Primates like Apes have been serving humans against their wills for a long time. Apes have been sent to space, used for animal testing, used against their will for entertainment, held captive by exotic pet owners, being forced to live in Zoos, and eaten by people who view them as prestigious food. Apes are kept in cages in laboratories where some of them are even breed, born, and killed for the results of horrifying experiments. Many primates not just Apes are subjects to test experimental drugs

Saguinus bicolar bicolar, known as the Pied Tamarin is a new world monkey that can be found in forests and swamps of Brazil. They often are grouped in either multi male or female. Their diet is mostly on fruits, flowers and insects. Also, they have a forelimb proportion and a terrestrial locomotion. (Helen Branch House – Exhibit) They have grasping hands, feet and tails.

Description The Lar Gibbon, more commonly known as the White Handed Gibbon, is the world 's smallest ape. It measures to 42.0 cm. and weighs 4.4 kg. But just because this ape is small doesn 't mean it can 't get around. The Gibbon has very long arms so it can climb trees effortlessly and run up to 35 miles an hour. The way the Gibbon swings is called “Brachiation” which saves energy. It also has a small fur coat all around its body except its face. Its fur comes in a few different colors like

Chimpanzees and Bonobos are both two completely different species of apes and they have several key differences that make each of them distinct. For one, Chimps are much more aggressive towards each other. They fight and even murder other chimps. Bonobos are much more peaceful towards one another. Another major difference between the two apes is that Bonobos are controlled by females, which means that Bonobos are run by Polyandrous social structures. Chimpanzees are the opposite, they are run by

The primate observation that I chose to observe are Orangutan, Squirrel Monkey, and Lemur. This observation took place in the Lowry Park Zoo on October 18th. I went to the Lowry Park Zoo around 2 pm until 5 pm. The purpose of this observation is through primate’s anatomy, locomotion, and behavior to getting know them better, and how they are differences and similarities compare to human beings. When I got there, the Zoo was already very crowd. There were lots of people in the zoo; I think probably

The order of primates include a wide and varied array of species, from lemurs to macaques to humans. Grouped by distinctive characterestics, they are also distinguished by clear dissimilarities. Both these aspects may be seen with comparison to chimpanzees and bonobos and to an even more marked degree in regards to nonhuman primates and humans. Each species possess its own specific traits ranging from physical to behavioral to mental that set it apart from its biological kindred while still being

The biggest overt difference that one notices when comparing nonhuman primates to human primates is the loss of body hair in the modern human, to the extent even, that humans have been described as the “naked ape” in many contexts. The primates classified as old world apes that are closest in relation to humans are the Bonobos and Chimpanzees. Looking specifically at the Chimpanzees, we can compare and contrast the properties of the skin and hair between them and humans to get an idea of the evolutionary

Likewise, human beings belongs to the Primate Order, which is known to consist mainly of apes, monkey and lemurs. These primates all share a similar evolutionary process as well as they all possess a characteristic present in humans, that is the enculturation process. For example, Koko the gorilla was taught sign language from an early age through exposition and nurture, resulting in mastering it perfectly. Hence, if primates are able to adapt and change to its culture, how is the enculturation process

eating the bristles on the brush and she grabs the towel and wipes the brush off again thoroughly and with vigor and looks at the brush in satisfaction, after that the video abruptly ends. This is a excellent example of sequential tool use in a Great Ape. The book defines the sequential tool use as being when an animal uses Tool 1 to achieve sub-goal 1, then only if sub-goal 1 is reached will Tool 2 be used and that will be used until sub-goal number 2 is reached and the final reward is achieved. In

Scientifically named Pan Troglodytes, they are widely classified as great apes under the Hominidae family and are one of the species in the genus Pan.

Maisie and Indie are up close against the railing that wraps around the gorilla’s enclosure. Indie asks, “Oh, oh aren’t they gross?” about the two gorillas who are sitting up, almost on top of the glass. One of the gorillas is much smaller than the other. When I point to her and say, “She must be the female,” Indie asks, “So?” Bane says, “I bet you’re right,” and Indie and Maisie roll their eyes. Then Bane reads from the little sign next to the railing, “The big one is called Richard, and the female

Over the course of the semester I have learns a lot about primates. Some things I already had knowledge of, a lot were things I could not have even thought were primate related. From the (occasional) meat-eating chimpanzee to the shock of lemurs being more primate than weasel my knowledge has expanded a great deal. For this project I chose to observe a primate that I was not too familiar with. I felt as though as soon as someone hears the word “primate” the first thing that comes to mind are either:

Analysis Assignment: “Love in the Time of Monkeys” I chose to analyze Eduardo Fernandez-Duque’s article “Love in the Time of Monkeys.” Fernandez-Duque’s article describes and explains the monogamous relationships had by Azara’s owl monkeys (Aotus azarae). As the reader, I know that the Fernandez-Duque is specifically studying Azara’s owl monkeys because he has dedicated an entire paragraph to give background about his previous studies, why he wanted to study these types of animals, and also what
