Although it is apparent that both wild and captive capuchin monkeys are able to manipulate objects into tools, the two monkeys do share a variety of similarities and differences. Both wild and capuchin monkeys have the same physical features and capabilities. For example, they are both able to swing through branches and climb trees since they are quadrupedal animals. They both have prehensile tails that they can use to help them forage for food or stabilize their balance when moving from place to

1.) According to the data collected, the Intermembral index for each of the six primates observed from highest to lowest is: Gibbon (127), Howler monkey (102), Baboon (94), Macaque (89), Marmoset (74), Human (69). From this grouping, the Gibbon is the primate whose IM at 127 is the highest percentage, and this indicates that their upper limbs are significantly longer than their lower limbs. In contrast, the Human, with an IM of only 69 serves as the lowest percentage of the examples given, and this

Introduction: The proboscis monkey is an endangered species that's endemic to the Southeast Asian island of Borneo (The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2015). It is a distinctively sexually dimorphic species. The male can be easily identified phenotypically by its large overhanging nose and heavily built body, while the female has a much smaller nose and is less than half the size of the male (Gaulin and Sailer 1984).
