            Lemurs, located, mainly and most formerly on the island of Madagascar, are located in a radically different level of weather in comparison to the other primates. Because of over population and agriculture in which occurs in agricultural society’s, we see a lot of man land being taken over in the lemur society. Because they are forced to be grounded animals, they additionally because of their ability to spread based on environment; causing large diversity in the Eco system.

            Sifakas; who live in exceedingly large primate groups, live in families, in which their offspring is produced within the woman’s five or four month gestation period; thus producing ones offspring. In the mother’s belly holds the fetus, but then is carried structurally different. Unlike humans, the offspring is weaned off at approximately six months.
             What occupies these dynamic structures of socialization, is that many of these primates often utilize their time feeding, partaking in grooming children and migration, as well as multifarious social behaviors; Lemurs in general value and rely on scent for communicative purposes.
            Members of this family have a tendency to care for others, though they may not breed apart of the family they have a need to provide for others, specifically of their own kind. These types are food forgers, they live off the land, mostly led by the women in the family.
            Loco-motor behaviors, in which are frequent and most identifiable, as those in which are jumpers, similarly to be leaper as the lemurs. What makes them such similar animals is due to their ability to excel in their certain biological abilities to jump very high, especially in terms of being non retractable animals. These animals are very good at jumping and concealing themselves in their natural habitat.
            These animals can jump typically very high, nearly 40 feet. However, when a specific height cannot be accomplished, they are able to balance themselves accordingly. The monkey, specifically spider moneys, and also in relation to the slow Loris, are very similar in terms of jumping and independent animals. Originally they were first seen in Mexico. The genre of living animals accompanied by relatives consist of a family of 35-40 living individuals. The difference, in which lies between the spider monkey and others of the same type, specifically is between the differences in gender in between the two; defection, sleep, and procreation. These food foragers spend a vast amount of their day in exceedingly high branches and levels, in which food, is readily available.

            The responsibility of the females are the births of up to five years. Monkeys are in act the most dependent species in regards to their mothers; Relying on food in which is given by the mother, in which their children relate to who is in fact the mother/ Caretaker. Often times the monkeys, in regards to daily tasks, break up in a sense that can compartmentalized. This compartmentalization has all to do wi5rth the demographics and the level of competition amongst this family of primates. An example would be how females and their children share a bond while the men share a protective bond of their own.
             The ability of these monkey is to climb athletically as well as gymnastically, in order to successful survive in habitat. The different locomotion’s in which occur in spider monkeys are those in which are bipedalism, quadrupedal, as well as brachiating. What makes these animals so successful because they do not rely on all libels for balance.

            What’s so fascinating about these creatures is they are not just regular but as we have perhaps seen the slow Loris we see how they have hands, nearly almost thumbs just as us humans! And they are in fact in the monkey family. The hands of the monkey and slow Loris are especially handy in regards to balance, especially when it comes to environmental selection; however these handed creatures do not have thumbs.
            Baboons, stemming from most of the Middle East. Baboons unlike the spider monkey, typically live within a level area opposed to trees. They typically live in a genre ranging from 10-200. The leaders of these groups are typically males.
            The difference between the different baboons, are their living situations. The men of the groups are very possessive and protective.
            The man baboon is large much larger, nearly 3 to four times the size of the average woman baboon. Baboons and all apes utilize four limbs unlike humans making them much different behaviorally and physically operationally.
            The forelimbs and hind limbs are long in relation to the trunk and almost equal in length to each other. They are generally kept straight during quadruples tic. Hamadryads Baboons have a body weight of 26-46 lbs. which might be why they don’t move about in trees all day and only utilize trees for sleeping and protection from predators. They travel for longer distances and usually forage. They have an ability of swiftness which allows them to move safely and avoid predators such as Leopards, lions, and hyenas. These enemies and others live on the ground, since they hunt at night, baboons sleep in trees for safety. They have short tails and rough spots on their protruding buttocks which are nerveless, hairless pads of skin that provide for the sitting comfortably.
            On the contrary, gibbons which are subtropical creatures who originated in areas most closely to South Asia. These animals in which reside in this specific geographical area are able to grow to nearly 30 to ninety pounds! These animals are highly protective of their territories.
            How these cute creatures raise young and live is through protective circumstances. They curdle and tuck their heads as much as possible, in order to feel, sleep and stay safe. The place for these animals is clearly where they are best adapted to, the tree in which they seek and less the floor, a place in which is safe and natural.
            Chimps live in tropical weather similar to places like Hawaii or Africa! Although we imagine these primates as those who are tree dwellers they are quite the opposite and reside in more land and grass covered territories’ then not. Chimps travel compartmentalized as mentioned before. The way in which they segregate to travel is mother with child, men, and man apes in which travel lone, in which he, of course, is still in charge! Though this is the case Chimps spend a vast amount of time in trees opposed to the ground; recreating sleeping areas for comfort and solitary by-nightly.
            The mother Chimps have, unlike us humans, an extensive period of labor, in which they endure a large 230 day labor experience, giving birth singly every 3-4 years, raising their children, again singularly! Like humans we all endure a rank of class amongst society, apes, themselves are more aggressive about so, and tend to battle over status.
            The purpose behind the locomotive behavior in chimps, I see way their knuckles drag along the floor. These animals have evolved via their thumbs fingers and thinking patterns; making them the ideal comparison of how we use our bodies, in comparisons to other primates!
