Neil Rao 10/18/17 Differences Between Gorillas and Chimps Gorillas and chimps are both members of the great apes family. They have some similarities and differences, and both will be listed. Gorillas may look intimidating with their size and forceful look. They are actually very gentle. Gorillas also have a caring human like nature and behavior. Gorillas can be powerful and forceful when it comes to their young, they are very nurturing and care for their young. Gorillas play a large role in…

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…

Primate Research John Richard Tecuautzin Primate Research The purpose of this project is to do research and to take note of the behavioral habits between two primate species. This project will major on the orangutan species and the gorilla species. In addition to the research, I will allocate each primate time to enable me monitor their behavior and habits. Gorillas and the orangutans live in the forests where they spend most of their time in the trees and eat wild fruits and plants as…

unique characteristics that separate them from monkey, the most obvious one being the lack of a tail. They also have an appendix, a wide and shallow chest, a shoulder structure that allows the arm to rotate freely, and the most complex brain among primates. They are usually larger with a more upright posture that allows some of them them to walk on two legs. It is the ball and socket joint in their shoulder that allows apes and monkeys to swing in trees. Great apes are more intelligent with the…

Jason Ramdat, Lab Essay #2, Lab Code 1B, 12/8/14 Vertebrates’ forelimbs are anterior appendages of animals that are in the subphylum vertebrata. There are several bones that makes up a forelimb includes the radius, ulna, humerus, carpal, metacarpals, and phalanges. The humerus is a single heavy bone which articulates with the body and forms the foundation of the limb; the radius and ulna are lighter and provides support in addition to a greater range of movement (AMNH Plaque). The carpals,…

The first primate was a Lemur and it’s a prosimian. The common name for lemurs is the Ring-tailed lemur. (Los Angeles website) The scientific name for Lemurs is Lemur for genus and L. catta for species. (edu) The family name is called Lemuridae. (edu) Lemurs are typically found in the wild of Madagascar. (edu) The habitat lemurs exploit the forest areas that contain trees and plants but their home is at risk due to humans disturbing their home. (edu) Lemurs eat fruits like watermelon but find…

understanding of the self as a causal agent with the ability to affect outcomes. This evolutionary model would explain, from an evolutionary perspective, why self-concept seems to be limited to the great apes. Although there are several extant arboreal primate species, today’s orangutans may provide the most direct example of the ancestral condition Povinelli and Cant have suggested – large, primarily arboreal, orthograde, and often executing complex clambering and brachiating movements. The…

these to express their emotions rather than carrying on a personal conversation as humans do. According to Liveverse.com, Kate Mulcahy explains how the size of the brain also contributes to the social aspect of the two species as well. She explains, “Primate social group sizes closely reflect their brain sizes. Chimpanzees have about 50 close friends and acquaintances, whereas humans have between 150 and 200.” This shows how chimps’ social skills are not as nearly developed as humans because of…
