    The sesamoid bone of this species resembles that of a red panda which supports taxonomic relationship placing it in the Ailuridae family, the same as the red panda. The Simocyon batelleri fossils suggest that traits such as tree living environments and hyper carnivore diets were present (Glatston, 2010). This trait which is also included in giant pandas, noting they are a different species than that of the red panda, challenge the hypothesis whether the red panda and giant panda are actually related. This is because the presence of the pseudo-thumb found in the Simocyon, is not the only indicator of common ancestry between the two species, but structure of the teeth come into play as well. Fossil evidence shows that the diet of a Simocyon would have a more general carnivorous diet instead of an herbivorous diet that both red and giant pandas have.…

    There is one animal in the primate family that has several distinct characteristics unique to that species. This is known as the Gibbon Ape. Gibbons are “endangered, small apes, that are known as the world’s greatest acrobats” (Gibbon Center, 2012). According to Enchanted Learning (1999), “gibbons’ lightweight appearance consists of a small, round head, very long arms, and a short, slender body’’ (Enchanted Learning, 1999). Although they do not look like humans, gibbons have senses very similar to ours including “hearing, sight, color vision, smell, taste, and touch” (Enchanted Learning, 1999).…

Without her compassion for the mountain gorillas of central Africa, we might be living in a world where these magnificent animals no longer exist. Fossey lived among the mountain gorillas of the Virunga Volcanoes for nearly twenty years. She dedicated her life to them and died trying to protect them.…

    Many Primatologist has been trying to find the connection among humans, ape, and monkeys. That this two primates has almost the same genetics to humans indicating them as the closest relatives of anthropoids, but while some disagree with this point saying that the apes and monkeys are nothing compared to humans because of differences in physical biology and advanced intelligence.

    Los Angeles Zoo Primates Our day at the zoo simply started with the objective of completing our visit, by seeing at least one each of the primates of each category around the zoo. That was quickly discarded considering that amount of information that the zoo provided for us about each individual creature. Because of the way that the zoo was structured we were unable to simply follow a particular order in which the animals were categorized. We visited all the different primates (as much as we could possibly see in our time there) and simply observed them each and photograph their actions behaviors and appearance along with potential eats and actives that may undergo on a daily base. Organizing the visits based on categories made it easier to structure and understand why it is that each type of primate belongs to that group.…
