Abstract
Changes in behavior of 5 adult chimpanzees that coincided with transfer to a larger, complex environment are described. The percentage of time spent traveling nearly doubled in the larger enclosure. The animals used all structures and all areas in the facility, especially elevated structures and the outdoor enclosure.
