what factors affect it. Humans find it easier than animals to detect a difference in large numbers‚ which is known as the numeric size effect. Animals often use number to remember things‚ which is known as non-human logarithmic representation. Orangutans for example‚ use the skill of logarithmic representation to remember beneficial outcomes when in testing‚ in order to achieve praise. Another habit often carried out by animals is the idea of a linear model. If an animal benefits from a certain

There should be a program that helps people that can’t afford healthcare on their own to get it. Global Warming is an important issue for us to address because it’s hurting our environment. Deforestation leads to the extinction of animals like Orangutans. Pollution leads to a whole in the o-zone layer which then leads to more sun rays coming into earth and warming up the planet.

If scientists in the Smithsonian can teach orangutans simple language using computers they can also find out if other animals think like humans. The knowledge they gain will help save wildlife and prevent endangered species from disappearing. So let’s hear it for the creepies and crawlies‚ the slimies

Congratulations: You are an ape. A "great ape‚" technically. Alongside us in this brainy family of animals are four other living species: chimpanzees‚ gorillas‚ orangutans‚ and bonobos (formerly called "pygmy chimpanzees"). The biological gap between us and our great ape cousins is small. At last count‚ only 1.23 percent of our genes differ from those of chimpanzees. But mentally‚ the gap between us and them is a Grand Canyon. On an average day in the life of the human species‚ we file thousands

Chimpanzee feet are better suited for walking than are those of the orangutan because the chimp’s soles are broader and the toes shorter. Both the common chimpanzee and bonobo can walk upright on two legs when carrying objects with their hands and arms. The Bonobo has proportionately longer upper limbs and tends to walk upright

story with the people would be right‚ because the chance of the story with the animals happening is hard to believe. Both stories have the same circumstances and follow the same events. The zebra represents the sailor‚ the hyena is the cook‚ the orangutan is the mother and Richard Parker is Pi‚ but I believe the story with the humans is the true story. I think that the story with the animals was Pi’s way of coping with the reality that his mother was murdered and that he murdered someone as well.
