Apes

everybody was obsessed with Bigfoot?! Well, it appears that the newest obsession is the Skunk Ape. You probably pictured an animal that is literally half skunk and have ape, not quite. It is a big, hairy walking ape. Although the United States National Park Service says that skunk apes are a hoax, it’s obvious that they are real because there are pictures and articles that prove that they do exist. The skunk ape is a hominid cryptid; It is a very tall animal. The males can be up to seven feet tall and

Pongidae, also known as the “great apes,” are capable of using language in a visual way. Some researchers are trying to show that species such as gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, and orangutans are able to learn sign language and use it to communicate with humans. Evolutionarily, the great apes are our closest living relatives, so studies of their linguistic ability could be used to show that we are more related than previously thought. The largest obstacle in great ape language acquisition has been vocabulary

Planet of the Apes by Tim Burton This essay will examine Tim Burton's remake of the science-fiction film 'Planet of the Apes'. 'Planet of the Apes' is the story of astronaut Leo Davidson, who in an attempt to save his chimp is transported through time. Leo crashes in a futuristic time; a planet ruled by apes, where humans are enslaved. Leo is captured, with a tribe, from the slave owner's shop he is bought by a kind chimp, who believes in humans and apes living in

Through watching the movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes, one can compare and contrast primate behavior both in the film and in reality. An analysis of the movie leads one to conclude there are many areas of contrast. Aspects that are considered within the analysis are locomotion, morphology, vocalizations, behavior, intelligence, and genes. In addition to the compare and contrast portion of my research I also examined the pandemic in the film and it’s biological aspects. Through examination of

Ape vs Gorilla An Ape and a Gorilla are two of many in the Great Apes group, Gorillas seem to be very tall and durable. While, Apes however seem to be very small and weak/fragile. Let’s take a look on some more of their differences. Gorillas and Apes might be very similar, but their looks on the other hand are very, very different. First, Gorillas are massive omnivores going around “6 feet and 2 inches tall and coming in at a whopping 350 pounds!”(Ann Elwood). Their fur is a dark black

different from each other? Are Apes different from Gorillas? Are Gorillas more like humans than Apes? Apes is not the same animal as Gorillas. Gorillas are more like humans, but they are the hairy version of humans. First, Apes and Gorillas have a lot of characteristics, and features. An average Ape is 5 feet, 8 inches, or 5 feet, 9 inches. Apes have 2 legs, but they use their arms as 2 extra pair of legs, medium size muscles, 5 fingers of each hand, and 5 toes on each foot. Apes can be many colors black

the piece is written. Examining artifacts such as books, plays, or music is a way to gain insight into the social, political, and cultural attitudes of that time period. An example of a primary source of the 1920s would be Eugene Oneill’s the Hairy Ape. In this play, the main character Yank falls victim to a technological movement, the Industrial Revolution. New ideas, technologies, and cultures were emerging, and Yank has to deal with the adversity of post WWI America. The play begins with a scene

The Planet of the Apes franchise completely overtook the film industry starting in 1968, after the original film hit theaters. Since then, there has been a reboot, two sequels, merchandise, and even a TV series. This film was such a success for many reasons- its clever allegories to race, religion, and politics, the phenomenal makeup and costume design, the world-building that was almost unheard of in 1968 (maybe even giving inspiration for the world-building in the first Star Wars film which hit

of the past to better understand human evolution. I was able to watch the San Diego Zoo’s Ape Cam for over an hour back and forth the Orangutan was golden brown in color and looked very spectacular. The Ape was very quiet and peaceful in captivity it didn’t move around much. It was sitting down eating tree leaves similar as how a human sat on a chair in that particular manner for over half an hour. The Ape has similar body function processes as humans in terms of using its hands to eat & buttocks

The movie that I choose to watch is “The Rise of the Planet of the Apes”. In class we learned that primates have different categories. The categories include; movement, reproduction, intelligence and behavior patterns. In the movie, the main ape, Caesar, as well as the other primates in the movie shows examples of these categories. Although, like most modern day movies, some behaviors and characteristics are not true and do not relate to the material that we studied in class. This film was made in
