Abstract

Overall, this program helps to reduce self-mutilation and vices associated with caging and by considering the monkey's natural instincts along with experimental requirements, benefits both the science and the monkey. ... The pools have been a tremendous success with the younger monkeys, who adapt easily to water and are instinctively good swimmers. They will swim under water with their eyes open looking for the raisins and playing with each other.
