The UFAW Handbook on the Care and Management of Laboratory Animals (4th ed): Primates – General

The higher primates, such as chimpanzees and baboons, are intelligent and sensitive. If handled with sympathy and understanding they can become more than research tools - even co-operative partners in experimentation. To achieve this, a little time, often time well...

Enrichment and occupational devices for orangutans and chimpanzees

A heavy metal cylinder, 60 cm long and 45 cm in diameter, was capped on each end and bolted to a platform. Three 8 cm holes in the cylinder allowed access to the inside. A short section of a rubber...

The Stanford outdoor primate facility

Various inanimate enrichment options for outdoor-housed chimpanzees are described. An adolescent male chimpanzee cooperated in venipuncture; research assistants draw a 10-ml sample of blood while the animal sucks apple juice from a plastic bottle.

Reconciliation and consolation among chimpanzees

After agonistic interactions among chimpanzees, former opponents often come into non-violent body contact. The present paper gives a quantitative description of such contacts among the chimpanzees of a large semi-free-living colony at the Arnhem Zoo, in order to establish whether...

Behavioral effects of a change in the physical environment: a pilot study of captive chimpanzees

A group of chimpanzees was translocated from a laboratory environment to a naturalistic man-made island. Stereotyped and self-directed behaviors were dramatically reduced on the island. There were also increases in social play and social grooming. The animals showed a preference...

A vocabulary of abnormal behaviors in restrictively reared chimpanzees

Behavioral disorders of chimpanzees are listed and clearly described. Even relatively complex laboratory environments, in the absence of opportunity for interaction with conspecifics, disrupt and seriously damage psychological processes in the chimpanzee. ..Chimpanzees that exhibit the more severe behavioral pathologies...
