Research Paper On Gorilla

Decent Essays
As soon as we got there, there was already a large number of people swarming around the railing of the gorilla exhibit. And there was a child only three years of age sitting in the enclosure just feet away from life or death. Soon Harambre, the gorrilla began dragging this poor helpless boy by the feet. Animal control was standing by, I looked over at my husband to ask him what happened but as soon as the words were coming out of my mouth I hear a monstrous moan. I look back over and I see harambre laying there in his pool of blood struggling to stay alive. Everyone began to clapping and you could hear the mother crying tears of joy. But clapping soon faded and turned into panic, people began to scatter and screams of terror filled the zoo.

    Primates, a small group of mammals, including monkeys, apes, lemurs, bushbabies, lorises, tarsiers, and humans. Now, what makes a primate different from all animals, one of the reasons being that they have all retained the ancient mammalian trait of pentadactylism. This means that with the exception of spider monkeys, they all have 10 fingers and 10 toes total. Along with their hands and feet, on each finger and toe they all have fingernails, meanwhile they all have opposable thumbs- just because a mammal has opposable thumbs doesn’t mean that they are primates. Their thumbs are an important trait because all primates are great climbers-…

    Culture is a society’s shared and socially transmitted ideas and characteristics used to generate behavior and reflect behavior and other primates besides humans, like gorillas, chimps, and orangutans do, in fact, have culture.

    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.…
