(Q007) I am an adult female primate. I live in a territory with my offspring. My territory is separate from those of other females, so I don't see them often. An adult male has a territory that overlaps with mine, but we hardly ever spend time together. What type of social organization do I participate in?

Answer:

Solitary social organization.

Step-by-step explanation:

The most common animal that participates in this type of social organization is the orangutan, also some species of lemurs and tarsiers too.

In this organization, the females are in separate territories, and a male goes to these territories. This one has its territory, which also includes its females' space. It is a polygamous system with one male and various females.

They communicate through sounds and by smelling their partners, and they usually are awake during the night but asleep in trees during the day.
