Ape

Throughout the world, there are multitudes of different species between the monkey and ape families. Chimpanzees follow under the species of the great apes which consist of the common chimpanzee; that most people are familiar with. The chimpanzee lives in the dense tropical rainforest of Africa. With this is mind, chimpanzees have been made to have certain features that allows them to survive effectively within their environment. One of the essential features of chimpanzees is their size. A chimpanzee

obtain similar size hands relating to humans. At the age of 4, Junior had a hand size that was silk at to my own. b) Gorillas have opposable thumbs. c) Gorillas closely related to humans have nails instead of claws. 2. Tail a) Gorillas being great apes don’t have tails. 3. Gorillas don’t have ischial callosities 4. This Gorilla family exhibits arms that are longer than their legs. 5. The primary form of locomotion for these gorillas is knuckle-walking. 6. Leon shows significant signs of sexual dimorphism

I never even questioned myself if animals knew they were having babies through intercourse. I assumed that they would know that by nature. The author Dunsworth uses Koko as an example to explain that animals do not really know where babies come from. Koko is an older gorilla who cannot have babies due to her age, but caretaker Penny gave Koko options of how she would like to receive a baby. Penny gave Koko a list of four options, three of them consisted of babies joining her with her mate Ndume

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. Howler monkeys can be heard from up to 3 miles away. They live in the savannas and forests in South America. They eat birds, fruits

Brian Hefferon Monkeys, Apes and Man Primate Behavior 8 February 2017 Mountain Gorilla Behavior Apes and primates come in all different shapes and sizes. They all exhibit different characteristics and most importantly different behaviors that separate these different primates. The thing that is the most fascinating is really how similar they are to us. The similarities go past structure, similarities can also be seen in their behavior and how they think similar to a rational human being. Gorillas

monogamous partnerships and have sex without regard to age or gender, except for avoidance of relations between a mother and her adult sons. One more reason I found these primates to be unique compared to others was how they were the most vocal of the great apes. Their vocal communication is quite complex, they frequently and often use hand gestures as

Over the years, this topic of whether nonhuman primates possess culture or not, has generated numerous debates. This has led to conversations on what is culture and if it is uniquely human. How each researcher defines culture correlates with whether they believe non-human primates possess culture. The definitions provided by scientists and other researchers vary based on its complexity and how loosely or specific they define it; as well as how inclusive and exclusive they are about what is considered

Many would say chimpanzees are our long lost relatives. They have many traits that may mirror human beings and they are able to show signs of communication. Whether it be playing pranks on their handlers or simply telling them they are hungry, chimpanzees are highly intellectual creatures that are misunderstood. In “Next of Kin,” a book written by psychologist Roger Fouts, notices and appreciates this intellectual behavior shown from our hairy relatives. For centuries chimpanzees have been practicing

Introduction There are many similarities and differences in primate species.The ones I chose to focus on today was the Philippine tarsier, Mandrill and the gibbon. What made me choose these non- human primates so interesting was the uniqueness and appearance of each primate. I plan to explain the similarities of their teeth structure and purposes and the similarities of their diet and feeding and also the differences of their behaviors. Mandrills are extremely colorful, perhaps more so than

they differ in many other ways when we go deeper in physical, and behavioral traits. However, both species also share the majority part of their DNA with Humans. Based on some reliable researches, some scientists realized that humans did not come from apes but instead shared common ancestors. As a matter of fact, humans and Primates are different, but share most of their genome, explaining why we found some similar patterns of behavior among humans, and
