Monkey's Are Made Of Chocolate Summary
“Monkey’s Are Made of Chocolate”
This article was very interesting and informative. It takes place in the 1970’s, on a 815 acre reserve named Hacienda Baru National Wildlife Refuge. On the refuge there is a lot of animals that are dependent on the forest as a means of survival. One animal in particular that the article talks about is the Whitefaced Capuchin (Cebus capuchin), which is a black small primate with a white head and chest, and has a human like face.
In the 1970’s there was less natural habitation and more farm and pasture land. On the reserve there are three forests. There is one large and two small forests that are separated by rice fields and cattle pasture. For a monkey to get the other forest it meant that they would have to

To be able to sustain life to all living creatures there has to be a balance in the scales. If it takes restoring the land to the natural forest to ensure the survival of all living creatures that dwell within it, then I say “Do it!”
When we do this we are not only ensuring the survival of the animals in the rainforest but we are also creating a healthier balanced environment for ourselves in the process. So in the long run we all benefit from helping in replenishing the forests. I also feel that it is important that we as humans stop and realize that we have caused what has happened. And now we need to look into ways of fixing it before it is too late to fix.
When we look back at the article, it states that due to the reforesting of the rainforest will ensure that the monkeys, 3 toed sloth, amphibians, reptiles, and a million other creatures a place to live and grow in harmony with humans in the environment. So I say, “Let’s keep up the work on restoring the natural balance for a healthier more viable rainforest, so that all animals and humans can have better quality of life.” Hopefully through this class I can gain a

    Four factors that limit the primate’s diet is plant defense, the reproduction status of a female, seasonality, and competition. Plants can use physical barriers to stop animals from eating them. For example, some plants will use thorns others will use certain substances that make digestion difficult, resulting in small quantity conception. Female primates who are pregnant require more calories, meaning they need to obtain more food. If they are lactating they require 50% more calories compared to when they are not breastfeeding or pregnant, according to the online lecture of Primate Ecology. Seasonality proves as a challenge due to food sources becoming scarce. Depending on their location primates may look at small sources that have calories that will help their dietary needs. Lastly, competition will occur when there is a small supply of food primates will compete. Once they begin to compete for the primate who cannot defend itself might not be able to obtain any food.…

    The Amazon Jungle is the world’s largest tropical rainforest. It is nearly 6 million square kilometers in size and houses the widest variety of plant and animal life than any other place on the planet. It also is home to the second largest river on Earth, the Amazon River. The jungle is mostly in Brazil, but it also spreads to eight neighboring countries in South America; Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guyana. (Webmaster, “Amazon Jungle facts and history in brief”) There are believed to be around 6,000 different species of trees just in the Brazilian region of the Amazon. (Browder 247) Because of the mass amounts of plant…

    During her first year at Gombe she saw how male chimpanzee named David Greybeard stripped off the leaves of the vine, made a hole with his index finger in the termite nest and pushed the vine into the nest. He then withdrew the vine and ate the termites that had attached onto it (82). In 2007 Jill Pruetz of Iowa State University who studied chimpanzees at Fongoli in the Senegal savannah reported a female chimp named Tumbo sharpening the branch with her teeth and using it as a spear to hunt bush babies (squirrel size nocturnal primates that hide in tree-trunk hollows). “Over a span of 17 days at the start of the 2006 rainy season, Pruetz saw the chimps hunt bush babies 13 times.…

    The way a story is told is completely different depending on the narrator because of their point of view. An example of this incident is in the passage from Nathaniel Hawthorne¡¯s The House of the Seven Gables. The sarcastic way that the character Judge Pyncheon is revealed through the narrator is distinguished through the narrator¡¯s (not the author¡¯s) style of writing including tone, selection of detail, and syntax.…

    The two monkey’s diets are relatively close, but there are significant differences. The bonobo’s diet consists of bugs, bark, flowers, and fruit. Similarly, chimpanzees eat bugs, bark, and flowers, but they also have a taste for meat such as squirrels and other small mammals. They both also love honey, and their…

    The first group of primates I mainly observed were the Bonobos, also known as the pygmy chimps to many. On this occasion a youngster running around wildly on two legs and looking back as if something or another Bonobo was following him caught my immediate attention. I sat there observing him for about 5 minutes, he wasn’t paying attention at the observation windows as I was the only person there at the time, he was more focused on looking the back of him suspiciously. He was able to retain his balance and would use his left fist flat to the ground to hold hit body up when looking over this right shoulder. Suddenly he climbs down from a hill area down towards the glass and I noticed something in his right hand. He was holding a brown baby bunny that seemed to be alive. He observes the mammal in his hand with one hand and looks back again at another primate, which I can only assume was his mother or another older Bonobo in the exhibit. The youngster springs into action using bipedal locomotion and his free left hand to swing from the available branches in the ground to go toward the central part of the exhibit. Following him to the central part the youngster is found at the central cliff looking back as if the other Bonobo followed him. The bunny was out of sight as his hands were free at this point pacing in circles, as zookeepers we’re throwing fruits from a higher…

    One thing that they use the forest for is for shelter. They build their own houses and villages out of the items that they can find in the Rainforest. Another reason is that they use the Rainforest for its resources. They use the land for planting crops such as beans and corns. They use the river for water and they also fish in the river.…

    Deforestation is an issue we need to fix. I would like to spend 100,000 dollars on deforestation because some of the trees that are being cut down are thousands of years old. “Any fool can destroy trees”(John Muir, “The American Forests,” Atlantic Monthly, August, 1897) Above all this, one fact remains the same, we need trees to live. If we destroy all the trees in the world, we are left with harsh living conditions for ourselves. Our forests should be preserved if we want a better nation.…

They exhibit a wide variation in lifestyles and diet. Most species are herbivorous which means they feed on leaves, fruits, nuts, and gums, but also insects. The diet of New World monkeys is varied.…

    Tropical rainforests are getting cut down at a rate of 6000 trees an hour, this extremely rapid deforestation of rainforests has caused rainforests that were once 14% of earth’s surface all the way down to only 6%, at the rate we are chopping rainforests will be gone in approximately 40 years. So some of us might not witness the complete deforestation of rainforests but we must protect future generation from this controversial threat. Rainforests are the means of supplying us with oxygen. And the human body cannot survive longer than 4 minutes without…
