Monkeys are generally intelligent tree-dwelling animals, although there are species that live primarily on the ground. Most species are mainly active during the day.
In recent years, traders from distant lands have begun importing monkeys. These creatures can be trained to perform many tasks, such as retrieving equipment, carrying objects, and even thievery. Still, some view monkeys with suspicion because their expressions and personalities seem all too Human. And many people who’ve encountered these critters have felt the sting of thrown dung from one of these mischievous little devils.[1a]
People who own monkeys grow very attached. They give them Human names like Karl, Edward, Petra, and Lucy.[1a]
