    The gray wolf 's expressive behavior is more complex than that of the coyote and golden jackal, as necessitated by its group living and hunting habits. While less gregarious canids generally possess simple repertoires of visual signals, wolves have more varied signals which subtly inter grade in intensity.[12][13] When neutral, the legs are not stiffened, the tail hangs down loosely, the face is smooth, the lips untensed, and the ears point in no particular direction.[135] Postural communication in wolves consists of a variety of facial expressions, tail positions and piloerection.[120] Aggressive, or self-assertive wolves are characterized by their slow and deliberate movements, high body posture and raised hackles, while submissive ones carry their bodies low, sleeken their fur and lower their ears and tail.[136] When a breeding male encounters a subordinate family member, it may stare at it, standing erect and still with the tails horizontal to its spine.[137] Two forms of submissive behavior are recognized: passive and active. Passive submission usually occurs as a reaction to the approach of a dominant animal, and consists of the submissive wolf lying partly on its back and allowing the dominant wolf to sniff its anogenital area.

    1022 Words  | 5 Pages

    Humans have been examining and studying non-human primates for ages in an attempt to further understand the reasoning behind human behavior and base instinct. While it would be ideal to study non-human primates in the wild, away from possible interference from human civilization, that is often not the case, especially for students, and in this case the non-human primates have been observed within captivity. Specifically, the species observed were the Tufted Capuchin monkey (Cebus apella) and the common squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) at the Living Links to Human Evolution Research Centre in Edinburgh Zoo. The tufted capuchin monkey is most commonly found within the neotropical regions of South America including: Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Suriname,

    In the next section, “The Case of the Disobedient Orangutans”, the author further delves into the concept of language and animal behavior by arguing that orangutans develop a “vocabulary”, a type of language when interacting with their trainers. The author uses situations found in literature, research, and real life examples to illustrate that animals are more sophisticated than initially considered and have an ability to work with a language. “Wittgenstein’s Lion” begins with a reference to Immanuel Kant and his role in separating human beings from animals by saying that animals apparently do not cry. This beginning is

    The monkey represents youth and innocence and the people that left with the monkey represented the narrator 's friends. Sally acted like a grown up adult, and the narrator was still stuck in her youth. This is shown in the story when her friends turn more interested in talking to the boys rather than playing games with just girls like they use to. The monkey caused embarrassment to the narrator because she still wanted to act like a young girl and not not kiss boys like her friend Sally. “And it was then we took over the garden we had been afraid to go into when the monkey screamed and showed its yellow teeth,” this quote shows when the boys and other adult activities occurred in the garden the narrator did not want to go to and be a part of the garden or any of its non-youth

    I believe this could be for multiple reasons, such as to relieve stress, cool down/warm up, or to eat/check for food. I also noticed some differences between them, like how the tamarins, being smaller than the howler monkey, seemed much more alert and were always looking up and around them.

Thus, being more alert helps them locate potential predators before they
