Red-tailed Monkeys in Uganda
This message is about red-tailed monkeys found in Uganda. They live in groups and make noise to warn others of danger. Males are bigger than females and have reddish-brown fur on their tail. They have white cheek pouches for storing food and use their long tail for moving around trees. They greet each other by touching noses and chase away outsiders by widening their eyes, raising their eyebrows and nodding their heads. Red-tailed monkeys eat fruits, plants, flowers, and insects but are threatened by deforestation and farmers protecting their crops. Females take care of the young ones and males leave the group to form their own. Red-tailed monkeys can live up to 20 years in the wild and are found in tropical rain forests and swampy areas in different places in Uganda.
