Cladisitic taxonomy of primates
Strepsirrhini (curly) wet membrane around the nose, nocturnal animals with very developed olfactory senses).
Lorises (South Asia and Africa)
Galago: moveable ears, long foot bone (to leap), tapetum lucidum (mirror-like, light-reflecting eyes: night vision).Toilet claw for self-grooming on the second digit foot
Loris: Does not have a tail because it does not leap but climbs, they do not need the tail to keep their balance
Lemurs (Madagascar) : hunt in the dark because wet nose and whiskers : tactile sensing
Aye-Aye: Long clawed digits especially middle-fingered used to grab substance from hollow tree parts and bamboo. Has ball and socket joint helps with rotation. Rodent-like teeth (convergent evolution). It is the only primate without canines and continuously growing incisors like rodents
Mouse Lemur
Ring tailed lemur
Haplorrhini (simple) dry nose, less developed sense of smell better vision, hunt during the day)
Catarrhini (comma shaped nostrils)
APES (South Asia and Africa)
Great apes
Bonobo: Chimpanzees and Bonobos are members of the same genus
Gorilla: no tail
Orangutan: closest living relative all other African apes including humans
small apes
Gibbon: long arms helps with branchiation
OLD WORLD MONKEYS
Cercopithecines
Macaque
Baboon: Dental formula of: 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 pre molars and three molars, sale as all other old world monkeys, humans and apes. All 4 limbs almost equal in length
mandrill
Colobinae
Snub nosed monkey
proboscis
langur
B and W colobus
Platyrrhinis (flat, nose and round nostrils)
NEW WORLD MONKEYS : Meso South America:
Callitrichids : Feed on sap, possess claws apart from big toe that has a flat nail . Grandmothers eat their grandchildren
Tamarin: small animals, usually birth to twins, significant male involvement in raising the offspring. Claws.
Marmoset
Cebids :
Capuchin : central vision (in depth or 3D vision), prehensile tail, pendactyl (grasping hands and feet)
Howler Monkey
Spider monkey: one of the few monkeys (among the platyrrhines) to have a prehensile tail
Tarsier: South East Asia: elongated foot-bone, the talus, and calcaneum (fusion of ankle and heel bone). Fused leg bones: the tibia and fibula (fusion of the 2 bones between the ankle and the knee). Have a tail, helps with leaping.
