Comparitive Primate's!

Lemurs: Lemurs are a clad of strepsirrhine primates endemic to the island of Madagascar. Lemurs like to live in the treetops of rain forest. Lemurs communities, diversity and complexity are becoming bigger precipitation and are highest in the rainforests then that of the east coast of Africa which are similar to the island of Madagascar, where rainfall and floral diversity are normally at their highest. Lemurs do not live on the ground they like to live in the trees. Some lemurs live alone while some others live in groups.

Spider Monkeys: Spider Monkeys lives in tropical forests in central and South America, from southern Mexico to Brazil. They are an important food source due to their large size and are widely hunted by local human population. They are also threatened by habitat destruction due to logging and land cleaning. Spider monkeys like to live in the high canopies of the tresses in the rain forest.

Baboon: Baboons are African and Asian old world monkeys belonging to the genus Papio. There are five different types of baboons. Baboons are found in surprisingly varied habitats and are extremely adaptable. The requirements for living are water and safe sleeping places in either trees or on cliff faces.

Gibbons: Gibbons are small, arboreal apes distributed in the wild in the tropical and subtropical rainforests of Southeast, South, and East Asia. They are currently found in small populations in China, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Bangladesh, NE India, Myanmar, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Gibbons are known for the world’s great acrobats. The swing from tree to tree at 35mph.

Chimpanzee: Chimpanzee’s can be found in 21 African countries. The live in humid closed-canopy forest, Montana forest, seasonally dry forest and savanna woodlands. Common chimpanzees are very social animals and have a male- bonded society. Males are dominant over all females.

Diet 

Lemurs: Like to eat plants, bugs and sometimes-small mammals.

Spider monkeys: Like to eat ripe fruit, leaves, seeds, flowers, nectar, insects, and small bird eggs.

Baboons: Like to eat grass, leaves, blossoms, seeds, gum, tree sap, roots, flowers, fruit, mushrooms, shots, herbs, tubers, small animals such as fish, birds and small antelopes.

Gibbons: Like to mainly only eat fruit.

Chimpanzee: Like to eat Plants, fruit, and meat.

Answer C

For the baboons and the spider monkeys I would have to say these three primates would be able to live if they could swing from the trees because if they had to walk along the forest ground they would probably be eating by other primates on the forest grounds.

Chimpanzee I would say they are amnivores they only eat plants fruit and meat. They eat mostly fruit. In the long dry seasons when fruit is scarce, tree seeds, flowers, and bark become an important part of their diet. Chimps eat big fruit with their hand. There are 80 different plants chimps eat.

Behavioral, physical and adaptation traits are making a huge impact on these species. Primates have to adapt what whatever enviorment they have to live in. A lot of primates get kicked out of the area they are living in and they have to adapt to new living situations just as we would have to.
