The
Ethnograpy of Lewis and Clark
As the caretaker of the only
remaining Native American artifacts from the Lewis and Clark
expedition, the Peabody Museum launched seeral research projects,
took part in collaborative projects, and developed a new exhibit
highlighting the Lewis and Clark Collection. Many of these
projects represent partnerships with other institutions and
with Native American peoples.

Swan
Identification
There are three species of swans in
North America. The Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator) and
Tundra Swan (C. columbianus) are indigenous, while the Mute
Swan (Cygnus olor) is a Eurasian species that has been introduced
and now breeds in the wild in some areas. All three are very
large all-white birds.

Is
an ape a monkey? And what about a lemur? Although often called
monkeys, apes and lemurs are not monkeys. Apes are larger
and more intelligent than monkeys, with arms longer than their
legs. Most monkeys have tails, but apes never do. Lemurs have
arms shorter than their legs, and whiskers and long, pointy
noses. But all (along with humans) belong to the order Primates.

Duke
University Primate Center
Duke University Primate Center is home
to approximately 300 prosimian primates, also known as lemurs.
Mouse over the menu to see photos of seventeen species of
lemurs. Just looking at the pictures is fun, and young animal
lovers will love this. Click on any species name (such as
Bushbaby) to learn more. Visit the Kids Corner for interactive
games including a word search, maze, coloring pages and two
lemur jigsaw puzzles.

How
Stuff Works: Is there a difference between monkeys and apes?
Is there a difference between monkeys
and apes? Yes, and this one page articles explains how monkeys
and apes are related, and how they differ. It's a good introduction
to the scientific classification of orders, suborders, and
species. "The 235 modern primate species are divided
up into two suborders -- the prosimians and the anthropoids."
There are some interesting links at the bottom of the page,
and a printable version with less advertising.
