Comparative Primates

LEMURS:

Lemurs are animals that are native to the African Island of Madagascar and other islands. Most lemurs live in the rain forest and some in very hot areas. Lemurs can be found over ground forest.
Lemurs eat both in the wild and in captivity eat fruits and vegetables some of their favorite fruit is apples,bananas and cantaloupe stay relatively small they stay between the size of a small mouse and large house cat. Lemurs typically roam in small groups with females carrying the dominant lead. Both genders have the same physical. Lemurs trait is not based upon adaption.Lemurs get adapted very quickly on the tree tops while climbing up in the trees.

SPIDER MONKEY:

Spider monkeys live in tropical climates and are mostly found in Southern Mexico and Brazil spider monkeys eat nuts,fruit,insects,eggs and leaves spider monkeys don't have thumbs however they can still grip powerfully to tree branches without a problem. Spider monkeys fly,climb and leap on trees most of the spider monkeys are known as quadrupedal due to the fact that spider monkeys use four of their limbs for movement for an example walking and running.Spider monkeys can be very large about 5 feet tall. The difference between male and female is minuscule. Spider monkeys use all four limbs for movement.

BABOONS:

Baboons are located in Africa and Arabia and some live in tropical forest and other baboons live on Mountainous areas and grasslands. They eat fruit,grass,seeds,bark and roots and they also have taste for meat. most baboons like to eat birds. The primates of this group are very large the male baboons tower over the females in height and weight. the male baboons act more aggressive most baboons like to sleep and eat and look out for trouble.

GIBBONS:

Gibbons reside in the Northern India and south Asia and china.Also gibbons are adapted in the forest trees They eat fruit, leaves,insects and nuts. These primates are very small apes,maxing out the average of 3 feet the difference between male and female is that females gibbons are smaller in size and weight. not all gibbons are the same color they range from colors black gray to brown. Gibbons are arboreal animals which means that they spend the majority of their time in trees. Living in trees give gibbons a safe distance from above the ground from predators.

CHIMPANZEE:

Chimpanzee adjust themselves in Africa rain forest woodlands and grasslands they can also be found in in the rain forest. Chimpanzees eat variety of plants,insects and even small animals. Chimpanzees are very familiar to us humans when chimpanzee are born they look very pale and white tail tuft that will darken with time.the chimpanzee are well adapted, some chimpanzee are quadrupedal where they are able to move using all four using hands and frets on the ground while walking they use their knuckles for support.most of the chimpanzee sleep and eat on trees. differences between male and female are the female chimps are quite smaller in size and weight.






As discussed these primates living is highly effected by the environment in which and how these primates are living. Primates don't really have allot of differences the only differences are size,weight and color as well for how some primates are quadruped and are able to walk in all fours, which it makes it allot easier for them to walk and do activities. these primates living play a huge role in their environment.
