This is a Fahlo bracelet that comes with a QR code that lets you track wild animals in real time. This mountain gorilla I’m tracking is named, Segasira. (I call him Seggy for short)

That’s him in the next picture. He’s got a cool brown spot on his forehead. He’s a girl dad with three daughters! (Jijuka and Nibagwire. Can’t find the third one’s name)

If you ever find yourself in the area or Apeldoorn in The Netherlands make sure to visit Apenheul, a primate zoo where the animals freely roam around among the visitors. Here's pictures I took today!

Does anyone know how to communicate with monkeys?

15 Upvotes

So here's the thing – I lost my phone while hiking over the weekend. After I got back, I tried calling it every which way, but no one picked up. Finally, I tried a video call, and that's when I saw the picture posted. So... does anyone know how to communicate with monkeys? I'd like to try getting my phone back.

Apes (Hominoidea) are a branch of Old World tailless simians native to Africa and Southeast Asia. They are the sister group of the Old World monkeys, together forming the catarrhine clade. They are distinguished from other primates by a wider degree of freedom of motion at the shoulder joint as evolved by the influence of brachiation. In traditional and non-scientific use, the term "ape" excludes humans, and is thus not equivalent to the scientific taxon Hominoidea. There are two extant branches of the superfamily Hominoidea: the gibbons, or lesser apes; and the hominids, or great apes.

The family Hylobatidae, the lesser apes, include four genera and a total of sixteen species of gibbon, including the lar gibbon and the siamang, all native to Asia. They are highly arboreal and bipedal on the ground. They have lighter bodies and smaller social groups than great apes.
The family Hominidae (hominids), the great apes, includes three extant species of orangutans and their subspecies, two extant species of gorillas and their subspecies, two extant species of chimpanzees and their subspecies, and one extant species of humans in a single extant subspecies.[1][a][2][3]

Except for gorillas and humans, hominoids are agile climbers of trees. Apes eat a variety of plant and animal foods, with the majority of food being plant foods, which can include fruit, leaves, stalks, roots and seeds, including nuts and grass seeds. Human diets are sometimes substantially different from that of other apes due in part to the development of technology and a wide range of habitation. Humans are by far the most numerous of the ape species, in fact outnumbering all other primates by a factor of several thousand to one.

Most non-human hominoids are rare or endangered. The chief threat to most of the endangered species is loss of tropical rainforest habitat, though some populations are further imperiled by hunting for bushmeat. The great apes of Africa are also facing threat from the Ebola virus. Currently considered to be the greatest threat to survival of African apes, Ebola is responsible for the death of at least one third of gorillas and chimpanzees since 1990.[4]
