Document Summary
Human diseases have been documented in primates other than humans. Tb, down"s syndrome, and heart disease, to list a few. Ecotourism tourism activities where the proceeds go to conservation of the animals. The tours, themselves, will actually help the ecosystem. Some laws are passed that illegalize animal trading (dead or alive) and hunting seasons. Efforts to raise orphans and release them into the wild so that they can survive and reproduce. In one case, the people reintroduced 75 individuals into the wild. Residence pattern the male-female relationships in certain groups of primates. The adult males spend most of their time alone. This is where a male and female will form a bond that, typically, lasts throughout their lives. Polyandry one adult female, multiple adult males in one group, and offspring. Multimale-multifemale many males and females, both adults and subadults. There are certain hierarchical rules within the group. They can disperse and return together (fission and fusion) on will.
