Chimpanzee vs. Baboons

Have you ever wondered which primates roam around in the wilderness? Well two of the most common animals are chimpanzees and baboons. These animals are very alike but they are also very different. Chimpanzees and baboons look nothing alike, so they don 't have any common traits. The chimps(chimpanzee)have a thick set body while the baboons have a strong torso. Different baboons have different colored fur, but all chimps have lots of black fur. All baboons have coarse body hair, but all chimps hair is just long. Baboons have long bushy tails and a bare rump. Also, the chimps have no tail and have hair on their rump. As you can see chimps and baboons look nothing alike and don’t really have anything in common

    Both species are vocal, form social bonds, and live together as groups. In regards to particulars, however, they differ. The bonobos are more vocal than chimps and use a different series of sounds. The bonds they form amongst themselves occur most strongly between male chimpanzees whilst the females share the tightest bonds among the bonobo. These types of bonds affect the social groupings they live in with chimp society dominated by a prominent alpha whereas bonobo females dominate their societies, passing their status on to their offspring (Hanratty, personal communication).

    As was discussed in the previous paragraph, this bipedal aspect is what differentiates us, hominids, from modern apes. However, under the context of hominids in general and modern humans, it is this very trait that allows for us all to be categorized under the same label—hominids. Along the same lines as bipedal, another similarity between the two would be our arched feet—a characteristic that is unique to hominids, as it allows for standing and walking upright to take place. Both of these similarities—bipedal and arched feet—can be evidenced in the “Turkana boy” photo as well as the photo labeled “hominid/ape footprints.” As for differences, however, despite being quite similar in many ways, there are still a number of differences between hominids and modern humans, one of them being the size of our brains.

    The golden snub-nosed monkey will vary in appearance depending on the sex of the monkey you are referring to. Like in some species of birds or other primates the females are less extravagant looking and this is also true in the case of the golden snub-nosed monkeys; the females have silvery backs and brownish-black head and upper extremities. However, the males have the bright orangey gold color, that gives this species its name, on their head, forehead, neck, and upper parts.
