New World Monkeys (Primates) - PREVIEW

Purchase: http://www.der.org/films/new-world-monkeys.html This program is designed to introduce Primatology students to the range of monkeys of the Super family Ceboidea originating from Central and South America. Material on twenty -two species is included, covering all five of the families recently defined by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. In this video we are provided with a wealth of information about size, habitat, range, sexual dimorphism, diet, and communication patterns of each species. This program is suitable for both introductory level and as a focus for discussion by more advanced students.

Excellent documentary preview. It is very fascinating and awe-inspiring seeing a New World monkey swing or hang by its tail!
