Do monkeys ever fall out of trees?

Yes, monkeys can fall out of trees. While they are incredibly agile and adapted to life in the trees, accidents can happen. Here are some reasons why monkeys might fall:

* Branches breaking: Old or weakened branches can snap under a monkey's weight, causing them to fall.

* Slipping: Wet leaves or branches, or even just a sudden movement, can make monkeys lose their grip and fall.

* Fighting: During fights or play, monkeys might push each other or lose their balance, leading to a fall.

* Chasing: When chasing prey or escaping predators, monkeys might take risks and end up falling.

* Illness or injury: If a monkey is sick or injured, its coordination and strength might be impaired, increasing the risk of falls.

While monkeys are generally very adept at climbing and navigating trees, falling is a real risk, especially in younger or less experienced individuals.
