Majungasaurus was an average sized (compared to it’s close relatives) theropod dinosaur that lived in Madagascar from 70 to 66 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous Period. Like other abelisaurids (members of the family Abelisauridae) , the Majungasaurus was a two-footed predator with a short snout. Although the forelimbs are not completely known as of yet, they were very short, while the hind limbs were longer and quite stocky. It can be distinguished from other dinosaurs in it’s…
Kaylee Smith Summarizing From Your Sources The two Great Apes that I choose to research are the bonobos and the chimpanzees. Bonobo: Scientists believe that Bonobos are the the closest relative Great Apes to humans, but the formerly called pygmy chimpanzees are now endangered, and still are quite mysterious. Humans don’t know a lot about the bonobos like they do with the chimpanzees or gorillas. What we do know is that the bonobo species are mostly on the smaller side, and have small faces,…

When we talk about monkeys, we know that there are various kinds of them. Scientifically speaking, they all fall under the order known as Primates. Primates are further divided into two suborders known as Prosimians and Anthropoids. Capuchins are monkeys that belong to a superfamily called Ceboidea (New world monkeys), which falls under the suborder Anthropoids (Downing). Capuchins are usually brown or black in color, some of them with a white face, depending upon the species. Their weight can…
“Flora and fauna were vitally important to her pre-Columbian ancestors and during her life this precious resource was cultivated by the oppressed indigenous population she championed. She connects herself to the natural world by echoing the hairs on the vegetation and monkey in her own tresses, styled in her signature indigenous fashion. This bond with nature is reinforced by the curves of her monkey’s arm that embrace her neck, the root-like ribbon slung around the monkey (which she used as a…
The Smallest Monkey: Pygmy Marmoset The pygmy marmoset is one of the smallest primates to ever live on earth. Pygmy marmosets have a very distinct habitat, family classification, and physical characteristics that make it a unique monkey. Pygmy Marmosets are found only the deep forests located in various countries. They roam high up in the trees of the forest, and blend in very well with their surroundings. They live in the forests of Columbia, Brazil, Ecuador, and parts of Bolivia (Pygmy…
see the gorillas. Tarzan, despite being told not to lead the humans to the gorillas by Kerchak, leads the humans to the gorillas all for Jane. His desire to help Jane also helps him hoping that she stays. His emotions that he feels for her are so great that he would not listen to the alpha because of his love for Jane. In Phil Collins song Strangers Like Me he sings, “Every gesture, very move that she makes, Makes me feel like never before, Why do I have, This growing need to be inside her, Ooo,…
Research Report on Squirrel Monkey On my research at the Oakland Zoo was quite boring in a way that watching monkeys and other animals is a waste of time and waste of $15. However, I did come across the Squirrel Monkey and begin taking some notes on my phone and retype it on my computer. In the observation the Squirrel Monkeys are really active and tends to move in groups. Anyway I hypothesize that male Squirrel Monkey is the same size as the female Squirrel Monkey. The habitat the Squirrel…
