Borneo

the apes surrounding me were refugees from paradise, a paradise that we humans left behind to seek our destinies on the savannas and open lands of the earth. They were survivors of Eden." In my prior years, the time I spent aiding the orangutans in Borneo would never have come to mind as the deciding factor in the path my legacy would take. I mean, countless people like me decide to spend their lives and devote their time to working with the animals and nature that surround us. However, now as I…

Apart from her usual survey, minesweeping and channel marking duties, the little sloop also bombarded Japanese positions in Wewak in support of Australian forces ashore. The last action WARREGO took part in during WW 2 was the landing by Australian soldiers at Balikpapan in Borneo. This was in July 1945 a month from the end of hostilities. When the war ended on the 15th of…

to 60 to 70 years! Most scientist call the African bush elephant the Loxodonta Africana. The next elephant I'm going to talk about is the Borneo elephant. This type of elephant is smaller than any species of elephants; because of their size, the list of natural predators is limited. Tigers occasionally hunt Borneo elephants for food and human hunting has increased in recent days. The last elephant species is the Indian elephant. The indian…

The researchers were limited with some stimulus that could potentially skew the data. The pictures shown to the orangutans were unequal and were different for the male and females. Borneo, the male, was shown an image of himself and only was shown two images of subjects seen only once a month through a grid. In comparison, the females were shown subjects they have seen historically every day for the past 10 years. Furthermore, the…

N. larvatus are unique from other primates because of their red, protruding nose (which may be up to 17.5 cm long in males) and pot belly. The name given as Orang Belanda came from the native that inhabit of Borneo to resemble the Dutch Colonialists (Tisdal & Nantha, 2007). The adult males of N. larvatus have a head and body length of 660-762 mm and weight between 16.0 and 22.5 kg (Nowak, 1999). Proboscis monkey are large reddish-brown monkeys with sexual dimorphism. The males and females are…

evaporation, which lead to vacuum filtration. As a known possibility, some ketone and alcohol was formed and could be associated with the borneol drying out an contaminating the water. Alcohol peaks were depicted on the IR spectrum, meaning that borneo could have remained in the resulting product and a small ketone peak the spectrum. TLC was done to accommodate to the expected results but could not confirm them, although one was done before and after the reaction. Borneol Rf resulted in 0.294…

Orangutans and thousands of other species are effected greatly by the deforestation of their homes within South-East Asia, especially for Orangutans within Borneo and Sumatra. Because of the rapidly growing palm oil industry, 90% of Orangutans wild habitat within Indonesia has been destroyed within the last 20 years. It is estimated that 1000-5000 Orangutans are killed each year from loss of habitat for the palm oil crop development. Countries make money from this industry but they cannot bring…

Monkeys live in lots of places around the world. And monkeys have to adapt to their environment by using their body parts. “Monkeys depend primarily on their eyes to gather information about their surroundings” (Monkey). There are some monkeys that use different body parts because they are in different environments. Since there are different environments in the world, some monkeys use different body parts more often than other monkeys. The Snow Monkeys live in the mountains far up North. Since…
