Some animals have parachutes which help them fly through the air. The flying squirrel is one
of them. When a flying squirrel wants to get from a high tree branch to a lower one, it jumps into
the air with its four legs spread wide apart. The skin between its front and back legs acts like a
parachute. The squirrel can control which way it falls with its wide tail. Flying squirrels usually
fly about 18 metres from branch to branch. But they can fly as far as 45 metres in one jump. The
flying tree frogs of Asia have parachutes too. The frog’s parachute is a piece of skin between its
long toes. But they cannot jump as far as flying squirrels. When the frog rests, the parachute is
not visible. But when the frog jumps from trees, it stretches its toes apart to open its parachute.

Monkeys are like people in many ways. In fact, some of them even go to college. A monkey
college in Boston, Massachusetts, teaches some monkeys to become helpers for disabled people.
They chose capuchin monkeys to be their “students” for a few reasons. Firstly, they are very
smart. Secondly, they have very short tails. So, unlike other monkeys, they use their hands just
like people do. Thirdly, these monkeys can live up to 40 years and get along well with humans.
The monkeys at the college begin their training when they are only a few months old. They start
to learn simple things such as bringing food or picking things up. Training monkeys is usually
interesting but difficult. They can do more complicated things after several years of training.
Most owners say their monkeys are not just helpers but also good triends.
