The brown spider monkey is a species of spider monkey that inhabits areas of the continent of South America. The scientific name of the spider monkey is Ateles, while that of the brown spider monkey is Ateles hybridus. The habitat of the brown spider monkey consists of the undisturbed evergreen rainforests located in the subtropical and tropical lowlands of both Colombia and Venezuela. There are two subspecies of the brown spider monkey, Ateles hybridus hybridus and Ateles hybridus brunneus. (According to_____) Hybridus hybridus inhabits both Colombia and Venezuela in rainforests extending from the right of the banks of the Rio Magdalena River into western Venezuela. The latter subspecies, on the other hand, can only be found in the Colombian geographic departments of Bolivar, Antioquia, and Caldas. Brown spider monkeys reside mainly in the high canopy of the rainforests though they can also be found in the middle and lower strata.

Quote to get an audience pumped up in five syllables as suggested by John Oliver:
The first person to see a chimpanzee use a tool was Jane Goodall in 1960. She saw David Greybeard a chimpanzee she named and saw him get a piece grass and used it for fishing termites. The chimpanzee inserted the piece of grass into the hole it made on a termite mound. David Greybeard did the process a couple of times until he got full then Jane Goodall went to the mount to figure out what the chimpanzee was doing. Over a couple of days, David and other chimpanzees were observed using a piece of a twig to get termites out of the mount. The chimpanzees removed the leaf and straighten the twig before inserted it into the mount. When chimpanzees find a hard dirt mound, they use their foot to penetrate the piece of wood, so they can reach the bottom of the mount. The use of rock as a tool among chimps is unique feature among primates. Scientists have discovered chimpanzees use rocks as tools. Chimpanzees sharpen rocks by hitting them to a tree or another rock, so it got strong, enough and durable. The sharpen rocks is for breaking food apart into little proportions, so the babies can eat the food easier. When the monkeys hit the rocks on another rock, little chips come off and it becomes sharp. Scientist studied chimpanzees in the Nimbia Mountains of Guinea, Africa the chimps were seeing using the rocks and wooden cleavers to break hard nuts into smaller proportions eat. There have been many instances where a scientists have seen chimps use sharp rocks to kill other animals when they’re on the hunt. The rocks are used as defense weapons when they’re under attack and the chimpanzees use male dominance to show who’s responsible. Chimpanzees in the captive have to find new ways to use the tools that are made. Chimpanzees in captivity ...
Jeremias Gotthelf ‘s novella, “The Black Spider” is a highly ideological story of an evil poisonous black spider that wreaks havoc and death upon the villagers. It begins with a picturesque framework of a christening party on a farm, during which a guest notices and inquires about an incongruous black post on a newly built house. The grandfather then tells a story about a tyrannical knight by the name of Hans von Stoffeln who imposed impossible burdens upon the villagers and of the devil that appears as a huntsman to be their savior. One villager, Christine, agrees to the devils proposal, thinking she can outwit him. However, her betrayal unleashes an uncontainable and perpetual evil upon their town.
The monkeys of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book are a very unique group of characters. They are viewed by the other animals of the jungle, or the Jungle People as they call themselves, as outcasts and outlaws. The most prominent chapter they occur in, “Kaa’s Hunting”, shows their lawless, shiftless, and uncivilized way of life. This image in itself does not give off any racist undertone. However, Disney’s adaption of The Jungle Book carries this view of the monkeys, while also giving them strong attributes that are commonly associated with African-Americans.
Our earliest ancestors are primates. They are our closest relatives which is why we can see our behavior’s and practices in them. If we observe them we can get a better understanding of them and us, human beings. But unfortunately we all don’t get the chance to see a Primate right in our backdoor. So the best thing I could do for my observation was to visit them at the zoo.
... live in arboreal habitats, while Old World Monkeys are able to tolerate a wider range of habitats. With this being said, it is important to understand that Old World and New World monkeys may look similar, yet a closer look reveals unique and distinctive differences.
The monkey's paw was not the real cause of Herbert's death. His death was caused by machinery. But before I get into that, lets talk about superstition/magic. Believing in magic can then lead to obsession, which then can lead to psychosis. The text states in the New York Times, "At its worst, it can lead to obsession, fatalism, and psychosis." Symptoms of psychosis include confusion, hallucinations, and paranoia according to the Mayo Clinic. Most people would say that Herbert's death did occur from the monkey's paw, this is because a coincidence like this is impossible. They would also say he disappeared when the father made his third wish. If you factor in psychosis and grief, you can have crazy hallucinations. The mother could have been so overcome with grief,
A hip, hop, hibbety-hop, another quick jump, and the small yet very scared (LaRoe 84) monkey had gone from one tree to the next. With a fuzzy white stomach, small, pointy ears, and a “red hat” on top of his head, this was a renowned Patas monkey that lived in Kenya’s wild grasslands. The small monkey, with his big eyes wide open, searched around the neighbhoring trees for some nuts. He stretched his neck out as much as he could to look at every nook and cranny of the trees nearby, until he finally spotted a big juicy red nut (Woodland Zoo 1). His small snout immediately turned into a sort of grin, which the Patas are actually able to do. The little monkey (Clouting 138-139) suddenly got a running start from the branch and jumped like a bolt of lightning and hit the next tree. His quickness, jumping from tree to tree was amazing, with his small body and his long gummy like arms and legs (Woodland Zoo 2). After a couple of quick jumps and hops, he had arrived at the tree to be, the one with the big red juicy nut. He quickly grabbed it and jumped. Holding the nut in one hand, the little monkey hit the ground and took off running. The sunlight in the Kenya grassland had started to dim, and the little monkey knew he had to get home before it turned dark and all the bigger and scary animals came out to get their own food. As the little monkey was running, he noticed something in the clear distance. It was big, yellow, and had an uncountable number of black spots on it. Knowing that he would probably mean lunch for this yellow menace, he little monkey slowed down to a walk. The sun was seen less
If I were Gary Anderson, I would not accept to take up the position of a project manager after the director stated that this project would be his baby all the way (Dawn, 2010). This statement shows that the director will overshadow the project and potentially become a hindrance to ultimate outcome of the project. There is a possibility of conflict of interest developing.
My mother is always suspicious of panhandlers. She used to pull me closer whenever we'd encounter a begging homeless person on the subway and drop her eyes, focusing on the stray paper and chewing-gum medallions--blackened with soot of the city--that decorated the floor. She and my father frequently describe seeing a homeless man who begs in our neighborhood (claiming to have AIDS, and afflicted with a multitude of painful-looking sores) walking down a street near our house, dapper in a dark business suit, his face free of the blemishes that had covered his skin on other occasions.
