Eulemur Rufifrons
The red-fronted lemur (''Eulemur rufifrons''), also known as the red-fronted brown lemur or southern red-fronted brown lemur, is a species of lemur from Madagascar. Until 2001, it was considered a subspecies of the common brown lemur, ''E. fulvus''. In 2001, ''E. fulvus'' was split into several separate species, including ''Eulemur rufus'', in which this species was included. In 2008, ''E. rufus'' was split into two species, the red lemur (''E. rufus'') and the red-fronted lemur (''E. rufifrons''). ''E. rufus'' covers the population on the west coast north of the Tsiribihina River and ''E. rufifrons'' covers the population on the west coast south of the Tsiribihina River and the population in eastern Madagascar. The species split was based on genetic and morphological evidence. Mitochondrial DNA analysis indicates that ''E. rufifrons'' may be more closely related to the common brown lemur (''E. fulvus''), white-headed lemur (''E. albifrons'') and Sanford's brown lemur (''E. s ...

Sapajus Nigritus
The black capuchin (''Sapajus nigritus''), also known as the black-horned capuchin, is a capuchin monkey from the Atlantic Forest in south-eastern Brazil and far north-eastern Argentina. Historically, it was included as a subspecies of the tufted capuchin. Taxonomy The black capuchin was originally named ''Cebus nigritus'' or ''Cebus apella nigritus'', and while this has been changed, a lot of sources still name the black capuchin as part of the genus ''Cebus''. Social Behaviour Group Size The black capuchin is a social animal. It likes to live in groups, usually consisting of 6 to 20 members, and is hierarchal. Despite the fact that these groups tend to be made up of more females than males, the alpha female of the group is submissive to the alpha male. The size of the group operates as a function of food availability; size and cohesiveness are highest when food is readily available. When food is scarce, black capuchins split up into smaller groups to cover more ground o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Saguinus Tripartitus
The golden-mantled tamarin (''Leontocebus tripartitus'') is a tamarin species from South America. It is found in Ecuador and Peru, specifically in the upper Amazon (lowland), east of the Andes in Ecuador, and Northeast Peru; between the Rio Curaray and Rio Napo in Peru. Taxonomic classification There has been some debate over the placing of ''L. tripartitus.'' In field observations in South America, scientists compared feeding habits and heights between golden-mantled tamarins (''L. tripartitus'') and brown-mantled tamarins ('' Leontocebus fuscicollis'') and they concluded that patterns of height were very similar to those observed in ''L. fuscicollis''. The similarity and the lack of evidence for sympatry with either ''L. fuscicollis'' or the black-mantled tamarin ('' Leontocebus nigricollis'') led to the suggestion that ''L. tripartitus'' should be reconsidered as a subspecies of ''L. fuscicollis'' rather than a species on its own; alternatively, other subspecies of ''L. fusci ...

Procolobus Verus
The olive colobus monkey (''Procolobus verus''), also known as the green colobus or Van Beneden's colobus, is a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae. Its English name refers to its dull olive upperparts. It is the smallest example of all colobine monkeys and is rarely observed in its natural habitat because of its cryptic coloration and secretive nature. It is found in the rain forests of West Africa, ranging from southern Sierra Leone to Nigeria. The IUCN Red List classifies the olive colobus as vulnerable (previously near threatened), with the cause of its decline attributed to habitat loss and hunting. Though much of the land within the range of the olive colobus has been affected by human activities, it retains its ability to thrive in small degraded forest fragments. Description ''Procolobus verus'' is a small-bodied mammal with an average body weight of 4.6 kilograms for males and 4.1 kilograms for females. The olive colobus are greenish-brown in color with th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Presbytis Siamensis
The white-thighed surili (''Presbytis siamensis'') is a species of primate from the family of old world monkeys (Cercopithecidae). This species lives arboreal amongst the sub-montane forests. It is endemic to the Thai-Malay Peninsula, the Riau Archipelago and Sumatra. In addition, the white-thighed surili contain four subspecies: ''siamensis'' (nominate), ''cana'', ''paenulata'' and ''rhionis'', are recognized here. Furthermore, they are characterized by the white patches located on the outside of their legs, which is what gives them their name. Additionally, they can be referred to as pale-thighed langur/surili. These primates are an important species for the diversity of forest environments in the Malaysian area. Description Physical The white-thighed surili are made up of a common surili build, ranging from around 41–69 cm tall and weighing 5–6.7 kg. Their slender build is covered with a brown-grey fur coat on their backs, with white fur covering their belli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Presbytis Femoralis
The Raffles' banded langur (''Presbytis femoralis''), also known as the banded leaf monkey or banded surili, is a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae. It is endemic to Singapore and southern Peninsular Malaysia. The species underwent taxonomic revisions in 2019 and 2020, in which two former subspecies were elevated to separate species. As a result, the Raffles' banded langur meets the criteria for being listed as critically endangered by the IUCN. It is mainly threatened by habitat loss. Taxonomy The taxonomy of ''Presbytis femoralis'' underwent several changes. Up until 2019, three subspecies of ''P. femoralis'' were recognized: ''P. f. femoralis'' (nominate), ''P. f. percura'' (the East Sumatran banded langur), and ''P. f. robinsoni'' (Robinson's banded langur). ''Presbytis f. femoralis'' lives in Singapore, and in the states of Johor and Pahang of southern Peninsular Malaysia, ''P. f. robinsoni'' lives in the northern Malay Peninsula, including southern Myanmar a ...

Piliocolobus Tholloni
Thollon's red colobus (''Piliocolobus tholloni''), also known as the Tshuapa red colobus, is a species of red colobus monkey from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and lower Republic of the Congo. It is found south of Congo River and west of Lomami River. It had once been considered a subspecies of the '' P. badius''. It was recognised as a distinct species by Dandelot in 1974, and this was followed by Groves in 2001, while others have suggested it should be considered a subspecies of '' P. rufomitratus''.

Papio Papio
The Guinea baboon (''Papio papio'') is a baboon from the Old World monkey family. Some (older) classifications list only two species in the genus ''Papio'', this one and the hamadryas baboon. In those classifications, all other ''Papio'' species are considered subspecies of ''P. papio'' and the species is called the savanna baboon. The Guinea baboon inhabits a small area in western Africa. Its range includes Guinea, Senegal, Gambia, southern Mauritania and western Mali. Its habitat includes dry forests, gallery forests, and adjoining bush savannas or steppes. It has reddish-brown hair, a hairless, dark-violet or black face with the typical dog-like muzzle, which is surrounded by a small mane, and a tail carried in a round arc. It also has limb modifications that allow it to walk long distances on the ground. The Guinea baboon is one of the smallest baboon species, weighing between 13 and 26 kg (28.6–57 lbs). Their life spans are generally between 20 to 50 years. It i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
