Intro

Hi there, curious minds! I'm Crafty Clover! Let's discover something amazing. Why do many monkeys live in big groups called troops?

The Big Idea

Many monkeys live in big groups! They're called troops. Why live together?

More Eyes

Step one: More Eyes. Many monkeys and apes live in groups called troops. A troop has more eyes to watch for danger.

More Helpers

Step two: More Helpers. A troop also has more noses to find food and more helpers to share babysitting. A baboon troop can have dozens of members.

Grooming and Calls

Step three: Grooming and Calls. Members call to each other, groom each other, and keep an eye on the little ones. Living together can be noisy and busy, but a troop looks after its members.

A Closer Look

Let's take a closer look! More eyes. Found faster. Shared. Bonds.

Quick Facts

Quick facts! A baboon troop can have dozens of members. More eyes mean more safety. Grooming builds friendships. Babysitting is shared.

Think Like a Scientist

Now, think like a scientist! Play a game with friends. One person is the lookout. The others pretend to eat. The lookout calls a warning when they spot trouble. Take turns being lookout.
