Tiny

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Tiny is a low-ranking monkey. He was named for his miniscule size as a child and yearling. Like most of Tina's children, he took far longer to catch up in terms of size than other monkeys.

As a child, Tina and her adult daughter Trina would raid Tiny's cheek pouches any time he got food. This often defeated AM's attempts to feed him to try to get him to grow. He also struggled to get milk out of Tina. This left him usually trying to find impossibly-small crumbs of food off the ground, while his peers were out playing. Thankfully, during his first couple of winters, Tiny was able to forage for enough camphor berries that he was able to survive childhood and grow to a reasonable size.

Tiny was kicked out of Skull-Head's troop, his natal troop, in 2022. This is normal for male monkeys of his age. MI reported that he is now a member of Löwina's troop, but AM has clarified that he is a member of a bachelor troop adjacent to Löwina's troop.
