Primate

A primate (ⁱ/ˈpraɪmeɪt/ PRY-mayt) is a mammal of the order Primates (ⁱ/praɪˈmeɪtiːz/ pry-MAY-teez; Latin: "prime, first rank"). In taxonomy, primates include two distinct lineages, strepsirrhines and haplorhines. Primates arose from ancestors that lived in the trees of tropical forests; many primate characteristics represent adaptations to life in this challenging three-dimensional environment. Most primate species remain at least partly arboreal.

With the exception of humans, who inhabit every continent, most primates live in tropical or subtropical regions of the Americas, Africa and Asia. They range in size from Madame Berthe's mouse lemur, which weighs only 30 g (1 oz), to the eastern gorilla, weighing over 200 kg (440 lb). Based on fossil evidence, the earliest known true primates, represented by the genus Teilhardina, date to 55.8 million years old. An early close primate relative known from abundant remains is the Late Paleocene Plesiadapis, c. 55–58 million years old.Molecular clock studies suggest that the primate branch may be even older, originating near the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary or around 63–74 mya.

'Primate' is featured as a movie character in the following productions:

Primate: It's a sign.::Cardinal: A miracle.::Moderator: A winged messenger.::Gerry Ryan: It's a f***ing cockatoo!

Doctor: Forceps. Pliers. Bone nibblers.::Steve Meyers: Bone nibblers? What the hell are bone nibblers?::Doctor: You're a very lucky man.::Steve Meyers: Oh yes, it's been a brilliant day all round. Why don't you have a look at my prostate while you've got the bone nibblers handy.

Rabbi: [about his Christian counterparts] They're praying to God. They should be praying for better lawyers.

Steve Meyers: What do you think of a moral victory?::Anna Redmond: A moral victory sounds good.

Hatinggabi

tulungan mo akong limutin ka
Ako ba ang nagkamali
Ako ba ang nagkamali
At sa iyong paghimlay
buhay koy biglang tumamlay
lihim kong dinaramdam
ang iyong paglisan
bakas sa aking mata
kay rami ko pang hindi masabi
Ako ba ang nagkamali

Maari bang sabihin sayo
Yakapinyakapin mo ako
