Look at each of the thirteen primates (by scrolling over them, do not click on them) and determine the following. which is the largest? which is the smallest? how many have tails? which ones have the largest eyes relative to body size?

The eastern lowland gorilla is one of the largest primates out of the thirteen. This largest primate is the massive animal on the Earth. This Primate in the World Is about to be extinct. It has now been critically endangered or we can say that these are just a step away from extinction. This primate is about 6.6 feet and weighs up to 550 pounds in the wild. The species has been subdivided into two subspecies.

Berthe's mouse lemur (Microcebus berthae)  is the smallest primate of all the thirteen primates. Earlier, It was claimed that Philippines tarsiers are the smallest primate but it was proved wrong. There are only between 5,000 and 10,000 Philippine Tarsiers left in the entire world known after the survey and the estimation of these primates. The number of this species is going to get very low and be falling.

There are approximately 260 known living species of primates that are consists of the tails. Some of the species of tail having primates have the tails that are very small in size. Only Apes is the species of the primates that do not contain even a small tail. There are two monkey groups, the old-word, and new-world monkeys, and apes are more closely related to the old-world monkeys.

The colossal squid is a primate that has the largest eye of all animals in the whole world. The measurement of the eye was recorded in 1007 and it was concluded that it was even larger when the squid was alive. It has been measured that its eye is at about 11 inches (28 centimeters) across bigger than a dinner plate, making it the largest animal eye on Earth.

endocrine glands secrete hormones into the blood stream near them; the hormones then travel in our bloodstream until it reaches its destination, called a target cell, in distance parts of the body. in the target tissue, hormones lock onto the target’s plasma membrane, called the receptor site.
