Persuasive Speech On Endangered Chimpanzee

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.

Bonobos share 98.7% of our genetic make-up (DNA) (Carroll, n.d.). This leads too many similarities between bonobos and humans, but also some key differences. Being so that bonobos share so much DNA makes them closer to us than they are to gorillas (7 Facts about Bonobos n.d.). Bonobos have an upright skeleton, long legs, and narrow shoulders. They can walk biped ally which means on two feet. Bonobos are described as coal black faced, with rosy pink lips, and coal black long hair that neatly parts straight down the middle of its head. Their hands and feet are also coal black matching their face and hair. They also have a little bit of webbing between their first two toes. The thumb of the bonobo like any other species is opposed to the other fingers. This allows the bonobo to swing from branch to branch and grasp tools when needed. They do not have a tail. The Bonobo has a very high pitched voice in comparison to other apes almost birdlike noises. The high pitched voice allows them to communicate at night when, they are trying to gather in a group in the trees and nests. Their sizes differ between the males and the females and adults. The head size and body length is about 29-38 inches long. Adult males weigh in about roughly at about 39kg (86 pounds). Adult females weigh about 31kg (68.3 pounds). The total population of bonobo’s is 10,000 to 50,000 (Carroll, Bonobos Facts,

Who is Jane Goodall, by Roberta Edwards was such a great book, I would give it five star. This book tells a great true story about how a brave young woman named Jane Goodall born in 1934 in London, England who followed her dreams to study chimpanzees. Her love and compassion for the chimpanzees was very strong and shows in this book. It was very well written and fun to read, I could not put it down. It 's a good history as well. I think anyone would enjoy reading this book about Jane Goodall and the livelong work she has done. Jane Goodall was born in London, England. She always loved animals and wanted to do a study on them. So at age twenty-six, off she wen to Africa. Jane Goodall 's observations and hands on experiments working with chimpanzees was remarkable. One thing that really shocked me was that Jane risked her life working with the creatures she loved so much. She was beaten and thrown over a cliff by a chimpanzee, but yet she continued her adventure with them.

I. [Attention getter]: According to All World Primates, a database with the research from 300 scientists observations on primate behavior, there are about 612 species and subspecies in the world. 30% of these are endangered, including the Orangutans.

A primate is a mammal of the order. Many primate represent diverse adaptations to life representing to life in its environment. These primates live in the tropical forests and consist of two main lineages: strepsirrhines and

From the fossil teeth, we can infer that insects were not the only food for early primates, they also eat fruits as there are the presence of round molars which facilitate grinding. For instance, from the features of lions, we can see that they eat both meats and plats. In their teeth, there are both flat sharp molars. The flatter and rounder molars are for grinding grass fruits while sharper molars are for tearing meats. Also, by observing human fossil teeth, the flat and round molars enable them to grind plants and fruits. From this, we can see that our early ancestor mainly ate plants with a plenty of insects for food.

The next race was made from the wood and the bark of the trees. These beings were much stronger, they had the ability to walk, talk and multiply. But, their hearts were hollow and they had no minds, no memories. When they spoke their words were meaningless. They were not able to praise their gods. The gods commanded the waters to flood down upon these wooden creatures and the animals were sent to attack the survivors. The little of the race that were able to escape fled to the woods and became the forms of monkeys.

The illegal hunting and trade of primate meat is a large contributing factor to the decline of primate species in the tropics. This, in addition to habitat loss and fragmentation, disease, and the pet trade, is putting many primate species at high risk of extinction. Poverty, population growth, construction of roads, emergence of regional and international markets, and new hunting technology are triggering the increased hunting pressure on forest mammals. Primate species are especially vulnerable to increased hunting pressure because of their slower reproductive cycles. The decline of primate species must be stopped to avoid their extinction and the potential consequences that this could have for tropical forests. Often, bushmeat is an important

Have you ever thought about which animals are near extinction or endangerment ? Have you looked them up? How many are left? Which ones have been removed? Do you know why they are going endangered? Have you heard what a dodo is? Well yeah it’s extinct. Do you know why? Do you know why it’s important to save an endangered animal?

climate change influenced nonhuman primate evolution because with the changes, nonhuman primates were forced to evolve in order to survive. As the climate change progressed and several species started to die out, nonhuman primates evolved through time and thus they were able to survive and climate change that occurred and were able to evolve into creatures that we see during present times.

Climate change influences nonhuman primate evolution in a number of ways. Fore example, in Central Asia, climates increased temperature by an insane amount. However, the issue among primates became that it was too dry of an environment and they were not able to survive. Primates among the northern hemisphere pretty much disappeared as a result of the increase in temperature of that period. Additionally, in South Asia and East Africa, tropical rain forests were being taken out and instead they would have grassy woodland areas, much less wet than the environment they replaced. These lines of primates that were being forced out of their homes and made to relocate eventually became virtually extinct because of the overall increase in temperature.

Humans have been the dominant species for many years and over the course of history, human nature has never been fully understood due to the fact that there are major differences between how we function in the world compare to other species and we are still learning from it. Human nature is defined as the ability to think, feel, and act in this world (Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary, n.d.). Humans are selfish individuals because no matter how much they act; they want to fulfill their own interest. We blame nature for our problems because other actions, not necessarily our own, control us but in reality it is our own decisions that caused these actions.

In the dense amazon forests of Southwest Peru and Northwest Brazil lives the emperor tamarin (saguinus imperator). With a body length of 10 inches, an average weight of one pound and a 15” tail, these tiny primates are distinctively unique. Emperor tamarins have a black or grey coat with a brownish red chest and tail. They have claws on all of their fingers and toes with the exception of a great toe. This is covered with a nail. The tamarins have one distinguishing feature which is fitting to their name, a long white drooping mustache. These primates are diurnal and spend their days leaping about from tree to tree. The emperor tamarin has variety in their diet. They eat: plants, fruit, tree sap, small lizards,

There are two main reasons why its population is decreasing. One is due to the destruction of it habitat, due to overpopulation in the area it is competing for food and that causes too much stress. With the bonobo under stress the birth date will drop (“Chimpanzee, Pygmy” 45). Second reason is due to illegal poaching rank. The reason for poaching is due to civil dispute in the DRC, the bonobo is being used for bushmeat and traditional medicine (“Bonobos.” World Wildlife). It is expected that the bonobo won’t live long.
