Home›Mammals›Primate Species›All Primate SpeciesBrowse ByAll Primate SpeciesThis group gathers Mammals subcategory members belonging to the order Primates, defined by forward facing eyes giving strong depth perception, grasping hands and, in most species, feet adapted for climbing, and among the largest relative brain sizes of any mammalian order. It spans the great apes, including the gorilla, chimpanzee, bonobo and orangutan, the lesser apes, the gibbons and siamang, the Old World monkeys such as the macaques and baboons, the New World monkeys such as the howler and spider monkeys, and the more distantly related lemurs, lorises, galagos and tarsiers of Madagascar and tropical Asia and Africa. It also holds an extinct fossil hominin known only from bone, whose own sourced description places it among this subcategory's living species entries despite no longer being alive today.FactsAll Primate SpeciesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonTaxonomic Rank OrderWell-attested5 1Reproductive ModeWell-attestedViviparous (Live-Bearing) 2All Primate SpeciesFilter Results58 entriesCommon GroupAllPrimate Species (58)Everyday GroupAllPrimate Species (58)HabitatAllAlpine (1)Cloud Forest (1)Desert (1)Freshwater Swamp Forest (1)Grassland (1)Mangrove Forest (3)River (3)Savanna (4)Tropical Dry Forest (4)Tropical Rainforest (36)Xeric Shrubland (1)Where It LivesAllAfrica (16)Argentina (1)Asia (1)Bangladesh (1)Bolivia (1)Botswana (1)Brazil (8)Central America (1)China (2)Colombia (4)Cuba (1)Ecuador (2)Eswatini (1)Ethiopia (1)Greece (1)India (1)Lesotho (1)Malaysia (1)Mauritius (1)Mexico (1)Mozambique (1)Namibia (1)Norway (1)Palau (1)Peru (2)Philippines (1)South America (9)South Asia (28)Spain (1)Zimbabwe (1)Conservation StatusAllCritically Endangered (13)Data Deficient (1)Endangered (24)Extinct (1)Least Concern (8)Near Threatened (1)Not Evaluated (2)Vulnerable (5)DietAllFrugivore (19)Herbivore (15)Insectivore (1)Omnivore (15)System (Realm)AllFreshwater (2)Terrestrial (52)Living or ExtinctAllYes (58)ThreatsAllBiological Resource Use (3)Relationship to PeopleAllAgricultural or Structural Pest (6)Disease Vector (1)Ecotourism and Research (4)Hunted or Fished (23)Invasive or Introduced Species (2)Kept as Pets (16)Used in Traditional Medicine (4)CITES AppendixAllAppendix I (40)Appendix II (14)Not Listed (2)EcosystemAllAmazon Rainforest (3)Atlantic Forest (2)Borneo Rainforest (6)Cerrado (2)Congo Basin Rainforest (4)Madagascar Rainforests (3)Okavango Delta (1)Sahara Desert (1)Sumatran Lowland Rainforest (1)Western Ghats (1)TaxonomyAllAteles (1)Atelidae (3)Callithrix (1)Callitrichidae (2)Catarrhini (1)Cebidae (1)Cercopithecidae (11)Gorilla (1)Hominidae (8)Hoolock (3)Hylobates (9)Hylobatidae (1)Indriidae (2)Lemuridae (1)Nomascus (7)Nycticebus (1)Primates (3)Saguinus (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 50Agile GibbonMammalsAllen's Swamp MonkeyMammalsAnoiapithecusMammalsArdipithecus kadabbaMammalsAye-ayeMammalsBearded emperor tamarinMammalsBlack Crested GibbonMammalsBonoboMammalsBornean OrangutanMammalsBornean White-bearded GibbonMammalsCao Vit GibbonMammalsCapuchin MonkeyMammalsCentral Lar GibbonMammalsChimpanzeeMammalsColombian spider monkeyMammalsColombian woolly monkeyMammalsCommon MarmosetMammalsCoquerel's SifakaMammalsCrab-eating MacaqueMammalsEastern Grey GibbonMammalsEastern Hoolock GibbonMammalsEastern lowland gorillaMammalsEmperor tamarinMammalsGeladaMammalsGolden Lion TamarinMammalsHainan GibbonMammalsHamadryas BaboonMammalsHowler MonkeyMammalsIndriMammalsLar GibbonMammalsLesulaMammalsLion-tailed MacaqueMammalsMandrillMammalsMentawai GibbonMammalsMountain GorillaMammalsNorthern Buffed-cheeked GibbonMammalsNorthern White-cheeked GibbonMammalsOlive BaboonMammalsOuranopithecus macedoniensisMammalsPhilippine TarsierMammalsPileated GibbonMammalsProboscis MonkeyMammalsPygmy MarmosetMammalsRing-tailed LemurMammalsSiamangMammalsSilvery GibbonMammalsSkywalker Hoolock GibbonMammalsSlow Loris (Nycticebus)MammalsSouthern Grey GibbonMammalsSouthern White-cheeked GibbonMammals12Next →Sources1.
