Talapoin

 
 
The Life of Animals | Talapoin | Talapoins are two types of Old World monkeys classified as genus Miopithecus.  With a typical length of 32-45 cm and a weight of 1.3 kg (males) and 0.8 kg (females), the smaller the Talapoins are Old World monkeys. Talapoins are diurnal and arboreal, prefers tropical mangrove forests and near water. As Allen swamp monkey, they are good swimmers in the water and look for food. These animals live in large groups of 60-100 animals. The groups are composed of several males, mature females and their numerous offspring.


The vocal repertoire is smaller, too. Talapoins are omnivorous, their diet consists mainly of fruits, seeds, aquatic plants, insects, crustaceans, birds' eggs and small vertebrates. Offspring are significantly large and well developed (infants weighing more than 200 grams and is approximately one-quarter the weight of the mother) and develop rapidly.

Proboscis Monkeys

  
The Life of Animals | Proboscis Monkeys | The proboscis monkey is dimorphic sexuality. Females medium 62 cm (24.4 inches) long and weigh as much as the male half. The proboscis monkey has a coat almost over. Dorsal skin is bright orange, red, red, brown or yellowish-brown brick. The skin is light gray, yellowish or grayish to pale orange ventral side is orange-pink. The male has a penis a scrotum red with black. Many of the paved monkey fingers. Proboscis monkeys usually live in groups consisting of one adult male, several females and their offspring. Other groups also exist, such as all-male groups and less documented species. Monkey to leave in groups, the overlapping areas, and there is little territorial behavior. Proboscis monkeys live in a fission fusion society, uniting groups with the side sleep late in the day. There are bands that are nuclear fission and fusion of groups formed.


A man of groups ranging from 9 to 19 people, while the bands may consist of up to 60 people. A man of groups generally have 3-12 people, but can be larger. Aggravated assault is uncommon among the monkeys, but less aggression occur frequently. A linear dominance hierarchy between men and women. Male by a group of men in their groups of 6-8 years to stay. Replacement of resident males appear to occur without serious aggression.Upon reaching adulthood, males leave their birth group and join all-male groups. Women sometimes leave their birth group, perhaps to avoid inbreeding or infanticide to reduce competition for food or increase their dominance status. Females reach sexual maturity at 5 years of age. The collection, both sexes a sullen face. Also sometimes singing men and women will present your background to a couple times male.Copulating harassed by sub-adults. Proboscis monkeys can engage in non-reproductive mounting, as playful and homosexual mounting.


The nose of a young grow slowly until they reach adulthood. If a resident male is replaced in some groups of one man, the children run the risk of infanticide. The monkey only lives in lowland habitats such as coastal and riverine habitat, many of which are flooded by tides. He prefers dipterocarp, mangrove forests and lowland forests in Auch, stunted swamp forests, forests, plantations of gum rubber, limestone hill forest, Nipa swamps, marshes and swamp forests Nibong large tropical forests and heathland cliffs can be found.

Gelada

  
The Life of Animals | Gelada | The ice is large and robust. It is covered with buff, dark brown, thick hair and has a dark face and eyelids pale.

No sexual dimorphism of the species males averaged 18.5 kg (40.8 lb) while females are smaller, averaging 11 kg (24.3 pounds). Tail length is 30-50 cm from 11.8 to 19.7 inches). Ice has several adjustments to their lifestyle and terrestrial herbivore. He has adapted resistant small fingers to pull the grass and narrow incisors, small adapted for chewing.


Mountain areas in which they live tend to be cooler and less arid plains areas.Thus, cold usually do not feel the negative effects of the dry season on food availability. Icy are the only primates that are primarily herbivores and graminivores - blades of grass up 90% of their diet. They eat both blades and grass seed. When both leaves and seeds are cold prefer seeds available. They also eat flowers, roots and rhizomes, when available, using hands to dig the last two. They also eat grasses, herbs, small fruits, vines, shrubs and weeds. During the dry season, grasses and herbs are consumed less are preferred. Eat frozen foods that primates and ungulates, and can chew your food as effectively as zebras. They are essentially cold days. At night they sleep in the sun cliffs.At edges, leave the cliffs and travel to the tops of the mountains to feed and socialize. By late morning, social activities tend to decrease and the frozen concentrated fodder.


When night activities, exhibitions of social ice before entering the sleeping cliffs When in estrus, the female basa back to one male and up wagging his tail to one side. Then the man comes and inspects the female breasts and genital areas. The female will mate up to five times a day, usually around noon. The majority of births occur at night. Newborns have a red face, eyes closed, and covered with black hairs. On average, babies born weighing 464 g. Women who have just given birth to stay on the periphery of the playback unit.

Like all lemurs, sifaka has special adaptations for the care, including a toilet-claw on its second toe and a heart and kidney Sifakas move by vertical clinging and leaping, that is, they maintain an upright position, jumping from tree to tree trunk and branches along.

 

On the ground they move sideways like all indrids legged hopping movements with the hind legs, its front legs to keep balance. Sifakas are diurnal and arboreal  Sifakas are herbivores feeds on leaves, flowers and fruits Sifakas live in larger groups than the other indrids (up to 13 animals). Edges of different sifaka territories can overlap. Even if they defend their territory from invasion by others of their kind, they can peacefully co-exist with other lemur species such as Red-bellied Lemur and the Common Brown Lemur.
