Apes and Monkeys
Information about Apes:
An ape is any member of the biological superfamily Hominoidea (hominoids). Within this superfamily are two familes of hominoids, the first being “Hylobatidae.” This includes the species like the gibbon and siamang, or more commonly called the “lesser apes” and then there is the family of “Hominidae” and this includes the chimpanzees, gorillas, humans and orangutans, and these species represent the “great apes.” Apes are omnivorous, good problem solvers, highly intelligent and usually very adept at climbing trees (except the gorillas and humans.)
Apes have prehensile hands and feet, and their arms are generally longer than their legs. They are mostly native to Asia and Africa, however they have spread across the world due to various reasons. In the family of the great apes, most are threatened or endangered, usually due to habit loss and illegal capture and poaching. There was a time that humans were not included in this family, however studies have shown that we are closely related to this animals, and share much of the same DNA.
Bald Uakari – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Bald Uakari:
The Bald Uakari - also called the Bald-Headed Uakari - is monkey native to the seasonally flooded forests and other wooded habitats near water in the western Amazon of Brazil and Peru. The Bald Uakari weighs about 6.1-7.6 pounds (2.75-3.45 kg) with a body length of 18 inches long (45.6 cm.) Females are slightly smaller. It is rarely found outside of the forest canopy. It is omnivorous, feeding mostly on fruits found in the trees, but it will also eat flowers, buds and small animals. Because the monkey has such a small range, it is extremely susceptible to human activity such as habitat loss. Several conservative groups are working to help preserve enough natural habitat to save the Bald Uakari from extinction.

Barbary Macaque – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Barbary Macaque:
The Barbary Macaque - also called the Barbary Ape or Magot - is a species of primate native to the forests of the Atlas Mountains of Algeria and Morocco and El-Kouf National Park in Libya. There are also populations in Gibraltar and in Asia. The Barbary Macaque is the only species of macaque found outside of Asia. Their diet is a mixture of insects and vegetable matter. They are preyed upon by leopards, eagles and domestic feral dogs. Due a number of factors, the wild population of the Barbary Macaque has dwindled down to just a few thousand in Europe, Africa and Asia.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:

Black Howler Monkeys – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Black Howler Monkeys:
Black Howler Monkeys are a medium-sized species of the New World Monkeys, native to the tropical rainforests of South and Central America. Like most other monkeys, they have prehensile tails, and uses them to help move them through the jungle canopy. Howlers live in groups of 10 to 20 individuals. As their name suggests, their vocalizations are very important to them, and it is thought they are one, if not the, loudest animal on the planet and their calls can be heard for miles around. While Howlers generally do not make good pets, Black Howlers are the most docile and are sometimes kept as pets.

Black-and-White Colobus Monkey – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Black & White Colobus Monkey:
Black & White Colobus Monkey are Old World monkeys of the genus Colobus, native to Africa. They are closely related to the brown colobus monkeys of genus Piliocolobus. The word "colobus" comes from Greek word for ("docked"), and is so named because in this genus, the thumb is a stump. Colobuses are herbivorous, eating leaves, fruit, flowers, and twigs. Their habitats include primary and secondary forests, riverine forests, and wooded grasslands; they are found more in higher-density logged forests than in other primary forests. Their ruminant-like digestive systems have enabled these leaf-eaters to occupy niches that are inaccessible to other primates. Colobuses live in territorial groups of about nine individuals, based upon a single male with a number of females and their offspring. Newborn colobuses are completely white. Cases of allomothering are documented, which means members of the troop other than the infant's biological mother care for it. Colobuses are important for seed dispersal through their sloppy eating habits, as well as through their digestive systems. They are prey for many forest predators, and are threatened by hunting for the bushmeat trade, logging, and habitat destruction.

Bornean Orangutan – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Bornean Orangutan:
The Bornean Orangutan is one of two species of orangutan (the other being the Sumatran.) It is native to the island of Borneo, which is the largest island in Asia and the third largest in the world. The Bornean Orangutan is the third largest of the great apes, behind the two species of gorilla. It is the largest in Asia. Large males can weigh about 165 pounds (75 kg) with the females being smaller. They have very long arms which help them navigate the dense jungles where they live. Currently, this primate can be found in the two Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak, and three of the four Indonesian Provinces of Kalimantan. It is highly endangered due to habitat loss and illegal hunting. 100 years ago there were thought to be 315,000 orangutans in the wild. There are now less than 6,600 left in Sumatra, and less than 54,000 in Borneo.
