Welcome to primate world!
Here will be posted one primate per day, at minimum a picture (with source/credit ofc) but if I'm feeling up to it I may include additional info / resources / fun facts / etc
I'm just a guy in college (you may call me Dingo, he/it pronouns) studying anthropology
Requests welcome but be patient
Pfp is from Center For Great Apes, a sanctuary in Florida for orangutans and chimps rescued/retired from the entertainment industry, research, or the pet trade - they post a lot of fun photos if you are hungry for more
Banner is from GRACE Gorilla Cam, a livestream from the GRACE gorilla sanctuary in the DRC which works with local communities to rewild gorillas and protect forest habitat
Keep some monkey love in your heart for the primates of the world, including humans!
Disclaimer 1: I KNOW NOT ALL PRIMATES ARE MONKEYS. If I refer to them as such ("wet monkey wednesday" etc) it's just for fun. This is tumblr
Disclaimer 2: Outside of the categorization of what is or is not a primate and subcategories like "ape" or "lemur" there will be very little taxonomy on this blog. I am personally more interested in common names / culturally specific names and geographic regions than scientific names. If this style of organization becomes a problem I'll change it lmao
