They consist of a greyish-brown color on their shoulders and back, in addition to having white fur on their limbs and stomach (Lang, 2005). These primates are herbivores, meaning they eat predominantly plants and fruit. However, they have been known to hunt for insects, as well. The average lifespan of the cotton-top tamarin is about 23 years (in captivity) (Bridgeman, 2002).
Kimorah is a second-grade general education student from a school in the St. George area of Staten Island, New York. Upon having Kimorah assigned as my student and before meeting her, I learned that through prior assessments it is established that she is on a C reading level, and in the second grade. When I think of second graders, I think of babies that were just born into this world a couple years ago, but among meeting Kimorah I quickly realized that she is a person in every sense of the word. Kimorah is a 7-year-old extroverted girl, who is expressive and full of personality. Consequently, shyness does not affect her, but to break the ice further I decided to conduct a set of fun activities.
“Geladas are stocky large primates with dark brown to buff coarse pelage and with dark brown faces and lighter, pale eyelids” (Primate). Theropithecus gelada is how scientists categorize the gelada. The highlands of Ethiopia are where they were first observed. Their height is a range of 19.7 to 29.1 inches. Female geladas generally weigh less than males at about 24.3 pounds, while males weigh about 40.8 pounds.
This makes it clumsy on land, but a surprisingly great swimmer. They also have an incredibly strong grip provided by their claws, which helps them stay up in trees There main prey are: buds, leaves, fruit There main predators are: Eagles, snakes, and jaguars
Emperor Wudi of the Han Emperor Wudi, seventh emperor of the Han, ruled from 141BC to 87BC. During 130BC to 110BC of his rule, he conquered the Xiongnu territory and expanded his empire in the north and west. Also the trade with western countries made the Han’s rulers and merchant become very wealthy. Because of this, the Han 's knowledge of the outside world, philosophy and religion, and technology increased. Because of its wealth and territorial expansion and strength, the Han Empire originally prospered a lot, but at the end of Wudi’s life he became despotic.
They have a wide variety of preys, however they prefer to prey on stingrays (Strong, 1990). Their denticles are used to prey on the stingrays in order to facilitate their feeding. These denticles are used more as teeth than fish scales of how sharp and dangerous they are. They also prey on invertebrates, small boney fish, and other sharks as well. They travel throughout the coastal semi ocean (Carlson, 2002).
The extant primate species I decided to research is the Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey, scientifically known as Rhinopithecus roxellana. Part of the reason I chose this species was how odd it looks next to other primate species; it has a flat blue face, big lips, and bright orange color. The other reason I chose the species was because I read that it is now an endangered species and was curious about why it has become endangered and how people are trying to change that. I believe it is important to study the golden snub-nosed monkey because looking at how they interact with their environment and with each other may give us a look into how early human ancestors may have acted under similar conditions. Before I get too far into the specifics of my primate I should discuss how it is different from modern humans.
Once they grow into adults, they feed on the Ash Trees leaves. Once the tree dies, the birds will peck and the squirrels and any other animals scratch their way into the trees to feed on the larvae. This leaves to holes in the bark and pieces of bark almost torn all the way
Attila the Hun was the feared and ruthless leader of the nomadic people known as the Huns from 435 CE until his death in 453 CE. Living in the Hungarian Plains, Attila and the Huns controlled the Western and Eastern frontier of the Roman Empire. During his reign, he invaded the empire on several occasions. Attila the Hun was the one responsible for bringing the Huns to their greatest strength and who posed the greatest threat to the Roman Empire. During his first few years of his reign, he had been apart of a diarchy with his brother, Bleda, until his untimely death in 444 CE.

They eat every meat they find, whether it is deer, wild pig, snakes, wild buffalo, and even fish that stranded on the shore. Usually, adult dragons hide themselves before attacking
Primate parenting is somewhat different than the parenting styles of other mammals. Primates tend to give birth to fewer offspring than other mammals, but become more invested in those offspring. Primates take care of their offspring longer than other mammals, but as a result, these offspring tend to be smarter, more socially complex, and longer living. “By caring for their offspring, providing them with food, and teaching them about social roles and social behavior generally, primates increase the chances of their species’ survival” (170). In addition, Primates tend to care for their young longer because the development period is longer for primates than other mammals, which is also because of their higher intelligence levels in comparison to other animals.
“Though they are territorial animals, howler monkeys do not tend to engage in overt conflict with nearby troops and in some cases may share an overlapping territory” (Shah). Most of their movement includes them moving from one branch to the other. The reason why they climb fast from one tree to another is by the help of their tails. Howler monkeys have prehensile tails, or tails that can grip onto anything. According to National Zoo, ”Males measure 24 to 26 inches (60 to 65 centimeters) long with a 24 to 26 inch tail (60 to 65 centimeters).”
