Humans have been able to say goodbye to their fur and walk upright to help them venture into deeper water while also being able to grab high fruit on trees on the land. The changing environment for humans and the evolution of them shows that only the best traits will be passed on, such as being able to stand on two feet and having downward-facing nostrils. Monkeys have not evolved, while humans have because the environment of monkeys made it unnecessary to add any extra features that were not already present. They are able to gloriously swing from branch to branch and get any type of fruit that their heart desires. These two populations started off identical a long time ago, but have since separated into two extremely different species.…

The Arctic Pochee is a close relative of a cheetah and a polar bear. The Arctic Pochee has many of the cheetahs traits and many of the polar bears traits. The Arctic Pochee lives in a rocky environment with harsh cold weather, lots of precipitation, wind, and small mountains. There is very little vegetation there but there some grasses, trees, and shrubs. The Arctic Pochee eats water animals like fish and sea urchins.…
They use tools to eat food, or break open hard-shelled nuts. Chimpanzees can learn, and teach each other how to do techniques. Monkeys and apes both can use their fingers and hands very well. There have been chimpanzees who have learned to paint, like humans but of course it’s not perfect, but it’s still art. In the movie Monkey in The Mirror there was an orangutan in the community who wasn’t ever taught anything, but he learned by watching.…
The Alaskan Malamute is a dog fur factory. He's a world-class leash-puller, and he'll eat his weight in food every four hours if you let him. The world is his backyard; that’s because few fences can contain him. But there may be no more joyful, exuberant, friendly dog in the animal kingdom, and none more likely to remind you just why you love dogs in the first place. The Alaskan Malamute is a big, powerful dog who was bred to pull sleds in harsh terrain and brutal climates.…
Around the world, every living animal has its own life history and own ecology. Barking Treefrogs are unique and friendly amphibians usually found in Florida and surrounding states. Although they are one of the largest frogs found in the United States, the number of Barking Treefrogs in the United States are starting to reduce due to habitat loss. All amphibians have distinct traits that assemble each one of them as an individual; Barking Treefrogs are exclusive in every trait they own by having an individual mating, eating, and living style. All different species of animals either decreases or increases in population over time.…
The earliest remains of a Lynx skeleton was dated to be 1.6 to 1.7 million years old Lynx are found most commonly in dense forest areas that are extremely cold where they can hunt small animals The lynx has thick fur that protects them from the harsh weather. Their fired feet make great "snowshoes" The lynx hunts at night. its ears and whiskers help them do so.…
Characteristics shared with all other primates: Anatomical traits that chimpanzees share with all other primates include grasping hands with opposable thumbs, forward-facing eyes, and a generalized body plan. Characteristics unique to this…
Some known charactertics that some primates share with us would be how some of them have the same or similar digits on their hands like us. The same way that were…
Diet: The back bears most eat plants and they do not like to eating meat. If the bear is out of the plants to eat it eat meat but that it is mostly the last salutation for their survival. During the winter bears tend to leave their dens from time to time.…
Having dermal ridges on the hands and feet is another trait, allowing primates to have better gripping abilities when climbing. Primates have dietary plasticity and can be seen through their teeth. Another trait is the forward-facing eyes with gives primates’ better vision, including depth perception…
Jacobs runs with two themes: be careful what you wish for and you can't get something for nothing. Jacobs illustrates both themes when Herbert urges his father to wish for two hundred pounds. Everything seems to be going fine the next day until Herbert leaves for work. Not long after he is gone, a strange man comes to their house and informs Mr. and Mrs. White their son has been in an accident involving the machinery he was working with and he was instantly killed. The company Herbert was working for offers to help pay for his funeral expenses by providing Mr. and Mrs. White a sum of two hundred pounds.…
Primates and domestic animals can communicate with humans. It sounds unreal, right? Well, think again… Domestic animals and primates communicate just like humans! Studies have shown and proven that both, primates and canines are able to communicate with humans and other animals.…
The two primates I chose to observe were chimpanzees and orangutans. I had no particular reason for choosing these particular primates except for the fact that they were easier for me to access. I first observed the chimpanzees on April 23rd. I was able to do both a group and focus observation on the chimpanzees. I chose to fill out the quantitative observation form on a focused observation because I wanted to focus on a single chimpanzee performing certain behaviors over a group.…
The there tail is most likely covered in volunteer muscle tissue, which allows them to control them to utilize them to their maximum extent. New world monkeys also have more slender noses and their nasal cavities are slanted to a more mid-sagittal section of the face, possibly even lateral to the structure that creates the nose. Most New world monkeys have little to no thumbs. Some, although considered to be stubs don’t need thumbs because the tail is more mobile and are able to grasp with that. The stubs on some provide more stability while swinging, however, they are not able to move this their thumbs which can also prove to give some problems at times while trying to grasp objects with their…
