Golden Stub Nosed Monkeys

The article that we read was called The Mystery of the Rare Male Sea Monkey by Nadia Drake. The rough idea of this article was how the female Sea Monkeys(brine shrimp) reproduced asexually and how the male Sea Monkeys couldn’t breed with their own kind. So, as a result, the male shrimp breed with different species resulting in hybrid offspring. It also compared shrimp that breed asexually and another that bred sexually. The vocabulary words found in the article were asexual, chromosome, and DNA. Asexual was used when explaining how the female sea monkeys reproduce. Chromosome was used when they explained that when an asexual lineage emerges, it gains an extra set of chromosomes. Finally, DNA was used when it said that for asexual

The observations of Common Squirrel Monkey (Saimiri sciureus) and Western Gorillas (Gorilla Gorillas) were made on 31th October, 2015 at the San Francisco Zoo where is located on 1 Zoo Road San Francisco, CA 9413. The observations has lasted about 3 hours, from 1:40 pm – 4:40 pm, and each primate has been observing for around 1 to 2 hours. Common Squirrel monkey is a small new

There are three species of monkey that are abundant in Lui Kotale, the redtail monkey, Tshuapa red colobus and black mangabey. Researchers found a finger from

The first true evolution of primates goes all the way back to 55 million years ago.. Primates descend in two orders, Stepsirrhini and Haplorrhini. The Stepsirhines were the first of the suborders to unfold. That term is identical with prosimians. Prosimians are defined as a “pre-monkey” in Latin(anthro.palomar.edu). Evidence was not shown until the 20th century of prosimians evolving before the monkey. A stepsirhine that is still alive and studied today are lemurs. Lemurs are the oldest ancestors of monkeys, apes, and humans. There is research of a Lemur’s past and present habitats, discovered theorists, predators, diet, life expectancy, large number of subspecies, and fossils collected about Lemurs.

They both come from the subfamily Atelinae. Woolly monkey and the spider monkey are found in South America. The A. belzebuth are most likely to be found in the northeastern portion of the Amazonian in South America (Eisenberg, 1989; Emmons, 1997). They tend to live in the upper levels of tall forests and can be found at a maximum elevation of 1,800 meter. On the other hand, Lagothrix is mostly found in the Neotropics of northern South America up the Magdalena River Valley in Columbia (Eisen­berg 1989; Em­mons & Feer 1990; Moyni­han 1976). They are commonly found 3,000 meters above sea level in the Andes but live in

Howler monkeys are infamous for their extremely loud calls that can be heard from several kilometers away. Alouatta palliate, otherwise commonly known as the mantled howler monkey, is one of the most studied howler monkey species. The mantled howler monkey taxonomy shows that it falls under the Haplorhini suborder and the Plattyrhine (New World Monkey) infraorder. It then falls under the Atelidae family and the Alouatta genus. The mantled howler monkey can be separated easily from other howler monkey species in the Alouatta genus by its coloration and the long guard hairs located on its sides, for which it received its species common name “mantled” (Henderson, 2000). There are three recognized subspecies of Alouatta palliate (Rylands et al.,

Costa Rican Howler Monkeys are one of the most biggest most pickiest most laziest monkeys I have heard of. Did you know there are a lot of different species here are a few Black Howler, Mantled Howler, Red Howler and the Brown Howler. The size of a howler monkey is relative to a 6ft. Man and there tale is 23 to 36 inches long! They spend time grooming there long bodies and long tales and they always have time to take their naps and eat food. There favorite food is fruit but they also eat nuts and seeds. Do you want to know one of there favorite fruit pears. But they are starting to lose their habitats and because of that they are losing they food also. But there are some animals that like to eat howler monkeys jaguar,snakes and birds. Do you

Monkeys can be divided into two groups: old world monkeys that live in Africa and Asia and new world monkeys that live in South America. A Baboon is classified as an old world monkey. A Howler Monkey is classified as a new world monkey. Most monkeys don't swing with their tails because not all monkeys have tails. Apes don't have tails. Monkeys are omnivores. This means that most plants, nuts, seeds, and flowers are all eaten.

As I walked into the first room at the Museum of Photographic Arts, Jim Naughten's "Animal Kingdom" photographs drew my immediate attention because I am currently taking a lab course in Physical Anthropology where we look at fossils every week. While there were several photos within his exhibit, I will focus on the image “Red Faced Spider Monkey” (2014) since we are studying spider monkeys in my course this week this image parallels with my current studies. Naughten uses the technique of Stereoscopy, the study of binocular vision. At the museum they provide a stereoscopic viewer for visitor use. While using the viewer, the flat images, then become three-dimensional bringing them to seem lifelike. Naughten's images are a wonderful example of how photography image can have transformative effects.

“Sometimes it is better to lose and do the right thing than to win and do the wrong thing” (Blair). In the short story, The Monkey’s Paw written by W.W. Jacobs a mother, father, and their son are visited by an old friend that is in the army. He tells them about the monkey’s paw that grants three wishes to the person who is holding it. He tried to warn them about the great cost to each with, but they would not listen to him. They made one wish for 200 pounds and because of that the mother and father had lost their son. They could not see that what they wanted was the wrong thing to do. The son being dead drove the mother to wish for him to come back, but that was when the father realized that what he wanted was not right, so he used his final wish to make his son disappear. Being able to draw the line between what you want, and what is the right thing to do is an ideal that has been lost in our society.

The nature documentary 2016 film “Mystery monkeys of Shangri La” is true story about a Xi Zhinog, a Chinese photograper, who was the first one to film Junnan snub monkeys in the wild in 1980. He dedicated himself to find this group of Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys living at the highest altitude of forests of Southwestern China than any other monkeys of the world. These Junnan snub-nosed monkeys also known as the balck sunb-nosed monkeys and one of their unique quality is that they're not afraid of humans. However, they are wild and you can't tell them what to do. The troop that Xi Zhinog is observing has eight famalies and evey family has an male, many females, and some young ones. One of the thing they observed was that each mother was treating

The first primate I observed at the zoo was the Black Mangabey. The Black Mangabey is located in the “damp forests in the central Congo Basin” in Africa(Zoo Placards- Black Mangabey 2015). Furthermore, these monkeys move “through all levels of a forest canopy, seldom coming to the ground”(Zoo Placards- Black Mangabey 2015). The Black Mangabeys are not only some of the most rare monkeys but the most endangered species of monkey(San Diego Zoo Website 2015). The Black crested Mangabeys’ scientific name is the Lophocebus Aterrimus. The Black Mangabey is identified by their black hair and the “long grayish brown whiskers that almost cover their ears and a high crest on their head”(San Diego Zoo Website 2015).

Seargent Major Morris has come to visit Mr. White and his family after 21-years. He had brought along a Monkey 's Paw. He told the family all about its great powers and how it can grant you 3 wishes. Morris had already had its three wishes so he didn 't want the paw anymore. Morris so threw the paw upon the fire. Mr. White with a slight cry stooped down and snatched it off. Morris had warned them about the talisman and its consequences and he did not want to get blamed on if anything happened. Mr. White was just too fascinated about it that he wanted to give it a try and that is how he became the new owner of the Monkey 's Paw.

My observations began at what appeared to be one of the smaller primate enclosures at the Los Angeles Zoo. I believe this was a nonpermanent enclosure for the primates contained within since the temporary signage identified the primates only as “squirrel monkeys”. Further research about the primates at the Los Angeles Zoo led me to believe that these were the “common squirrel monkey” also known as saimiri sciureus. (lazoo.org) Within the enclosure, I observed no more than three squirrel monkeys. There may have been more as there were several hutches in the back of the enclosure, but no more than three were observed at any one point of time. Three is a drastically smaller group than typically found in the wild where squirrel monkeys are often live in

Harry Harlow began researching the act of attachment or the emotional bonding between an infant and their parent or caregiver (Cacioppo & Freberg 2013). He wanted to pinpoint what led to this kind of bonding, so he chose to research the rhesus infant monkeys since they show many of the same types of behavior as humans. In this research, he replaced the biological mothers with a device made of wire that contained a bottle for feeding times, and another replacement made of cloth that would provide comfort, security and safety. After the infants were removed from the birth mothers and put into the environment with the surrogate mothers then Harlow was able to provide his conclusion. He found that the only time the infant monkeys interacted with the wire device was at feeding time and all other times the cloth surrogate was chosen. In fact, they spent a lot of their time with the cloth
