Monkey (animal)
Monkeys are intelligent, social creatures that live throughout jungles and warm forests. They tend to prefer tall trees for climbing and jumping to avoid predators, and operate almost exclusively in large groups built on complex social hierarchies. Monkeys and their animal relatives are considered the closest living relative to Man by Scholars, due to the shape and use of their hands, and their, subjectively, soulful eyes.
The monkeys' shadows drift over my head as a group of the animals hop through the understory of the jungle, leaping from tree to tree. They howl and holler as they go, and we watch from them from below- hidden in the dense shrubbery at the forest floor. One monkey stops overhead, inspecting the fruit hanging from a branch above its head. I ready my
long range weapon, aiming upon the small creature's chest. Every movement I make is meticulous and slow to make sure to not scare the creature away before it's time. I hold my breathe; there will only be one chance to take this one down.
