Anthropology Zoo Assignment(BIOANTHROPOLOGY)

   

OBJECTIVES:

4 Know and be able to recognize general characteristics of primate anatomy and locomotion.

4 Recognize correlations between patterns of locomotion, primate anatomy, and behavior. 

4 Visit Woodland Park Zoo (or another zoological park) and observe, compare, and contrast at least four species of primates. Also include one non-primate mammal in your comparison, for a total of five animals. Students are permitted to do some of their observation outside of the zoo, but a trip to a local zoo is required for this assignment (unless you plan to Safari in Tanzania this quarter)!

4 Practice written communication skills, by producing a laboratory report that records your observations of four different locomotor and corresponding behavior patterns of primates at the zoo, as well as the non-primate mammal that you have chosen to include in your comparison.
