Some effects of limited exercise on purpose-bred Beagles

Dogs had little inclination to exercise when released alone into the [unstructured] exercise area. Regardless of the size of the [barren] cage, dogs did not exercise unless human beings were present in the room.

Effects of different environmental enrichment devices on cage stereotypies and autoaggression in captive cynomolgus monkeys

Autoaggression and stereotypies in individually housed cynomolgus monkeys were compared in a standard primate cage and an enriched playpen environment. Stereotypy and autoaggression were markedly reduced in the playpen, but reappeared on return to the home cage. Some of the...

The successful introduction of five male lion-tailed macaques (Macaca silenus) at Woodland Park Zoo

Male lion-tailed macaques (Macaca silenus) are notoriously aggressive and thus, few attempts have been made to house them together as adults. At Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle we had five surplus males with which we were able to successfully form...

Food distribution, dominance, and aggressive behaviours in bonnet macaques

Dispersing the food throughout the enclosure, rather than distributing it in one location, resulted in a decrease in agonistic interactions.

The use of videotapes as enrichment for singly housed chimpanzees

Each of six adult group-housed chimpanzees was placed in a single cage for 20-minute sessions during which a variety of videotapes were shown. The chimpanzees' response varied according to individuals and content of tape.
