. Roosevelt's African trip; the story of his life, the voyage from New York to Mombasa, and the route through the heart of Africa, including the big game and other ferocious animals, strange peoples and countries found in the course of his travels . MANDRILL BABOONFound in the deep forests of Africa woods of Asia, and many adjacent islands, from Africa and SouthAmerica. We imagine some of the monkeys would not know othermonkeys, for they are peculiar in their habits. They have all kindsof temper and capacities, just like boys and girls. Gorillas are shy andcross, chimpanzees lively and kind, the baboon grumpy, spider monkeys (241) 242 THE MONKEY TRIBES restless, and other monkeys impudent and cunning. They are of allshades of color, and all shapes and sizes. Many are without tails, somewithout stumps, and others with long tails of no great use, except toafford fun to the mischievous. Others have long tails which they useas another hand, to hang to the limb by; some have faces very human-like, others look more like dogs. Some can go almost erect, othersgo only on all fours; some swing from limb to limb by their tails, orholding together make bridges across streams for others to cross THE GORILLA A\D HIS FAMILY Some like fruit and others eat vegetables. All of them seem to havea fondness for climbing, grasping, picking and stealing, for whichthey have good hands with fingers and thumbs with wrists in front,and hands, that is to say feet, with a great thumb-like toe monkeys of the old world do not have long tails which they canuse. These seem to have been invented for the American monkeys, whohave noses which are broad at the end, while the monkevs of the old THE MONKEY TRIBES 243 world have noses more like those of men and dogs. The large apeshave long tails and no cheek pouches, but have very manlike features,including also what are known as chimpanzees and orangs belongingto the old world. Remember, that some monkeys are manlike, beingable to walk on
