    Chapter 6 discussed the distinct characteristics of primates and how they compare to other mammals and the text highlights some specific traits to consider. Along with arboreal adaptation-or the ability to live in trees- and diet plasticity, primates also practice parental investment. Instead of having hundreds or thousands of offspring, primates will invest more time and attention to a very small number of offspring that are smarter, more socially involved, and have greater chances of reaching maturity. There are a few defining characteristics of parental investment; the first being fertility. Like humans, primates will mostly give birth to one offspring at a time; occasionally two or three.…

    Bonobos and chimpanzees are a unique pair of organisms that are a great example of how two different species are so closely related, but are so distant in characteristics. Both bonobos and chimpanzees fall with in the same genius but are two different species altogether. Two million years ago both bonobos and chimpanzees originated from the same common ancestor, making the genome of the two species about 99.6 percent identical. Yet, differences between bonobos and chimpanzees are revealed when we compare their appearance, social behavior and governing societies. The Congo is the only place where bonobos are found, and because of tensions between the people of the country, the study of bonobos in the wild has been very difficult.…

    Bonobo Habitat Threatened by Human Activity and Forest Loss - As human populations grow and spread, clearing patches of forest along the way, the habitat of one of mankind's closest living relatives is shrinking - avoids areas of high human activity and forest fragmentation and that as little as 28 percent of the bonobo's range remains suitable for living. - human activities reduce the amount of effective bonobo habitat and will help us identify where to propose future protected areas for this great ape. " - Bonobos are probably the least understood great ape in Africa, so this paper is pivotal in increasing our knowledge and understanding of this beautiful and charismatic animal." - The bonobo, once referred to as the pygmy chimpanzee, is smaller in size and more slender in build than the common chimpanzee. -…

    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…

This New World Primate was created to be free, not to be our pets or food, and neither were their habitats created to serve us as a agriculture or farm land, mining sites, or as our…

    A trip to the zoo is always enlightening as no matter how long ago it was we last visited we can always forget something about the animals that live this world with us. Going to the zoo can remind us that we are creatures just like these animals, but also remind us that we are so much more than just animals. Our lives on the surface seem so much more complex than the primates around us, however if we could take the time to observe the lives and the emotions of the animals around us then maybe we can learn who they are, and maybe who we are. The primate that I picked was a mongooses lemur, native to Madagascar.…

There is around 500 colobus monkeys within a radius of 18-square- kilometer of the chimpanzee’s habitat. “It has been observed that roughly 75 to 175 colobus monkeys are killed by chimpanzee on a yearly biases.…
