Monkeying Around

The Squirrel Monkey was once a golden yellow mixed with variations of gray on its fur. He had a long golden tail with it black on the end and short brown nails on his fingers. He lived in a tropical rainforest surrounded by colorful plant and gigantic trees, filled with fruits and flowers. Now years later, his species adapted to the now desert plain. Now the Squirrel Monkey species no longer has any black or gray on its fur. It is now a sandy golden color to blend in with the sand. Instead of its black end of the tail it is now a light brown. He has larger ears in order to release heat from his body. Now he has longer claws in order to climb and get flowers from cacti and sharp teeth to defend its self when needed.
