Answer:

91 animals

Step-by-step explanation:

Because every elephant saw 3 monkeys, there were 9 * 3 = 27 monkeys and because every monkey had 1 tortoise in each hand and we know that monkeys have 2 hands, there were 27 * 2 = 54 tortoises. To find the total number of animals that were going to the river, we can calculate 1 + 9 + 27 + 54 = 91 animals.
