    No matter what they plan to make their next meal, monkeys have developed adaptations that help them hunt their food. Prehensile tails, large family groups and the use of tools all make sure monkeys have a full belly. Prehensile means they are able to use their tail almost like a third hand, using it to help them hang or climb from branches. The head and body of adult howler monkeys range from twenty-two to thirty-six inches long and their tail adds twenty-three to thirty-six inches. Other monkeys such as capuchins and howler monkeys use their tails to get around in their homes, which is trees. Since most of their diet contains leaves, having a prehensile tail makes reaching almost all parts of the tree for a meal a breeze. They also use their tails to hang from branches while…

    When an infant does not have the proper care and nurturing they grow up with emotional deprivation that cannot be healed if treated too late. In a study, done by Harry Harlow and Margaret Harlow on rhesus monkeys, they found that monkeys who did not have a mother figure in their lives were more emotionally incapable to deal with stressful situations, and they didn’t know how to raise their own offspring. On the other hand, the monkeys who were raised with a stand in cloth mannequin of sorts were more able to deal with stress than those who had been raised in isolation. At the conclusion of the study of the rhesus monkeys the Harlow’s noticed that even though some of the monkeys had a stand in for a mother they were not the same as monkeys who had been raised by real mothers. A mother’s love is most important in the development of an infant.…

    Banana slugs are often bright yellow (giving rise to the banana sobriquet) although they may also be greenish, brown, tan, or white. The species Ariolimax columbianus sometimes has black spots that are so extensive that the animal looks almost entirely black. Individual slugs will change colors with alterations in food consumption, light exposure, and moisture levels. Color may also indicate whether a slug is healthy or injured or what age it is.[4]…

    Major groups of primates

    I thought that this question was very interesting because primates are the closest living relatives to humans. Primates are fascinating because they resemble a primitive or basal version of ourselves and at the same time are also quite different from us as well. There is a large number of primate species both in the African and Asian continents as well as in the Americas. Those species that are found in Africa and Asia are collectively called old world monkeys and apes. The species found in the Americas are known as new world monkeys. An interesting feature that many of the new world monkeys have that old world monkeys do not is a prehensile tail which can be used as a fifth limb. Another interesting difference is that thanks in part to their prehensile tails the new world monkeys are almost entirely arboreal while the old world monkeys are both terrestrial and arboreal.…

    The Monkey’s Paw, written by W.W. Jacobs, is a short story about the consequences of messing with fate. Mr. White is a simple man living with his wife, Mrs. White, and his grown son, Herbert. One evening Sergeant-Major Morris, a family friend back from India, visits them and shows them a monkey’s paw he had gotten there, saying that it will grant a man three wishes, but that it was made to prove that when you mess with fate, bad things happen. Even with the warning, Mr. White uses the monkey’s paw to grant his wishes, and soon pays the price. I think the theme of this story is basically, “Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.”…

    Essay On Primates

    • 480 Words

    This is due to the reduction of the olfactory region of the brain and the reliance on their sense of smell. Other parts of the primate brain have become larger through evolution in order to accommodate social behaviors, sight and eye-hand coordination. The result is an increase in the overall brain-to-body ratio which is larger than other mammals. Primates also have eyes that are arranged in a forward facing position to give them stereoscopic vision; thereby enhancing depth perception.…

    There is a lot I learned studying the primates. Primates are very fascinating and I think there is a lot more to learn about them. Primates have many different characteristics and because of this they are classified in different groups of species. I did my observation on prosimians, monkeys, and apes as well. The observation was conducted at the Sacramento Zoo of nine primate species. Out of the nine there are three primates that caught my attention and it’s the Ring Tail Lemur, White Faced Saki, and the Chimpanzee. All the observation took place almost in the afternoon during their feeding time and they were not that active but were still able to observe their behavior.…
