Auto-mutilation in animals and its relevance to self-injury in man

Self-mutilation in non-human mammals is a well-established, although not a widely known phenomenon, which has been reported under zoo and laboratory conditions. In macaque monkeys, laboratory rearing and isolation are important predisposing factors, and the more serious self-injury is initiated...

Some effects of living conditions upon the pattern of growth in stumptail macaque (Macaca arctoides)

Confinement and prolonged lack of physical exercise are very probably responsible for the reduced weight and size of our monkeys bred in laboratory conditions. ... This is apparently due to the impaired development and resulting athrophy of the muscles, particularly...
