Primarily Primates

I spent Christmas in Portland, OR with family and friends, namely my sister, Betsy, my niece Alexis, her husband Matt, and their son Theo, along with my friend Jean.  My grand nephew Theo has picked up his mom's and my love of primates.  I spent a lot of time with him looking through a primate book.  It was amazing how quickly he picked up names of primates and the ability to identify them.  What about you?  Can you identify different primates just by looking at a picture?  Do you know the difference between an orangutan, chimpanzee, gorilla, lemur, baboon, tamarin, and squirrel monkey?

Here is the order of the above pictures:  lemur (ring-tailed), gorilla, squirrel monkey, orangutan, baboon (Hamadryas), chimpanzee, tamarin (golden lion).  How did you do?  Theo can also recognize different species of birds that come the feeder in his backyard.  Oh, and by the way, did I mention the age of my grand nephew?  Today is his SECOND birthday!!  Who knows what he'll be identifying next.  Happy Birthday, Theo!  And now a picture of the funniest primates of all - US!
