Round 0.5

I hate it when people say certain animals are “useless”. “We would lose NOTHING of ecological significance if we lost pandas” say that in any of the classes I took in vet school and my teachers would have made you sit on the corner with a dunce cap on. First of all, that’s untrue on every single level. All living organisms play a part in their ecosystem. When they die out, it WILL become unbalanced, no matter how “little” they seem to be doing. “Oh but giant pandas don’t hunt much so it’s not like it’d be a killing all wolves and getting too many deer situation” OK but what about the parasites they harbor? What about the vegetation they trample? What about their predators (which yes, they do have)?

And I mean, sure, if an animal is so specialized they can no longer thrive in a changing environment, they tend to go extinct. But that’s not what happening to pandas! They’re endangered for the same reason most endangered species became so after the rise of civilization: because of human activity. More specifically, they’re endangered due to habitat loss. The bamboo forests they lived in were cut down significantly in the past in order to make room for expanding human settlements and agriculture. I really dislike how the average person’s idea of why pandas are endangered is “oh it’s because they only eat bamboo and don’t want to reproduce”. It’s like, is it an animal’s fault it became endangered because they’ve evolved to have hyperspecific diets? Is it their fault they’ve evolved to be solitary and it’s difficult to replicate the conditions in which it reproduces in captivity? Or does it have anything to do with the fact that we humans as a whole didn’t see the harm in encroaching more and more upon this animal’s habitat and didn’t notice the impact our activity had on wildlife until very recently? The first wildlife conservation multilateral treaty was only signed and started being enforced in 1975! You would have been able to listen to Hooked on a Feeling by Blue Suede on the radio for a full year before we started regarding certain species as endangered.

I mean, I get why people get miffed over the protection offered to pandas that’s not offered to other, “less charismatic” endangered species. It hurts my heart every time I remember people don’t pay attention to buffy-tufted marmosets over other kinds of endangered monkeys because they look “too mean” (as if their little grumpy faces weren’t their number one charm point):

But just because I wish people paid more attention to buffy-tufted marmosets it doesn’t mean I want them to stop paying attention to other endangered animals and let them go extinct? What sort of weird logic is that? You want an entire species to go extinct out of spite???

Buffy-tufted-ear Marmoset Callithrix aurita — Palm Oil Detectives

These enchanting and charismatic tiny monkeys have a distinct “gothic” appearance. They live deep in the forests of a tiny area of Brazil. Buffy-…Buffy-tufted-ear Marmoset Callithrix aurita — Palm Oil Detectives

Look at these grompy fellas! I feel like they'd do numbers on tumblr.com

Buffy was mid-convo with Willow when POP! (a warlock magically yanked her to England).

Willow (retrieving Buffy): I've been trying to get a lock on your astral signature, but I accidentally teleported a Norwegian truck driver and two marmosets before I finally found you.

The Battle to Save the Buffy Tufted Marmoset of Brazil

The buffy tufted marmoset is listed amongst the top 25 most endangered primate species in the world by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) due to the dizzying array of threats it faces in the wild. Non-profit the Mountain Marmoset Conservation Program is fighting hard to bring this charismatic species back from the brink of extinction.

I don't understand why the buffy-tufted-ear marmoset looks like he is about to commit a murder

[crtter]

A fun fact about urban marmosets is that they’re almost all hybrids! They can be a mix of anything between black tufted marmosets, common marmosets and buffy tufted marmosets.

Common marmosets and black tufted marmosets aren’t native to southeast Brazil (which is where I live) but they were brought here as pets and the escaped ones started reproducing with the native buffy tufted marmosets. And that’s why we have them in cities now. Just hanging out on power lines.

If anyone's curious , the pic is of the Metepec Creature. Basically it was an “alien” caught in a rat trap. But obviously it was proved to be a hoax. The creature is acutely a Buffy Tufted Marmoset.

This is what the creature looked like.

And this is what a Buffy Tufted Marmoset looks like.

Also the funny thing is that supposedly they send it to five labs and they couldn’t find out what it is. It wasn’t until they made a 3D model of it and one of the scientists looked at the teeth and discovered it was just a new world monkey.

Common Marmoset — sometimes called, White-eared Marmoset * The common marmoset is widespread and common in northeastern Brazil because of its adaptability to different habitats. Unfortunately, in some areas of its distribution, populations of the common marmoset are showing signs of decline due to habitat destruction. * Habitat destruction is the primary cause of extinction or threat of extinction for all animals. Captive studies have taught scientists a great deal about the behavior and biology of the common marmoset. This information has been applied towards the protection as well as the captive and wild breeding of other closely related primates. * Roughly 23% of the callitrichids have a threatened conservation status. Examples include: * Black-faced lion tamarin (Leontopithecus caissara): critically endangered * Golden lion tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia): critically endangered * Cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus): endangered * Buffy-headed marmoset (Callithrix flaviceps): endangered * Buffy tuft-eared marmoset (Callithrix aurita): endangered * Geoffroy's tuft-eared marmoset (Callithrix geoffroyi): vulnerable * Black-headed marmoset (Callithrix nigriceps): vulnerable * An example of how the common marmoset has served as a model to help with the conservation of other primates is its use in the development of the embryo flush at the Wisconsin Primate Research Center in 1996. This is a noninvasive technique designed to assist in breeding of wild and captive primates. . . #wildlife #nature #torontozoo #wildlifelover #toronto #torontoontario #gf_wildlife #cute #chooselife #animals #animalwelfare #instafollow #wild #respectlife #animalrights #beautiful #life #monkey #beauty #commonmarmoset #whiteearedmarmoset #newworldmonkey #tamarin #primates #brazil http://ift.tt/2zP2PL7
