I like the time when we were monkeys

Why do we love monkeys? Because they have faces like us, swing through the World like it's one big jungle gym, and an have the personality of a clown. There are over 200 species of monkeys in the World. Come learn about a variety of apes from orangutans to gorillas to bonobos to chimpanzees. It's time to monkey around!

A pair of monkeys (male and female) meet in the jungle and immediately fall in love. After serenading the little lady, the boy takes her home and runs into trouble in the shape of a gorilla...a jealous gorilla. But the girl monkey dispatches the gorilla with ease.

The monkeys are swinging; their song and dance routine has other jungle creatures joining in. And two monkeys in love chase and kiss. But the hungry crocodiles lie in wait (and dance the soft shoe).

In times like these it seems like the monkeys have taken over the zoo but too many people haven't notices or don't want to realize it.

Patrick Aryee takes us on a journey through time, to retrace the primate family’s astonishing rise to power through the twists and turns of its family tree. Travelling to wild locations in Central and South America, Africa and Asia, he gets eye to eye with some of the planet’s most charismatic and mischievous monkeys.

Escape to Monkey Island, deep in the tropical forests of Sri Lanka, where troops of toque macaques, tufted grey langurs, and purple-faced leaf monkeys have made their home among the crumbling ruins of ancient temples. In this verdant jungle, abundant fruit provides ample feasts for these foragers, but even in primate paradise, trouble awaits. Follow these charismatic monkeys as they deal with unpredictable weather and struggle to raise their young in an environment where hidden forest dangers lurk around every corner.

In the hot summer, a group of little monkeys jumped up and down tirelessly on several trees on the mountain, having a great time. Wearing a straw hat on his head and shoulders, and with two wine gourds hanging on his chest, the old man struggled up from the bottom of the mountain. When he saw a large shade of trees, he stopped to rest and fell asleep after a while. The little monkeys sized up the old man, and became interested in the straw hat and wine gourd he threw on the ground.
