   http://www.buav.org/pri/pri.htm
   
   Extractions: The BUAV has undertaken one of its most dangerous investigations to date, into the international trade in wild caught baboons for research. BUAV investigators travelled to Tanzania to infiltrate the primate supply network. We uncovered evidence of wild baboons being kept in shocking conditions prior to their export to laboratories around the world. Our unique footage has revealed the appalling treatment inflicted on these highly sensitive and sociable animals. Sold for as little as $12 each (£8) by the trappers, these primates are then sold on to the international research industry for up to $1200 per baboon (approximately £800). Tanzania is East Africa's largest country. It has rich and varied ecosystems and is a country of great natural wealth and spectacular beauty. Mt Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, is amongst Tanzania's most popular attractions. It is also well-known for its extensive flora and fauna and is home to more than 4 million wild animals, including many non-human primates, over 60,000 insect species, more than 1000 bird species and a host of plant species. It is thus a popular destination for tourists who are playing an increasingly important role in the Tanzanian economy. Prior to our investigation, little was known as to the exact location of the baboon dealers' trapping sites and holding stations in Tanzania. Thus on arrival in the country, the BUAV investigators had to carry out detective work during which they met with suspicion and on occasions hostility, often finding themselves in potentially dangerous situations. Their perseverance, however, paid off and soon they were able to start unravelling the secret world of the Tanzanian primate dealers.

   Extractions: Baboon information Baboons are amoungst the largest of primates. All species of Baboon have cheek pouches which enable them to grab food quickly and run with it, without the need to stop and chew. Baboons have large canine teeth and long snouts. Baboons' ears and faces have no fur. Their arms and legs (forelimbs and hindlimbs) are approximately equal in length, giving baboons their amusing "stoop" in movement. Baboons have tails which vary in length, but are generally long. Baboons have thick and course fur the colour of which varies with species and habitat. Baboons range from 50-60 cm in length. Male baboons are up to twice as large as females and often have long hair around the shoulders, which makes them look larger still. Baboons are ground-dwelling creatures and generally group in numbers ranging from 15 to 200 in size. Baboons prefer to live on rocky plains or in hilly regions, although they can also be found in sparse forests. They usually feed during the day, although they have been known to raid farms at night.

    http://www.primates.com/primate/cercopithecidae.html
    
    Extractions: from Animal Diversity Web The family Cercopithecidae includes 18 genera and 81 species. These monkeys are widely distributed in the Old World from southern Europe (Gibraltar) into NW Africa; throughout Africa south of the Sahara; and through central and SE Asia, including southern China and most of Japan. Some cercopithecids show greater tolerance for cold than any other non-human primates; one macaque inhabits the cold and snowy regions of northern Japan. The earliest records of cercopithecids are from the Oligocene of Egypt. All fossil records are from the Old World, matching the distribution of modern species. Some extinct species were huge; one nearly reached the size (but not the robustness) of a gorilla. Cranially, cercopithecids have a robust and heavily ridged skull compared to cebids, and the rostrum of some species (baboons) is rather long. The palate is long and concave, extending beyond last molar. The bullae are small but a bony eustachian tube is present (formed from the ectotympanic). The dental formula is 2/2, 1/1, 2/2, 3/3 = 32. The medial incisors are often broad and spoon-shaped; the upper canines are usually large and separated from incisors by a small diastema; the first lower premolar is enlarged and its edge shears against the sharp posterior edge of upper canine; the molars quadrate and bilophodont. On the lower molars, a hypoconulid is present.

    Extractions: Complete our guestbook form if you wish to be notified of the new edition. Transportation of primates I. Espie The transportation requirements of simian primates are sufficiently similar for them to be discussed as a group. The group includes the vervet monkey Cercopithecus aethiops , the samango monkey Cercopithecus mitis , the chacma baboon Papio ursinus , and the yellow baboon Papio cynocephalus . These are the simian primates occurring in the southern parts of Africa. The principles discussed can be applied to all small to medium-sized primates. Baboons and monkeys... •Are aggressive and strong, and are potentially dangerous. •Are intelligent and good at escaping. •When stressed, can inflict serious wounds on each other even if they appear to be compatible or belong in the same troop. Precautions •Each adult animal must be transported in its own cage.

    Extractions: noncommercial purposes within a subscribed institution . No copies of this work may be distributed electronically outside of the subscribed institution, in whole or in part, without written permission from the JHU Press Geographic Distribution This family of 19 genera and as many as 94 species is found in Africa (and, possibly through introduction, in Gibraltar in extreme southern Spain), the southwestern part of the Arabian Peninsula, south-central and southeastern Asia, Japan, and the East Indies as far as Sulawesi and Timor. The sequence of genera presented here follows largely that of Hershkovitz 1977), who divided the Cercopithecidae into two subfamilies: Cercopithecinae, with the genera Miopithecus, Cercopithecus, Erythrocebus, Allenopithecus, Cercocebus, Macaca, Papio, Mandrillus, and Theropithecus; and Colobinae, with Presbytis, Semnopithecus, Trachypithecus, Pygathrix, Rhinopithecus, Nasalis, Simias, Colobus, Piliocolobus, and Procolobus. Variations of this sequence, but with the same basic subfamilial divisions, were given by Thorington and Groves 1970) and Dandelot ( in Meester and Setzer Hill 1970), however, placed the genera

    Extractions: Primates SNPRC is home to the world's largest baboon colony , presently comprising about 3,700 animals. Most of the baboons at the facility are olive baboons (Papio hamadryas anubis), but there are also some hamadryas baboons (Papio hamadryas hamadryas), red baboons (Papio hamadryas papio) and yellow baboons (Papio hamadryas cynocephalus). SNPRC also has a pedigreed baboon colony of about 700 individuals, whose family ancestral lines are well-documented. These baboons live in groups with 15-30 females, their infants, and one male so that the sire is known. Infant baboons are black when they are born, turning the brownish color of the adults when they are about 6 months old. Male and female baboons are very protective of youngsters in their group, and females are especially eager to touch newborn infants. They may follow the mother and groom her to get a chance to touch the infant. At the other end of the age spectrum is our Pedigreed Geriatric Baboon Colony. This colony contains around 300 animals, all greater than 16 years of age. Of these, over 240 have been genotyped for the 330 microsatellite markers used in our gene mapping studies; eventually, all the animals will be genotyped. These animals are a unique and precious resource for investigating genetic contributions to the physiology of aging, including understanding of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and menopause.
