focusing on the Bonobo Monkey and how the destruction of their habit‚ poaching and other issues are affecting their existence. Found mainly near the Congo River in the Dominican Republic their biggest threats are humans. I will examine why these primates are being targeted and what can be done to prevent the extinction of this animal. According to the World Wildlife Fund (2012)‚ there are 5‚689 endangered species and an additional 10‚000 that are on the brink of becoming endangered. These numbers

The primate lineage was thought to start 65 million years ago; this began as the Euarchonta which lead to the primates present today(See Appendix A‚ Fig.2). Primates were divided into two groups called Strepsirrhines‚ which included lemurs and lories‚ and Haplorhines‚ which included

REASONING AND INTERPRETATION – Practice questions 1. Understanding the ecological mechanism that causes extinction is fundamental to conservation as not all organisms are threatened by the same factors. A total of 1012 threatened bird species in 95 families were studied to see how they were threatened by different factors: · habitat loss · persecution by humans and introduced predators · other factors (introduced competitors‚ hybridization and disease) and unknown risk factors. Scientists investigated

Such as in the beginning of the lab we were given three different casts of different primate species that were in a wooden box that contained a cast of the skull and mandible for all three species also specimen’s A & B had a tibia‚ fibula‚ radius‚ and an ulna that went along with their cast of their skulls. While performing the lab‚ the students had to identify the dental formula for each of the three species and determine the primate group the species belong to

back of the tongue in humans. When humans talk‚ most of the air goes out through their mouth when they decide to speak. As for primates‚ their larynx is located further up close to the tongue‚ closer to the back of the nose. The difference in location of the larynx in humans compared to primates can be the reason why humans have the ability to speak. For the primates‚ most of their air is exhaled through their nose‚ which produces sounds through the nose rather than mouth. 2. For humans‚ the

I spent most of the time observing all the animals and learning about them and their native habitats. LA Zoo is laid out by continental area‚ so the primate exhibits are scattered throughout the zoo.
