  • Woolly Monkeys
    Woolly Monkeys What is a Woolly Monkey? The woolly monkey (lagothrix lagothricha) is one of the largest and most beautiful of the South American primates. They live in the middle and upper Amazon basin to the west of the rivers Negro and Tapajos. There are four recognised species of woolly monkey. These are mountain or long-haired woolly monkey (lagothrix lagothricha lugens), the brown woolly monkey (lagothrix lagothricha poepiggii), the grey woolly monkey (lagothrix lagothricha cana) and the brown-headed woolly monkey (lagothrix lagothricha lagothricha). These are by no means distinct and there is also some variation within each; two members of different species can breed, although the various types are found in different areas of the Amazon so in the wild this is unlikely to occur. Of the eight founder members of the Sanctuary, six were grey, one brown headed and one long-haired. Woolly monkeys are arboreal (meaning tree-dwelling), spending most of their time high in the canopy of the trees and rarely venturing to the forest floor. They have evolved in a way which enables them to exploit this tree-top niche, to travel easily along narrow limbs, to reach nuts, seedpods and fruits at the end of branches, to leap between gaps safely and even to sleep securely 150 feet above the ground. The most striking adaptation of a woolly monkey is the prehensile tail, which acts as a powerful fifth limb. It is easily capable of supporting the full weight of a monkey as it hangs from a branch, freeing the hands and feet for other uses, such as collecting food.

    THE VIVISECTION CONTROVERSY IN AMERICA CLAUDIA ALONSO RECARTE Friends of Thoreau Environmental Program Franklin Institute, University of Alcalá Guiding Students’ Discussion Scholars Debate Works Cited Links to Online Sources Acknowledgements & Illustration Credits MAIN PAGE Rabbit being used for experimental purposes. Courtesy of the New England Anti-Vivisection Society (NEAVS). MAIN PAGE 1. Introduction and Note on the Text Vivisection and animal experimentation constitute one of the institutionalized pillars of animal exploitation, and they bear a long history of political, ethical and social 1 controversies. Vivisection must not be considered as solely the moment in which an animal’s body is cut into; as will soon become evident, vivisection and animal experimentation include a whole array of procedures that are not limited to the act of severing (see Item 2 of the MAIN PAGE, hereinafter referred to as the MP), and should as well include as part of their signification the previous and subsequent conditions to the procedures in which the animals are in. It is quite difficult to ascertain the number of nonhuman others that are annually used in the United States for scientific and educational purposes, mainly due to the neglect in recording information regarding invertebrate specimens. According to the Last Chance for Animals website, the US Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service reported that in the year 2009 1.13 million animals were used in experiments. These numbers did not include rats, mice, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and agricultural animals used for agricultural experiments. To this, an estimate of 100 million rats and mice were added.

    ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ New Journeys¬ To the West¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ Editor’s Note:¬ ¬ To preserve the youthful spirit and energy of the writings of the students of Korean International School, the editors have decided to leave some of the grammatical errors and idiosyncrasies from our young writers intact. ¬ 2 Foreward¬ The KIS Writers Award was the first whole-school writing competition at our school. From the start, our teachers, students, and parents have supported the competition and worked tirelessly for them. We have had entries from the whole range of our student population from Year 1 up to Year 13. Entries span different categories, from reports to stories to poems. We have even had a separate class for ESL students! The English Committee have received more than a hundred written entries, but have shortlisted the best 60 in this book. Reading through the numerous entries was an immense task for our panel of judges.
