Primate
Primates are a diverse order of mammals. They are divided into the strepsirrhines, which include the lemurs, galagos, and lorisids, and the haplorhines, which include the tarsiers and the simians (monkeys and apes, the latter including humans). Primates arose 85–55 million years ago first from small terrestrial mammals, which adapted to living in the trees of tropical forests: many primate characteristics represent adaptations to life in this challenging environment, including large brains, visual acuity, color vision, a shoulder girdle allowing a large degree of movement in the shoulder joint, and dextrous hands. Primates range in size from Madame Berthe's mouse lemur, which weighs , to the eastern gorilla, weighing over . There are 376–524 species of living primates, depending on which classification is used. New primate species continue to be discovered: over 25 species were described in the 2000s, 36 in the 2010s, and three in the 2020s. Primates have large bra ...

Northern Muriqui
The northern muriqui (''Brachyteles hypoxanthus)'' is one of two species of muriqui. They are also known as woolly spider monkey because they exhibit the woollen pelt of woolly monkeys and the long prehensile tail of spider monkeys. Muriquis are the largest extant New World monkeys. They can reach long and weight up to . The northern muriqui is a critically endangered species that is unusual among primates in that they display egaltarian tendencies in their social relationships. This species is endemic to the Atlantic Forest region of Brazilian states of Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais and Bahia. Their diets, travel patterns and reproductive cycles are seasonally determined. The size of each group can fluctuate as females will move between groups of monkeys. Morphology and identification Northern muriquis exhibit features that allow them to utilize all of their limbs and tail for travel and obtaining food items. As they spend much of their life in the canopy of f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
White-headed Langur
The white-headed langur (''Trachypithecus leucocephalus'') is a critically endangered species of langur endemic to Guangxi, China. Taxonomy It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Cat Ba langur (''T. poliocephalus''), which is now thought to be endemic to Vietnam. Its taxonomy was previously uncertain; it has been considered a partially albinistic population of the François' langur (''T. francoisi''), a subspecies of Francois' langur,Bradon-Jones, D. 1995. A revision of the Asian pied leaf monkeys (Mammalia: Cercopithecidae: Superspecies ''Semnopithecus auratus''), with the description of a new subspecies. ''Raffles Bull. Zool.'' 43: 3-43 a valid species (''T. leucocephalus''), or a subspecies, ''T. poliocephalus leucocephalus''. However, the IUCN Red List and American Society of Mammalogists now recognize it as a distinct species based on a 2007 study which split both species.

Gray Snub-nosed Monkey
The gray snub-nosed monkey (''Rhinopithecus brelichi''), also known as Brelich's snub-nosed monkey, Guizhou snub-nosed monkey, and Guizhou golden monkey, is a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae. It is endemic to China, where it is known as the Guizhou golden hair monkey (黔金丝猴) or gray golden hair monkey (灰金丝猴). It is threatened by habitat loss. Of the three species of snub-nosed monkeys in China, the gray snub-nosed monkey is the most threatened, with a total population thought to number fewer than 400 individuals. Description Adults are covered with long, fine hair, generally grading from brown on its upper body to gray on its lower body, with a white patch between its shoulder blades. Its head, neck, and ends of its limbs are black, except for a golden brow. It has a golden chest, and chestnut fur on its inner knees and inner sides of its upper arms. Its face is bare bluish-white skin, pink around the eyes and mouth, and has a shelf-like brow and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Arunachal Macaque
The Arunachal macaque (''Macaca munzala'') is a macaque native to Eastern Himalayas of Bhutan, China and India. It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. It was scientifically described in 2005. It is a relatively large brown primate with a comparatively short tail. Its species name comes from ''mun zala'', meaning deep forest (''mun'') monkey (''monkey''), as it is called by the Monpa people of West Kameng and Tawang. Discovery It was discovered as a new taxon in 1997 by the Indian primatologist Anwaruddin Choudhury, but he thought it to be a new subspecies of the Tibetan macaque (''M. thibetana''). It was described as a new species in 2005 by a group of scientists from the Nature Conservation Foundation, India. It is the first species of macaque to have been discovered since 1903, when the Indonesian Pagai Island macaque was discovered. This monkey was reported on the basis of a good quality photograph as the holotype. In 2011, some researchers suggested, on the b ...

Coimbra Filho's Titi
Coimbra Filho's titi monkey (''Callicebus coimbrai'') or just Coimbra's titi is a species of titi, a type of New World monkey, endemic to forests in the Brazilian states of Bahia and Sergipe. It was first discovered by Shuji Kobayashi. It is considered one of the most endangered of all Neotropical primates. It is named after Adelmar F. Coimbra-Filho, founder and Former Director of the Rio de Janeiro Primate Centre, in honor of his work in the field of Brazilian primatology and biology. Physical description The most distinct of Coimbra Filho's titi's features, from other members of the ''personatus'' group, include its black forehead, crown, and ear area, as well as a zebra-like pattern on the anterior of its back. Coimbra Filho's titi is also differentiated from other members of the ''personatus'' group by the shape of both its skull and its teeth. Compared to other members of its group, the skull is smaller, and shaped slightly differently. Its teeth are also more U-shaped, a ...

Endangered Species
An endangered species is a species that is very likely to become extinct in the near future, either worldwide or in a particular political jurisdiction. Endangered species may be at risk due to factors such as habitat loss, poaching and invasive species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List lists the global conservation status of many species, and various other agencies assess the status of species within particular areas. Many nations have laws that protect conservation-reliant species which, for example, forbid hunting, restrict land development, or create protected areas. Some endangered species are the target of extensive conservation efforts such as captive breeding and habitat restoration. Human activity is a significant cause in causing some species to become endangered. Conservation status The conservation status of a species indicates the likelihood that it will become extinct. Multiple factors are considered when assessing the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kashmir Gray Langur
The Kashmir gray langur (''Semnopithecus ajax'') is an Old World monkey, one of the langur species. It is a leaf-eating monkey. It has been reported from Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh in northwestern India but evidence indicates it only occurs in the Chamba Valley in Himachal Pradesh. Because of its restricted range, fragmented population and threats from human agriculture and development activities it is listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List. In Pakistan it occurs in Machiara National Park. It was formerly considered a subspecies of '' Semnopithecus entellus'' and is one of several ''Semnopithecus'' species named after characters from ''The Iliad'', along with '' Semnopithecus hector'' and '' Semnopithecus priam''. Ecology and behaviour It is arboreal and diurnal, and lives in temperate and alpine forests at elevations between . The birthing season for the Kashmir gray langur runs from January through June, although almost half of all infants are born in Marc ...

Prolemur Simus Cedric Girard-Buttoz
The greater bamboo lemur (''Hapalemur simus''), also known as the broad-nosed bamboo lemur and the broad-nosed gentle lemur, is a species of lemur endemic to the island of Madagascar. Taxonomy Originally described as ''Hapalemur (Prolemur) simus'' by John Edward Gray in 1870, it was regarded simply as ''Hapalemur simus'' as early as 1880. With the understanding that this species is more closely related to the ring-tailed lemur (''Lemur catta'') than to the other ''Hapalemur'' species, Colin Groves resurrected ''Prolemur'' as a full genus in 2001, with this species as its only member. More recent research by Herrera and Dávalos (2016) indicates that the species is sister to all of ''Hapalemur'', and that ''Lemur'' is sister to ''Hapalemur'' + ''simus'', and that it should remain in ''Hapalemur''. Description The greater bamboo lemur is the largest bamboo lemur, at over . It has greyish brown fur and white ear tufts, and has a head-body length of around . They have relativel ...
