My name is Zoë and I am a college student who is taking a very interesting anthropology class called ‘Intro to Primates’. The more I learn about primatology and primates, the more I love it! So I thought it would be a fun project to make a tumblr where I have a Primate of the Day, post a picture and a little info.Tumblr (3.0; @primateoftheday)http://primateoftheday.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0374380cff0b00aa7c341038ea5ac5bb/tumblr_mjkx35cxaH1qhb28uo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://fashionandcats.tumblr.com/post/45242742893/waterfall">fashionandcats</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Waterfall</p> </blockquote> <p>my post has 120 notes in counting!</p>http://primateoftheday.tumblr.com/post/47202465124http://primateoftheday.tumblr.com/post/47202465124Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:28:29 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbljcob1HR1qzya49o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://theanimalblog.tumblr.com/post/33261876308/a-fluffy-young-gibbon-affectionately-christened">theanimalblog</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>A fluffy young gibbon - affectionately christened Gollum - shows off her fancy footwork at Khao Kheow Zoo, in Chonburi Province, Thailand. </span><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/picturesoftheday/9593703/Pictures-of-the-day-8-October-2012.html?frame=2362802">Picture: Ashley Vincent/Solent News & Photo Agency</a></p> </blockquote>http://primateoftheday.tumblr.com/post/33276214486http://primateoftheday.tumblr.com/post/33276214486Tue, 09 Oct 2012 22:42:09 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzi3r7KN1F1qhb28uo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://zoelikessocks.tumblr.com/post/17721081298/keith-haring-at-moma">zoelikessocks</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Keith Haring at MOMA</p> </blockquote> <p>look how many notes my pic hazzzz yayyy</p>http://primateoftheday.tumblr.com/post/33275812479http://primateoftheday.tumblr.com/post/33275812479Tue, 09 Oct 2012 22:36:37 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbkyzfH4XI1qhb28uo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://zoelikessocks.tumblr.com/post/33162398588/koko-the-gorilla-and-her-kitty">zoelikessocks</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Koko the Gorilla and her kitty!</p> </blockquote>http://primateoftheday.tumblr.com/post/33162404609http://primateoftheday.tumblr.com/post/33162404609Mon, 08 Oct 2012 11:28:35 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbc1601lAD1rxxbhao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://bawijama.tumblr.com/post/32818632497/this-is-a-new-species-of-monkey-known-locally-as">bawijama</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span class="Apple-style-span">This is a new species of monkey, known locally as the lesula, which has been identified in Africa.</span></p> </blockquote>http://primateoftheday.tumblr.com/post/33162180634http://primateoftheday.tumblr.com/post/33162180634Mon, 08 Oct 2012 11:24:06 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2af7p4ozZ1qdk4eio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME</p> <p>baby snub-nosed monkey, one of the most endangered primates on our planet</p>http://primateoftheday.tumblr.com/post/33162087275http://primateoftheday.tumblr.com/post/33162087275Mon, 08 Oct 2012 11:22:12 -0400monkeyprimatesnub nosed<p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://zoelikessocks.tumblr.com/post/26536100927/free-bottle-of-zoya-nail-polish">zoelikessocks</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><img height="225" src="http://media.artofbeauty.com/890928.ZP614_Regan2_225x225.jpg" width="225"/></p> <p>Want a free bottle of Zoya nail polish?

Bonobos are a small species living only in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They are famous for their human-like appearance and how often they have sex. Bonobos have sex multiple times a day for many reasons, including: excitement, to make alliances, and to relieve tension and avoid conflict. All combinations are possible with all genders and ages. They are also one of the only primates to have sex face-to-face.</p>http://primateoftheday.tumblr.com/post/14272170421http://primateoftheday.tumblr.com/post/14272170421Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:02:30 -0500bonoboapechimpprimatecutecoolsexanimalsmammalsprimate of the day<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw0kmm7Ag41r3zolvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Day 8</strong></p> <p>This is a Gelada baboon.
