5lwh what primates eat

shared by Elizabeth B on 09 Sep 09 - Cached
  • Most nonhuman primates live in tropical and subtropical areas of the new world and old world. Most primates live an arboreal lifestyle, that is, they travel, eat, and sleep in the tops of trees. Even the larger apes, like chimpanzees and orangutans, usually sleep in leafy nests they make in trees. The most notable exceptions to this behavior are gorillas and humans. Both are ground dwellers.
  • As primates evolved over the past 50-60 million years, two important things happened. 1) Their faces flattened and the eyes moved to the front of the head, giving them binocular vision. 2) They developed hands with separate fingers and opposable thumbs. This allowed them to grasp and hold on to branches and other objects.

  • Most primate species are omnivores and like to eat many different things including fruit, leaves, insects, larvae, and other animals. Despite being omnivores, most species eat mostly fruit and other plants. Some species, like the orangutans of Borneo, mainly eat fruit. Others, like howler monkeys, eat mostly leaves and have a special digestive system to process them. Scientists think that primates prefer to eat fruit and plants, because it is much easier to get plant foods than hunt for moving animals.

  • Each stage in Crayon Physics Deluxe features at least two objects: a ball and one or more stars. Your goal is to move the ball to collect the stars and finish the stage. It's that simple. Using the left mouse button you can draw using crayon-style lines. Click, drag, and when you release, the shape you made comes alive and is given mass. You can draw wild shapes, plain shapes, lines, hearts, stars, bacon, monkeys, and everything in-between, it all interacts using realistic physics. You can even build rudimentary machines that are powered by gravity, attach shapes using hinges, and give the ball a little boost by clicking on it. Don't let typical gaming conventions limit yourself, as creativity is the key to enjoying Crayon Physics Deluxe.
