1) The document summarizes information about a group project studying the White Faced Saki Monkey. It includes details about the monkey's physical characteristics, behaviors, habitats, and more. 2) The group observed different science aspects of the monkey including its physics, biology, and chemistry. They discussed the monkey's abilities, birth process, and lack of poison. 3) The group reflected on what they learned, with one member saying the zoo trip helped them better understand animals through first-hand experience rather than books.

3. Science Aspects ( Physics )
The White Faced Saki Monkey is able to run fast
-Capable of using it’s long tail to balance when
running
 The White Face Saki Monkey posses superior strength
-Their legs are much longer than their arms
-Their limbs are adapted for running, making long,

Extraordinary lengths /
mass / size or other
measurements White
Faced Saki Monkey has
-Long Tail

6. Gender Characteristics
- Males are larger and more colorful

oColor change over 3.5 to 4 years occurs, in which
male sakis become all black with bright white faces
- Female sakis have a shorter, brownish grey coat
with two vertical lines from their eyes to their nose.
- Average adult mass is 1.8 kg; however, a slight
sexual dimorphism separates males (2.38 kg) from
females (1.76 kg).

7. Chemistry Aspects
Are there any poisons/venoms in The
White Faced Saki Monkey?
- No poison in the body of White Face
Saki Money
Nycticebus Kayan ( See pic beind )
Its gland produces a poisonous secret,
combined with saliva which is toxic
( First found poisonous monkey )

9. Biology Aspects
Description of how White Faced Saki
Monkey is born.
- Juveniles may stay with their parents for up to a
year or two after the birth of the next infant.
- The breeding season in the wild is spring.
- Births in captivity have occurred throughout the
year.

10. The estrous cycle lasts 18 days, and gestation 170 days. A
single young is produced. Female white faced sakis have
one litter per year and each infant is born and cared for
by the mother.

11. -Long fingers and
long nails to help
them grip branches
-Sleep or curled up
in the trees in cold
weather
-Obtain larger
nutrition
Descriptions the of White
Faced Saki Monkey’s body
functions to enable it to survive
in the hot / cold.

12. Habitats of White Faced Saki Monkey .
-Found in Northern and Central South America
from Colombia to Peru and even into Bolivia
and Brazil.
-Tropical
-Terrestrial

14. Two characteristics we choose to describe White
Faces Saki Monkey and our explanation
 Agile
-They are able to leap through
the trees quickly
-The nickname “ Flying Monkey “
is given because of their
wonderful agility.
FLYING is usually known to be
fast and rapid.
-Hence, their speed is as fast as
a bird and they are agile

15. They are
cautious too!
They do not
come down from
the trees, this
shows that their
chances of
meeting with
predator like
lions and tigers
are high
Even if they
were to land,
they will observe
before landing

16. NATIONAL EDUCATION ASPECTS

17. What does it mean to be housed in
Singapore? a)Globalization:
-A baby white-faced saki monkey was born
on December 26th at Como Zoo to Patty
(Age 6), on loan from the Cleveland Zoo, and
Milton (Age 4), on loan from the Pittsburgh
Zoo.
-White-faced saki monkeys originate in
Brazil, Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and
Venezuela.
- Loans with agreements
- Feelings of the animals? Feelings
of White Faced Saki Monkey? We
missed out.

18. b) Commitment and
responsibility
Survival is tough
for them in the wild
because of:
-Deforestation
-Being hunted for
their skin
-Illegal pet trade

19. Our ACTIONS
- We are to create
habitats in existing
national parks
- To breed endangered
species in capacity in
places such as zoos
and animal parks
- Warn against human behaviors,
such as the accidental starting
of the forest fire

20. The ways that they use to
protect itself are:
- Usig high pitched cries and
twitters that are specific to
their federation to warn one
another of incoming threats
-Their strong hind legs
allowing them to make far jumps
to escape
(A jump can reach a length of
Communicating using
high pitch in long
distance

3) How active are the white faced saki monkey could be?
They are free to roam and may be foraging high up in the trees.
4) Where are the habitats of the white faced saki monkeys?
The rainforests of the lower Amazon Basin,South America.
5) What are the special name of the white faced saki monkey and
explain?
‘Flying monkey’ because of the way it leaps in trees .

22. Group Reflection
This is the first time I have ever felt the nature with my full
heart. And that the zoo learning journey is meaningful. We
were later assigned to do this project after the visit which led
me to learn ways to clarify doubts in order to finish and do
well in this PowerPoint. – Chan Fei
I felt that it is meaningful. I can learn things with first-hand
experience. I smell the pungent smell of animal and know how
the animal looks like. Learning these will be more effective
than books and internet. – Chi Loon

23. Personally, I felt that the learning journey was rather
beneficial for our learning experience as each of us got to
experience how to handle different jobs assigned to us.
Also we get to see different aspects in different things.
-Zane
During the zoo trip I had fun and we had wonderful
moments with the animals there. -Wai Qun
I have learnt the characteristics of the White Faced
Saki Monkey and how different they are from other
monkeys. – Sheila
