Ape

Primates can be defined as an order of mammals that includes apes, humans, monkeys, lemurs, tarsiers and lorises. According to the evolutionary history, originally primates evolved from their ancestors who lived on trees. Today there are approximately 235 species of primates, and they all range in their habitats and sizes. Thus, the biggest primate is lowland gorilla, whose weight is around 180 kilos, while the smallest one is mouse lemur living on Madagascar. Its weight is only 30 grams. There

States (“Alternatives to Chimp Testing,” 2008). In 2012, there was a bill called the Great Ape Protection Act (GAPA) to restrict the use of chimpanzees in biomedical research in the United States. There are huge debates whether this bill is necessary or not. Without us realizing, we actually have moral obligations to chimpanzees. Thus, all laws that against and restrict chimpanzees testing, such as the Great Ape Protection Act (GAPA) plays an important role and we should support the bills and laws because

As humans, we find it easy to conclude that we are the smartest, most superior beings on the planet. What is it that makes us so certain that this is true?  Animals do not speak our language, so we make the judgment that they are less. If we look beyond our own form of verbal communication, we may find that the domesticated animals we keep as pets are trying to communicate with us sometimes, especially dogs. Do they not greet us at the door, running with a wagging tail? Do they not try to warn and

Monkey, any of a large and varied group of mammals of the primate order. The term monkey includes all primates that do not belong to the categories human, ape, or prosimian; however, monkeys do have certain common features. All are excellent climbers, and most are primarily arboreal. Nearly all live in tropical or subtropical climates. Unlike most of the prosimians, or lower primates, they are almost all day-active animals. Their faces are usually flat and rather human in appearance, their eyes point

This essay will be looking at how media text used to be and how it is now as a case study for this article Tarzan will be used. It will include how Tarzan become and what fans feel about the new Movie ‘The Legend of Tarzan’. Fandom and textual poaching will be used and it will explain how the story of Tarzan comic and the movie The Legend of Tarzan has changed. In fact it will include a reflection to the question whether my thoughts have changed through engaging with the case study research and weather

In this practical the aim was to go to the Adelaide Zoo and investigate whether a smaller sized enclosure results in less active animal behaviour. The hypothesis is that if animals have a smaller sized enclosure it results in less active animal behaviour. The group of animals chosen to study was primates and the particular species are; Siamangs, Baboons, Orang-utans and Gibbons. These animals were chosen because they all have different enclosure sizes so their behaviour can be recorded and then compared

chimpanzees are monkeys, they are great apes. (savethechimps.org). The chimpanzee population in the last few years has diminished drastically and this has cause them to become endangered species. Like humans the chimpanzees lives in “communities” they also have a hierarchy, and they consume a diet of vegetables, meats and fruits. (savethechimps.org). Although humans and chimpanzee are considered relatives, humans are one of the biggest threats to the great ape. Humans are one of the biggest reasons

in the Mirror” also shows support for our likeness in intellectuality. These documented findings on chimpanzee and human resemblances provides the strong evidence needed to conclude the fact that humans do indeed share a common ancestor with great apes. I found Goodall’s chapter Mothers and Daughters very fascinating, and caught my interest the most because I immediately found myself making connections within my own life and experiences. Goodall compared the parenting styles of the two mothers,

Evolution is a story that is often told in books, films, and school. It is only normal that when being taught something at such a young age that one will only begin to believe what is being taught. The story of evolution, which states that humans come from monkeys, is a bit of a controversial one. Humans did not evolve from monkeys, nor did they evolve from chimpanzees or any other type of primate extant today. Animals alive today are not the same animals that existed when humans were first recorded

Think for an instance about life without zoos or aquariums. You might cheer because of the thought that the animals are free, you may feel upset because you will no longer see your favorite animal, or perhaps you could feel indifferent. Nonetheless, zoos and aquariums are a humane and essential resource to understanding our life, our species, and our world. Constructing zoos and aquariums are an ethical and beneficial practice because they are places that provide human contact with nature and animals
