      Tamarins are very nice monkeys. The are unusual because the females usually give birth to twins, and the fathers do a lot of work to look after the babies. This is not the case in most mokneys.

      Chimpanzees are also very interesting as they are the closest genetic relatives to humans, but they are apes and not monkeys.
