    The capuchin monkey lives in tropical rainforests in Colombia, northern Argentina, and Brazil. It eats nuts, fruit, insects, eggs, young birds, frogs, and lizards. Capuchin monkeys have long arms and grasping hands and tails that help them move nimbly through trees. They are intelligent and have been seen using tools like sticks and stones to access food.

    Monkey

    Area : Colombia, northern Argentina, Brazil

    Habitat : Tropical rain forests

    Food : Nuts, fruit, insects, eggs, young birds, frogs, and lizards

    Size : 13 to 22 inches from top of head to rump; tail is 15 to 22 inches long

    Babies : Newborn capuchins ride on their mother’s back.

    At Ease in the Trees

    Long arms, grasping hands, and a prehensile tail help these little monkeys live in the
    treetops. They move from one branch to the next by leaping and sometimes swinging. Their
    grasping tail gives them an extra way to catch a branch in mid air.

    Capuchin monkeys are very smart. Scientists have seen them use sticks to dig for nuts
    or catch ants, and using stones to crack open the hard shell of nuts. They cooperate with
    others in their group, too. If a food is difficult for one monkey to get, another monkey will
    help out—then they share the prize!
    Kangaroo

     Kangaroos are marsupial animals that are found in Australia as well as New Guinea.
     There are four different kangaroo species, the red kangaroo, eastern grey kangaroo,
    western grey kangaroo and antilopine kangaroo.
     Kangaroos can hop around quickly on two legs or walk around slowly on all four.
     Kangaroos can’t walk backwards.
     Kangaroos have very powerful legs and can be dangerous at times.
     Kangaroos can jump very high, sometimes three times their own height.
     Kangaroos can swim.
     Most kangaroos eat grass.
     Baby kangaroos are known as ‘joeys’.
     A group of kangaroos is called a ‘mob’, ‘troop’ or ‘court’.
     The red kangaroo is the largest marsupial in the world.
     Kangaroos usually live to around six years old in the wild.

    Koala

    Area : Australia

    Habitat : Eucalyptus forests

    Food : Leaves, especially eucalyptus

    Size : 2 to 3 feet long

    Babies : Joeys are about the size of a large jellybean when they are born.

    I'm Not a Bear!

    Koalas are often called bears because they look a little like teddy bears, but they are
    actually marsupials. Like other marsupials, the female has a pouch where she carries her
    baby, called a joey, for several months after birth. When a joey is strong enough to cling to its
    mother's back, it leaves the pouch but still sticks its head in to nurse.

    Koalas are known as picky eaters. There are hundreds of different types of eucalyptus,
    but koalas only eat a few dozen kinds. And koalas won’t eat every leaf off of each branch. In
    fact, at the San Diego Zoo, we offer each koala 25 pounds of fresh eucalyptus each day, and
    each only eats about 1.5 pounds of it. We give them a lot to choose from because they know
    what's best!

    While koalas currently aren’t listed as an endangered species, 80 percent of koala


    habitat has been lost to human homes and businesses, drought, and fires. That makes life hard
    for an animal that needs eucalyptus forests to survive, like koalas do. Koalas also are at risk
    when close to human populations and being killed by cars or dogs. Many people are working
    together to protect koala habitat and help these cuddly looking creatures survive.
