What a racket! A golden lion tamarin monkey has a shaggy, golden coat. The fur around its face is so thick, you can't see its ears! Monkeys chat and squabble with each other. They also make funny faces. A monkey holds onto the branches with its strong arms.

Sloth A sloth spends most of its life hanging upside down, fast asleep. When this strange-looking creature wakes up, it slowly crawls along its branch, looking for leaves to eat. About once a week, it creeps down the tree trunk to the ground. A sloth has almost no tail or ears, and its nose is short and round. Shaggy hair grows down from a sloth's body. This helps rain to run off easily. A sloth hooks its claws tightly over a branch, so that it doesn't fall.
