Sapolsky, and the book takes place on a reserve in Kenya. Robert Sapolsky is a brilliant author, American scientist, and he’s practically a member of a baboon tribe. The book is structured around…

the Cincinnati zoo a little boy with the age of three fell into the enclosure of the 17-year-old gorilla. Some argue that the Grillo was trying to save the child, while other argue that the gorilla was actually harming him. The gorilla, named Harambe, had to grabbed the child and dragged him across the moat. Many filmed as this was happening. In the exhibit the gorilla was an endangered lowland gorilla. There are many arguments as to what happened but the hulking ape was shot down regardless in…

Do you want me to tell you about a gorilla who got shot in a zoo species? Well guess what you're in luck. I’m talking about the western lowland gorilla. They have the same fingerprint as us but also unique nose print. According to National Geographic's, it states that these animals stand at 4-6 ft (1.2-1.8 m) and weigh 150-400 lbs. They have brownish-gray hair. They’re small yet strong. Again according to National Geographic's males are more aggressive and males are known as silveracks. And…

They can be found in most of Africa, central to southern Asia, India and Japan. They belong to family Cercopithecidae, which share a few characteristics with New World Monkey, unlike their location.

rights to gorillas. These rights are used to protect these primates from experimentation, torture, and medical testing. Sadly one of the countries that does not have rights for apes is America. Even though America does not have rights for apes, there are many people who believe that apes should have rights because they too can express emotion, have families, and have the ability to understand language. Jane Goodall was one of the most important people to advocate for the rights of gorillas.…

1.1 Concept of robot: After studying various methods to climb a rope or rod, we came to conclude that a coconut tree climbers method was the best suited for the job. It resembles the motion of a sloth. It uses both pairs of its limbs (fore limbs and hind limbs) to climb a rope and a tree. It moves both its hind limbs in one step and then both its fore limbs in another. Each pair of limbs acts as a gripper. Only one pair of limbs is used at a time for gripping the tree (while in motion) while…

We as humans are much more similar to chimpanzees than we believe. While reading through the book by Jane Goodall, “Through a Window, My Thirty Years with the Chimpanzees of Gombe”, I noticed many references as to why humans and chimpanzees can be of comparison with one another. Another source that I got information about chimpanzees and them being so similar to humans is the video clip watched in class, “Monkey in the Mirror”, this video explains the cognitive learning of chimpanzees and it…

With the Apes: Birute Galdikas Reaches Camp Leakey "I felt to the marrow of my bones . . . that 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…

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. Chimps copy each other into adulthood developing cultural behaviors by imitating their peers and research on gorillas, chimps and orangutans have shown they use tools, communicate with each other and even mourn the deaths of each other. This research paper will explain…
