Answer:

16 animals

Explanation:

It's a step by step approach.

Every monkey had one tortoise in hand.

There was 3 monkeys.

So 3 monkeys had one tortoise making it 3 tortoise.

Since the elephants are all going towards the same River it's definitely that the monkey they all saw is the same 3 set of monkeys.

Then a rabbit .

Total animal = 1 rabbit + 3 monkeys + 3 tortoise + 9 elephants

Total animal= 16 animals
