Breeding structures among nonhuman primates vary a great deal between species. However, monogamous pairs are not seen often. Some family groups may start with a monogamous pair, but this arrangement usually drops quickly when other members are added to the family.
No, dogs are not primates. Dogs belong to the mammalian family Canidae, while primates belong to the order Primates, which includes humans, apes, monkeys, and lemurs.
No, elephants are not primates. They belong to the family Elephantidae in the order Proboscidea, which is separate from the order Primates that includes apes, monkeys, and humans. Elephants are large mammals known for their long trunks and tusks.
No, lions are not primates; they are members of the Felidae family, which includes all cats. Primates are a separate order of mammals that includes humans, monkeys, and apes. Lions are classified as carnivorous mammals, specifically within the category of big cats. Their biological and behavioral characteristics differ significantly from those of primates.
Primates.
Primates are characterised by large brains relative to other mammals. Their eyes face forward, giving them stereoscopic vision and vision is the sense they rely on most rather than smell like other mammals. Most primates with a few exceptions have opposable thumbs and have developed adaptations to climb trees. Primate babies take a long time to mature because of their brain size, relative to non-primates. Non-human primates have oestrus cycles and many species display swellings during their fertile period.

They aren't all non-human because humans are primates. Other primates include monkeys and chimpanzees and orangutans and gorillas, which are non-humans because they're not human.

the skeletal structure is almost identical a ape such as a gorila. and the dna is 98 to 99%the same to apes. humans are not like primates they are primates.
A well-developed cerebrum is the structure in primates that enables them to develop complex social systems. Cerebrum is Latin for brain.

There are strict laws relating to the ownership of exotic animals throughout Australia.
No, dolphins are smarter, but it depends on the species. For example, bottlenose dolphins scored the highest on the EQ test of all nonhuman animals, even higher than chimpanzees, which were use to be thought as the second smartest animal.
