Chimpanzee

The blue whale is the largest animal on the planet. It has a heart the size of a VW beetle. The blue whale is at the top of the food chain. Climate change, habitat loss, and ship strikes are all threats to its survival. Pan Troglodytes (Chimpanzee) The chimpanzee is the human’s closest cousin. They have already disappeared completely from four countries. Poaching and disease are two very big threats. Black Rhino (Diceros bicornis) Black Rhinos are virtually living fossils. Their protection…

message. Personally I've been really impressed by the description of the moment just after the rainstorm. In only one paragraph the writer expressed all five senses from the herd of the birds to scents of the fruit, wet bark, the damp odor of chimpanzee hair and so on. Through her descriptive writing the view of the morning dew becomes a net of diamonds lit by a "pale watery sun" and the birds' twitter is compared to a feathered symphony. At first glance Goodall's essay can be interpreted…

Dame Jane Morris Goodall was born April 3,1934 in London to Mortimer Herbert Morris-Goodall and Margaret Myfanwe Joseph. She was later married and was then formally known as Baroness Jane Van Lawick-Goodall. She was married to Hugo Van Lawick from 1964 through 1974. She then in 1975 married Derek Bryceson until their divorce in 1980. She is very well known for studying chimpanzees and all the contributions and such that has increased that very field today. In July 1960, Jane goodall traveled…

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. -…

1. What is bushmeat hunting? Why is it so harmful to primate populations? Bushmeat is any wild animal that is hunted and eaten from a forest. Bushmeat hunting means hunting animals that are already going extinct (or will soon be extinct). This is a threat to primates and will cause their extinction because it takes around 10 to 20 years to replace them in the environment. Since they keep being hunted, they can’t really keep pace to replace their population with the amount humans are killing.…

B. M. de Waal illustrates the physical and environment difference between chimpanzee and bonobo. Furthermore, he analyzes bonobo’s sexual life which facilitate bonobo’s unique socio-cultural environment. First, he emphasizes that bonobo is not just a smaller versions of chimpanzees, they are completely different species. Bonobo “was assigned the status of an entirely distinct species within the same genus as the chimpanzee, pan.” Unlike chimpanzees, bonobos live in the female-centered and…

affected by individuals whom have MCPH. To test their hypothesis, they use Koch’s Postulates to identify whether the ASPM gene is responsible to MCPH. In this study (Kouprina, 2004), they isolated the ASPM gene homologue from gorillas, orangutan, chimpanzee and macaque through Transformation Associated Recombination…

Concurrently, I still could not let go of art. I was stuck between the two. Now back to the chimp. It was sophomore year when I took an anatomy and physiology class. My teacher assigned a project--a virtual chimpanzee dissection, where we research several organ systems of the chimpanzee, identify the function of each organ, and compare it to the human anatomy. The best part was, “You will also be required to draw the anatomy of both the chimp and the human.” Unlike the other students who…

helping deliver a child when a nearby infirmary is not accessible, or dispatching a gang in the parking lot. The trunk monkey is also portrayed as an effective theft deterrent, as seen in one commercial where the chimpanzee knocks out a would-be car thief and throws him off a bridge. The chimpanzee also administers first aid to the driver after an accident. In addition, its security abilities…

One of Kohler’s chimpanzee was given two bamboo poles, neither of which was long enough to reach the fruit place outside the cage. However, the poles could be fitted together to make a longer pole. After many unsuccessful attempts to reach the fruit with one of the short poles, the chimpanzee gave up, started playing with the poles instead, and accidentally joined them together by pushing the narrower pole inside the hollow end of the other. The chimpanzee then jumped up and immediately…
