1) These are found in heavily forested areas of Borneo and Sumatra, males are 200lbs and females are 100lbs which is pronounced sexual dimorphism. They lead solitary lives, are almost completely arboreal and lead solitary lives. Their subsistence consists is primarily frugivorous.

2) This is the only living species in the hominin. They have adopted bipedalism and have cognitive abilities that are the result of dramatic increases in brain size. They have flexible limbs and grasping hands. Their diet is omnivorous and they have a high dependence on vision for orientation to the world. Long gestation period followed by long period of adolescents.

3) This species is nocturnal and has leapers and climbers. They eat insects, have large eyes, and the ability to rotate their head 180 degrees. They are highly specialized, closely related to monkeys and apes

4) This species has a 2.1.2.3 dentition, downward facing nostrils, narrow nasal spectrum and found in Africa and Asia.

5) This is the largest of the living primates. Groups consist of one large silverback male, a few adult females and their adolescent offspring. The males can weigh up to 400 pounds and the females can weigh 200 pounds. They are primarily terrestrial, using knuckle walking and living in forested regions of central Africa.

6) These have larger brain and body size, with a reduced reliance on the sense of smell. There is a bony plate at the back of the eye socket and an increase reliance on vision. There is generalized dentition, a fused mandible. They have mutual grooming, increased parental care and longer gestation and maturation periods.

7) These are found only on the island of Madagascar, they are nocturnal or diurnal, they are quadrupeds, leapers and climbers and their size is between 5” and 2-3’.

8) Found in the tropical areas of southeast Asia. Their diet is largely fruit with leaves, flowers and insects. Males and females delineate their territories with whoops and “songs.”

9) These are large communities of as many as fifty individuals. They are found in Africa and are anatomically similar to gorillas. They eat a variety of plant and animal foods. Their locomotion includes knuckle walking on the ground and brachiation in the trees. They have a 2% difference in D.N.A. to humans.

10) This species has downward facing nostrils, they are more omnivores with cheek pouches, they are arboreal and quadrupeds and they have sexual dimorphism.
