Use material in your classroom, online, or in books to find images and descriptions of two nonprimate mammals (such as dogs, horses, dolphins, or raccoons). What traits do these animals share with primates? What important primate traits do they lack?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Non-primate mammals (such as dogs, dolphins and raccoons) have some similar traits with primates (such as monkeys, humans and baboons). Some traits that these non-primate mammals share with primates include

1) They are warm-blooded just as the primates

2) They give birth to there young ones alive

3) There body system also permits complex forms of metabolism

And some of the traits that non-primate mammals lack that primate mammals have ar

1) They lack the ability to hold on to "materials" because of the morphology of there palm/hand/foot.

2) They do not have forward facing eyes which provides for enhanced vision in primates

3) Most primates can stand upright (via bipedalism) as against other nonprimate mammals
