Animal Behavior Observations Lab I. Introduction: The Allen’s Swamp Monkey is a “strong‚ stocky primate” covered in a gray and greenish fur. The toes and fingers of the monkey are webbed which allows them to swim well. The males are usually larger than the females and they are really active primates. Their origins can be traced from the Congo Basin to western Zaire. The habitat of the monkeys is limited to swamp forests. In behavior they are mostly active during the day and are tree-dwellers. Their

If the author had instead illustrated the humans as primates‚ it would have been a plausible and expected image. It would not be unexpected or surprising to see humans behaving the same as the primates in this illustration. This is a quintessential example of juxtaposition; when humans share an environment with their primitive relatives‚ it is similar to Lord of the Flies when

amphibians‚ salamanders and newts‚ snakes‚ turtles‚ hermit crabs‚ insects and millipedes‚ scorpions‚ and tarantulas are just a few examples of exotic pets. Some other various types of exotic pets are animals such as big cats (non-domestic)‚ monkeys‚ pigs‚ primates‚ raccoons and wolf dogs (McLeod‚ par. 2). Exotic animals are usually animals that are not native to our land. Because of this‚ they can present a biological threat to the public. Although all animals harbor and can transmit bacteria‚ pathogens

Endangered species An endangered species is a species of organisms facing a very high risk of extinction. The phrase is used vaguely in common parlance for any species fitting this description‚ but its use by conservation biologists typically refers to those designated Endangered in the IUCN Red List‚ where it is the second most severe conservation status for wild populations‚ following Critically Endangered. There are currently 3079 animals and 2655 plants classified as Endangered worldwide‚ compared

or even hundreds of small autonomous robots which could‚ through coordination‚ achieve a global effect not possible by any single unit. In general the goal of these projects was to adapt to the environment to facilitate‚ for example‚ improved locomotion. Our work on claytronics departs from previous work in several important ways. One of the primary goals of claytronics is to form the basis for a new media type‚ pario. Pario‚ a logical extension of audio and video‚ is a media type used to reproduce

to which they have adapted. In those species‚ the virus often does little or no damage. That is why exotic pets other than monkeys are much less likely to make their owners ill. But humans are primates of a sort - similar to monkeys - and many of the disease-causing organisms that belong in sub-human primates‚ can live in humans and go out of control. When they do‚ they can cause a much more severe disease than in the monkeys in which they belong" (2) . Pigs are also closely related to humans but

Nostoc‚ Anabaena‚ etc. Photosynthetic bacteria contain chlorophyll a. Chemosynthetic bacteria oxidise various inorganic compounds and use the released energy for their ATP production. They have rigid cell wall and flagellum (if motile) for locomotion. They have specialised cells known as heterocysts that are involved in nitrogen fixation. Bacteria reproduce mainly by binary fission. Spore formation and primitive type of DNA transfer techniques from one bacterium to another are also seen

Sapajus apella is a scientific name of tufted capuchin and is characterized by its distinct head coloration. Capuchins are New World monkeys that have “long legs and a prehensile tail which helps them to climb and swing through trees” (Richman). Capuchin became known to the public after Dexter‚ a small capuchin monkey‚ appeared in the movie Night at the Museum. People merely refer to this animal as capuchin or monkey‚ but capuchin has a very complex taxonomy and still undergoes constant changes.
