Classification - Primates Cards
Science Resource Description
The 'Primates Cards' set is a collection of educational cards that pictorially represent various members of the primate family. This set includes cards for humans, known for their advanced cognitive abilities and complex social structures. Gibbons, with their distinctive long arms, are also featured, highlighting their arboreal lifestyle and acrobatic prowess. The vividly colored mandrill, recognized for its striking facial hues, shares space with the imposing gorilla, one of our closest relatives known for its strength and social communities.
Other primates in the collection include the intelligent orangutan, renowned for its solitary nature and remarkable tree-climbing skills, and the baboon, a ground-dweller with a strong social hierarchy. The Japanese macaque, often found in snowy regions, is depicted alongside the red shanked douc, which is admired for its vibrant and unique fur coloration. The distinctive proboscis monkey, with its large nose and pot-bellied appearance, is featured next to the golden tamarin, a smaller primate with a golden mane. Rounding out the set are the capuchin, known for its tool-using abilities, and the woolly monkey, which boasts a thick, soft coat suited to its rainforest habitat.
