Have Fun with Stuffed Monkey

Monkeys are so much like humans that it's been reported they share 99% of our DNA. That's quite extraordinary when you think about it. It could be one of the reasons we are so enthralled by monkeys when we see them. They are so much like us that we can relate to them on a level different from most other animals.
Stuffed monkeys are made to replicate their real counterparts, though it's interesting to note that there are some slight differences between the species depending on where they come from. For example, an Old World monkey has a nose with small nostrils that are close together, while a New World monkey has round nostrils which are far apart. Another of their differences is in their cheeks; Old world monkeys have pouches in their cheeks which they use to stuff food into - they can then run with the food in their mouth and chew on it later. New World monkeys, on the other hand, don't have cheek pouches at all. It's likely that a child won't care about such details as nostrils and cheeks when they are given a stuffed monkey.
Stuffed Animals quick link are beneficial because they are cheaper than any other toy and easier to buy. Many departmental stores sell Stuffed Animal toys which has educational benefits. Since these stuffed toys are cute and safe it can be presented as gifts to both girls and boys of any age. Stuffed toy animals help to brighten a child's room and it may take on an imaginary character and becomes an imaginary friend and a favorite toy which helps to cheer them up. Stuffed animals are believed to be a child's best companion in many ways such as promoting good health, get the necessary sleep for its well being and health, and gives a lot of comfort during an illness if the baby has a cuddly stuffed animal beside him or her as a pet.
Like humans, monkey hands have thumbs and fingers but unlike us, their hands have weak small thumbs. Monkeys fingers are long and powerful and they form a hook which they use to climb trees and suspend from branches. While monkeys don't use their thumbs like we do (they are too weak to be able to tie a knot or write with a pen), they instead use their very adept fingers similarly to a human baby who hasn't quite learned to use its hand properly. While we would grasp a nut with our thumb and forefinger, monkeys (like babies) grasp it between their fingers and their palm. It's no wonder with all the similarities we share, that giant stuffed monkeys are such popular plush toys, particularly amongst children.
