   Extractions: Baboons The Baboon, Papio cyanocephalus , is a large terrestrial monkey with a somewhat dog-like head. There are 2 subspecies found in Kenya; the Yellow Baboon found in Eastern Kenya and the Olive Baboon found throughout the rest of the country. The 2 species can be told apart by build, the Yellow Baboon is slimmer and longer limbed, and by the presence of a mane (present in the Olive Baboon but absent in the Yellow). For more on Kenya's Baboons see Moving the Pumphouse Gang Black and White Colobus The Black and White Colobus Colobus guereza also known as the Guereza is a very distinctive and beautiful monkey with its jet black coat and flowing white mantle. They live mostly high in the forest canopy and are difficult to get a close look at. We have mostly seen them only in fleeting glimpses as they moved through the tops of trees. However Mountain Lodge on Mount Kenya can be a good spot to get a closer look as the local troop occasionally comes through the lodge grounds at sunset, on route to their sleeping areas. The roof top look out area is excellent for a tree-top view of the troop. They are, however, shy and wary of humans. Vervet The Vervet

Most dwell in tropical forests. The smallest living primate is the pygmy marmoset, which weighs around 70 g; the largest is the gorilla, weighing up to around 175 kg. Primates radiated in arboreal habitats, and many of the characteristics by which we recognize them today (shortened rostrum and forwardly directed orbits, associated with stereoscopic vision; opposable hallux and pollex ; unfused and highly mobile radius and ulna in the forelimb and tibia and fibula in the hind) probably arose as adaptations for life in the trees or are primitive traits that were retained for the same reason. Several species, including our own, have left the trees for life on the ground; nevertheless, we retain many of these features. Primates are usually recognized based on a suite of primitive characteristics of the skull, teeth, and limbs. Some of these are listed above, including the separate and well-developed radius and ulna in the forearm and tibia and fibula in the hindleg. Others include pentadactyl feet and presence of a clavicle. Additional characteristics (not necessarily unique to primates) include first toe with a

    Extractions: var base_url = "http://www.lotsofessays.com/"; Primates have evolved over a period of millions of years, and the ultimate in evolution is the human. Over the course of time, different primates evolved different body structures which suited their time and their lifestyle, and the ecosystem into which they fit. The prosimians and the early primates were arboreal, and over time, they gradually descended from the trees, and developed an upright stance. This was accompanied by skeletal changes to accommodate the postural changes. Primates are distinguished from other mammals by nine general features: 1. A generalized limb structure, including basic pentadactyly and retention of bones often lost in other mammals (e.g. clavicle). 2. Mobile digits, especially the thumb and large toe. 3. Flattened nails and tactile pads occurring at the end of digits. 6. Less emphasis on the sense of smell. 7. Simple cusp pattern of molars and a general reduction in number of teeth. 8. Expanded and elaborated brain, especially the cerebral cortex.
