Training as a tool for routine collection of blood from a black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis)

Training procedure is outlined step-by-step. The rhino exhibited almost no reaction during the initial blood draw and continues to fully cooperate with the procedure. She has become so comfortable with the procedure that she will tolerate observers and cameras as...

Crate conditioning of bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus) for veterinary and husbandry procedures at the Denver Zoological Gardens

The main objective of this project was to condition [successfully!] bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus) to confinement in a handling crate to provide a nonstressful means of performing veterinary and husbandry procedures without immobilization. Such procedures included blood sampling, caudal tail fold...

Reconciliation in the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta)

Theory predicts that it should often be in the best interests of gregarious animals to repair social bonds damaged by within-group conflict. Indeed, reconciliation in many primates takes the form of affiliative behavior occurring shortly after a conflict. Here we...

Conflict resolution following aggression in gregarious animals: a predictive framework

Knowledge of how animals manage their conflicts is critical for understanding the dynamics of social systems. During the last two decades research on gregarious animals, especially primates, has focused on the mechanisms of conflict management, mainly on friendly postconflict reunions...
