Baboon Ecology – African Field Research

Excellent overview of the species-typical behavior of wild baboons. At night, the baboons that we observed in Amboseli slept only in trees. In the Serengeti plains, on the other hand, baboons were observed on a kopje (rocky outcropping). ... The...

Proposed procedure for the housing and handling of simians to decrease the transmission of disease to man

In general, simians should be handled only after they have been anaesthetized or suitably sedated. On no account should a person attempt to handle a simian alone; 2 persons should always be present, one of whom is an experienced handler....

Abnormal behavior in primates

Low levels of stimulation, lack of space, presence of human observers, and absence of friendly ties between animals are conditions conducive for the development of behavioral disorders. Subtle but sometimes severe behavioral abnormalities arise during and following manipulation of social...

Chimpanzees: Self-recognition

After prolonged exposure to their reflected images in mirrors, chimpanzees marked with red dye showed evidence of being able to recognize their own reflections. Monkeys did not appear to have this capacity.
