Tom Jackson

• Unusual lifestyles, clever survival tactics and stunning habitats are captured in magnificent wildlife photographs

• Special focus features zoom in on topics such as the eye-catching coloration of the mighty mandrill and the loud honking call of the proboscis monkey

A monkey has flexible arms for swinging through the trees, a long tail for balance, good eyesight to spot food and predators and – most important of all – a large brain to make sense of its environment.

This book takes you on a thrilling and fact-filled journey through this incredible world. Find out how the lithe tails of spider monkeys act like extra limbs, and learn how a bush baby’s enormous eyes help it to see in the dark.

Explore the chilly world of the Japanese macaque, discover the finely tuned agility of golden langurs, and much more.
