Spider Monkeys

  Spider Monkeys at Hamilton Zoo from Pam Thomson on Vimeo.

"Oh, oh, ah, ah." "Look! There are the the monkeys!"

We were at the zoo because we had filled up the marble jar.

We rumbled to the monkey cage. We saw the baby monkey. The mother was happily rocking her baby. All the monkeys came scrambling out. It was so loud. Just then, when I wasn't looking, out crept the baby monkey. I turned around in such fright. Boo! The monkey started to stare at me. I thought it was cute. It was very cheeky. Scampering all over the place, it swung from branch to platform and back to the branch. The monkeys were show-offs. 
Our group rushed to the other side of their cage. We saw ropes and hammocks for sleeping and playing. One of them prowled closer and closer. Its long spiral tail reached the ground. The baby wrapped its arms carefully around its mother's back. Somehow, it fell asleep. It looked very comfortable and cosy. We carefully crept out of the enclosure.
