    Extractions: Dr. Sicotte has worked on Mountain Gorillas at the Karisoke Research Center for nearly 10 years. She conducted work on the effect of male-male competition on male-female relationships and on female mate choice. She was the director of Karisoke in 1993-94, during the civil war in Rwanda. She is now working with her students on the socio-ecology of black and white colobus (Colobus vellerosus) in central Ghana.

    Extractions: By environment correspondent Alex Kirby Despite the trauma and disturbance of a savage war, Africa's mountain gorillas are slowly improving their prospects of survival. Conservationists say one gorilla population, which contains more than half the world total for the species, has increased its numbers in the last decade. Monitoring shows the Virunga gorillas, on the borders of Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, have increased by at least 11% since 1989. There are estimated to be fewer than 650 mountain gorillas left in the wild. The species is highly endangered, not just because of the years of fighting in the area, but also because of heavy pressure on the forests where the gorillas live. But with the Virunga gorillas now numbering 355 animals, up from 320 in 1989, conservation groups are cautiously encouraged. Hope despite conflict And they believe that even that figure is likely to prove an underestimate.

    Extractions: Biology teacher The charity - Cameroon Wildlife Aid Fund - began work at Yaounde Mvogbetsi Zoo four years ago as an initiative to look after primates orphaned as a result of the bushmeat trade. Thousands of children have benefited so far amid signs that the programme is becoming a huge success. I followed a group of 20 students from the Promethe Evening School on a typical trip to the zoo. "We make them understand that these primates are friends and eating them is like eating a friend," says biology teacher Banseka Eriw, who organised the visit. Before setting off students are questioned about their views on the bushmeat trade.

The mountain gorilla occurs in separate populations in Rwanda, Uganda and former Zaire (Oates, 1996).The distribution range, shown in Fig. 2.4.1.a, has been obtained from Oates (1996). Categorical-discrete (CD) distribution model Based on these environmental preferences, the following scores were assigned (Fig. 2.4.1.b) (Tab. 2.4.1.a):

    gorillas are primates, advanced mammals from Africa which are in dangerof going extinct. Please help keep Enchanted Learning online.

    Extractions: Gorillas have a very large head with a bulging forehead, a crest on top (which is larger on male gorillas), tiny ears, and small, dark-brown eyes. Gorillas have no tail. Adult gorillas have 32 teeth, with large molars (flat teeth used for chewing food) and large canines (pointy teeth used for biting), which are especially large in the male gorillas. Gorillas each have a unique nose print (like we have unique fingerprints). Senses

    Extractions: Orangutans’ feet have long curved toes for holding branches and moving from tree to tree. When they are on the ground, they walk on the edges of their feet and not flat on the ground, which makes walking clumsy. They also don’t have thick skin on the backs of their hands like gorillas and chimps to help them walk on their knuckles.

    Extractions: Primate Facts There are more than 180 species of primates, from the 140g pygmy marmoset, to the 200kg gorilla. There are four great apes: the orangutan, the gorilla, the chimpanzee and the bonobo or pigmy chimpanzee. Apes are bigger than monkeys, but do not have tails. Phylum: Sub-phylum: Class: Order: Family: Species: Chordates Vertebrates Mammals Primates Hominidae Pan troglodytes Eastern gorilla Distribution Chimpanzee Gorilla Chimpanzees are found in 21 countries of central and western Africa, while the five sub-species of gorilla are found in only nine countries of eastern and central Africa. Distributions have reduced and populations declined as apes and their habitats have been over exploited and destroyed. Habitat Chimpanzees live in forests and savannah grasslands, gorillas generally in tropical forests. The main priority for location is a good food supply. Gorilla habitat includes sea level forests in central Africa and up to 4,000m mountains in the east. Diet Gorillas are entirely vegetarian, eating plants and fruits. Chimps eat mainly vegetarian food... plants, seeds, fruits, young leaves, buds, nuts, shoots and bark, but also termites, ants, insect larva, honey and even fish. Chimps forage in groups and hunt co-operatively for monkeys and young antelope.

The penultimate picture is of bonobos crossing a road while schoolchildren stand watching, a short distance away. If, as the truism goes, all books about animal behavior are ultimately about us, this exploration of the bonobo may be a step in the right direction." or purchase this item from amazon.co.uk By Jeanne Ann Vanderhoef.

It's quite another to bring them up from babies, have them rule your home, possess your heart and bring more laughter and chaos into your life than you can imagine! Animal lovers will understand a family who complicated their lives and their travels with Great Danes, extra special mutts, cats and, above all, children." or purchase this item from amazon.co.uk

    Extractions: THE ORIGIN OF CHIMPANZEES, GORILLAS AND ORANGUTANS ;The Origin of the Primates Y-Chromosomes Date of publication on Internet : July 26 , 2000 www.mamomumy.com Dated by BELGIAN Authorities 30 th of June, 2000 Studying the varieties between elephants or rhinos is easy. Of each genera we find one or two species in Africa and one or two in Asia. But monkeys, what a confusing situation .All kind of colours, sizes, shapes, weights and intelligences; not to mention their looks. Nowadays they are mainly spread over the worlds tropical regions, for the time being. In this article a new ANALYTICAL METHOD is proposed to classify apes and monkeys according their genetic distances from humans; most particularly the distances in MITOCHONDRIAL DNA (mtDNA) . The highly diversified monkey Y-chromosomes play a dominant role in this new method. Mitochondrial DNA is uniparentally inherited as we all know and is passed on from mother to son and daughter. As we shall see,also the MITOCHONDRIAL PATERNAL INHERITANCE plays a surprising role with monkeys and is passed on to every NEW GENE- RATION by means of the MALE SPERM CELL.
