ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Monkey Day

Okay kiddo, so Monkey Day is a very special day for monkeys! Monkeys are creatures that look like a cross between a big mouse and a little person. They live in the forests and jungles of the world and they are very smart and funny. They can swing from tree to tree using their long arms and legs just like Tarzan does in the movies!

So, Monkey Day is a day set aside to celebrate these amazing creatures. People who love monkeys use this day to remember and talk about how wonderful monkeys are. They might even have a party or play games like pin the tail on the monkey.

But, it's not just about having fun! The day also reminds us that monkeys are facing big problems in the wild. Sometimes, people do things that hurt monkeys, like removing their homes or hunting them. So, on Monkey Day we also work to make sure that monkeys are protected and taken care of.

In short, Monkey Day is a fun and special day to celebrate monkeys and learn about how to take care of them, just like we take care of our friends and family!
