Description
Get up close to extraordinary monkeys and amazing apes. Take a journey through lush rainforests, across grassy plains and up snowy mountains to find thirty-six magnificent monkeys and apes, from the tiny pygmy marmoset to the huge Western lowland gorilla. Intriguing facts accompany every illustration, so you can find out why the Japanese macaque washes its food, how the orangutan makes tools and why gibbons sing duets. Discover all these facts and more in this wonderful compendium that you will revisit again and again.
