| Monkeys live high up in the tree tops. They are good climbers and love monkey-ing about.
Monkeys eat fruits, insects, plants and they don't even mind the odd bird egg.
They use their strong arms to swing from branch to branch, firmly holding on with their hands. |

| The most remarkable feature of a bird are the feathers. A bird depends on its feathers
for its powers of flight. The wing feathers must not become separated from each other in
flight and the whole wing must maintain a smooth surface if it is to give lift and aerodynamic
control that the bird requires. |

| Until recently donkeys in Australia were the object of ridicule and derision.
Although classified as vermin in WA and inferior to the horse, donkeys are being kept
as pets more and more. Instead of donkeys being tinned as pet food they are now
often sold as love-able pets to eager buyers. |
 |
| Dogs must be cared for properly. Regular exercise is important as well as a balanced diet,
clean bedding, vaccination and a good wash-up every now and then. Remember the work involved
in keeping a dog before you purchase or accept one as a gift. You are responsible for its well-being! |

| The grizzly, or brown bear, is one of 8 species of bears found in the world.

Sharks are the best hunters in the sea. With their terrible teeth and huge jaws they can tear up seals, turtles,
fish, people and if they get really annoyed they'll even tear up a small boat.
Leave a shark alone and generally it will leave you alone, most sharks are more scared of you and will
soon swim away.
Snakes are reptiles that lay eggs, breathe with lungs and have skins covered with scales.
Reptiles are cold-blooded and their temperature depends on their surroundings.
Snakes are found all over the world except in the Antarctic.
You can find the Adder and the Viper snakes all over Europe and across Asia.
