All Primates (Prosimians, Monkeys and Apes)

Order: PRIMATES The primates are represented in Borneo by six familes including the Hominidae, the family of Man. All primates have hands and feet which can grasp, digits generally with nails rather than claws, and both eyes on the front of the face. The Lorisidae and Tarsiidae are strictly nocturnal. The monkeys (family Cercopithecidae) and apes (families Hylobatidae and Pongidae) are diurnal and, along with tree squirrels and treeshrews, are the only mammals active in trees during the daytime.
