Which of the following are in the order Primates? (Multiple answers)

Tarsians

Lemurs

Gorillas

Lorises

Solution

Answer: All the mentioned (Tarsians, Lemurs, Gorillas & Lorises) animals come under the order primates.

The primates include the most familiar of the placental mammals, as the order includes Homo sapiens. Primates also include familiar animals, such as the chimpanzees, gorillas, and monkeys, as well as the somewhat less familiar lemurs, lorises.

Some researchers prefer an alternate classification that divides the primates into 2 suborders: Prosimii (lemurs, lorises, and tarsiers) and Anthropoidea (monkeys, apes, and humans).
