    Orangutans are somewhat solitary species but to some degree as also somewhat social. Flanged adult male orangutans are the most solitary of all orangutans with their participation in social activity limited to short sexual encounters with adults or sub adult females; however, there were none of these at the zoo. Male orangutans normally do not even play a role in the upbringing of their offspring. Females do associate with their offspring and they have a relationship that lasts for many years sometimes being carried by their mother until the age of five and even being breastfed until the age of eight; however, the young’s time spent with other orangutans is brief. Offspring typically remain close to their mother until ten years of age, and…

    Most couple were heterosexual and only had one child, and the degree of sexual dimorphism was high, females had longer hair, made up faces, and mammary glands, whereas the males had shorter hair, plain faces, but wore brighter colors. Their limbs seemed to be of equal length, but their thighs looked noticeably stronger than their forearms. The homo sapiens had no harsh brow bones, and front facing eyes. They were walking (bipedally). I saw other humans, taking notes on the other primates, and small children screaming, or crying, what I thought was strange was how the parents of the offspring ignored many of the cries of their children.…

    Out of three categories of male orangutans (dominant adult males, other adult males and subadult/flanged males) dominant males have the smallest home ranges, which corresponds to their decreased difficulty in finding a mate due to their sexual favorability. Other adult males and subadult males require larger home ranges in order to allow them to find a female who will willingly mate with them, or in the case of subadult males, who can be overpowered. Males of this species, like females do not display territorial behavior and individual’s home ranges, again, often overlap.…

    Looking at monkeys in a habitat together you can see the group as a community just like us humans. They sometimes eat together, bathe and groom together and just have some fun at times. It is easy to see who the older monkeys in the group are as they watch over and scold the younger adolescents. The babies are looked after and carried around just like humans. I also believe that monkeys can be sad and mourn the loss of one of their groups.…
