Effects of cage-mounted enrichment on behavior of a group of juvenile baboons (Papio anubus) (2005)

Mikels, J., Wallis, J.

Abstract

The presence of activity boards significantly altered the social behaviour of this group of [juvenile] baboons, including decreasing their aggressive behaviors. In addition, repetitive, non-social behaviors showed a dramatic decrease when the activity boards were present. ... Results suggest that offering group-housed primates novel enrichment for a limited amount of time each day provides them with new activities and may help to reduce aggressive behavior.
