However, this dog breed is not recommended to become a house pet as it is more associated with the wild. It lives and thrives better if it is placed in its own habitat.

Theses monkeys prefer to have polygamy system for reproduction. All of the female members have their own male partner. Because of this system, they create the unique group behavior for the female

Biological Anthropology is the study of human biology within the framework of evolution. There are four subfields of Biological Anthropology; genetics, human variation, paleoanthropology, and primatology. Primatology is the study of non-human primates and I find it the most interesting of the four subfields. The study of Primatology focuses on the biological and psychological aspects of non-human primates. Also it looks at the similarities shared between humans and primates. Primatologists focus

Primate Diet Adaptations Primates are some of the best-adapted animals in the planet. Throughout time their dentition has evolved into different patterns and forms, best fitted for their environment. From the early prosimians, to the modern men, the changes are a prime example of how diverse primates are. Throughout primate evolution, the changes in diet can be correlated with the changes in dentition patterns; however, dentition pattern can be different between male and female, and hold other

What is “cute as a button”, eats bananas, and just looks absolutely adorable in little tutus and little suits? What are ripped away from their mother’s bellies when they are only weeks old to be shipped and sold? What is surrogate children for lonely people; what turns on their “masters” or “owners” out of nowhere when they sexually mature?
