The squirrel monkey lives in rainforests in South America and eats fruit, insects, flowers, and nectar. The squirrel monkey climbs trees. They are some of the smartest monkeys, due to their large brain. My monkey in the future will have all four long legs. This is to reach smaller prey, like rats, and guinea pigs. He is going to have to reach into holes. He will have two long teeth on the top and bottom of his gums. These will scare off predators and will allow him to eat rodents. He will be skinny and have a long tail to reach smaller animals. He will be gray and tan, to hide from predators. He will have long ears to hear any predators who are trying to eat him. He will also have fingers but not a thumb so that he can crawl through the rat holes quicker and catch rats.
