Monkey Farm

The first place to see was in Chiang mai, the monkey farm, that I was really surprise with the talents of this clever animal. The monkeys are very similar with  the humans with the respect that they have the same hands and fingers, they are more cultivate compare with the other animals. We separate monkeys in to a 2 types. The new monkeys for the world, and the old. The new monkeys they live in the center of south America and the old in Asia and Africa. The different with the old monkeys is that the nostrils are linked and that they have 32 teeth's like the humans.
