Gelada Monkeys

Dr. Eila Roberts visited our classroom last week to teach us about Gelada Monkeys.  Dr. Eila spent two years in the mountains of Ethiopia researching and observing these ground dwelling monkeys.  We learned, as grass eaters, Gelada Monkeys spend up to 90% of their day grazing in the grasslands.  Wow!  As humans and monkeys are both mammals, we learned that our survival needs are similar we just meet them in different ways.  Thanks Dr. Eila for sharing your knowledge with us.  We will be taking what we learned to begin writing Non-Fiction Animal books in our classroom.
