigers. Sometimes, though, primates live in zoos. Away from their home, they could get bored and upset. Zookeepers build special climbing walls, add new toys and games, and bring surprises to keep the primates happy and interested.
