A Monkey Grows Up Facts:Opinions about the Monkey’s FAMILY Opinions about Monkey’s FEELINGS Opinions about MY REACATIONS AND FEELINGS The mother stopped her baby from drinking milk when the baby got bigger. I think he mother did the right thing by pushing baby away from her milk because she was too old for the nipple, even though it made baby mad I think monkey was scared when the cheetah and eagle call came because they cheetah or eagle might eat her. You should never push a monkey because it might have a temper tantrum. Her brother showed her how to get food, so she knows where food is. I think that Vervet monkeys take good care of their babies because they give them milk, and they feed them, the whole community takes care of the babies. I think Monkey was sad when her brother left because she did not do anything all day but mope. I think it’s not fair that the brother had to leave because he could get eatten when he’s out of the tree. They take care of other baby monkeys even if they are not part of their family. I don’t think it’s fair that the brother had to leave because he was a male, and the females have to stay. The brother monkey left to join a new group. I think it’s weird that monkeys are “Grown UP” when they are just 4.
