“…Of particular importance, none of the neurotic rocking, jerking, and other excessive self stimulation methods often observed in captivity (COOPER ~r MARKOWITZ, 1979;DAVENPORT & ROGERS, 1970;NADLER & BRAGGIO, 1974;ROGERS & DAVENPORT, 1969) were seen in our group.…”

“…SAVAGE and MALICK (1977) found that the quality of play and grooming in a group of adolescents and one infant closely resembled behavior seen in the wild. Other similarities between wild and captive chimpanzees have been reported: qualitative descriptions of social displays (REYNOLDS & LUSCOMBE, 1976); sleeping patterns (RISS & GOODALL, 1976); and play in very young infants (NADLER & BRAGGIO, 1974).…”

Social behavior in a captive chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) group

1980

ABSTRACT. A group of captive chimpanzees, consisting of one adult male and three mother/infant pairs, was systematically observed over a 15-month period. Over 200 hr of data were collected, using both sequential and time sampling techniques, and compared to the available data on wild chimps. Unlike many captive groups, most behavior patterns were remarkably similar, both qualitatively and quantitatively, to that of wild chimpanzees including: play, grooming, infant sexual development, tool use, food sharing, prosocial partner preferences, and aggressive displays.

“…Orangutans, however, are well known for deliberate and cautious terrestrial locomotion. Differences in the terrestrial play behaviors of juvenile orangutans and chimpanzees have been reported previously (Nadler & Braggio, 1974;. Young orangutans may be less cautious, and hence, perhaps more active in their play when compared to adult orangutans, leading to the interpretation of the former's style of play as being roughand-tumble.…”

“…The development of social play in young great apes has been described for both feral and captive animals (gorillas: Fossey, 1979;Hoff et al, 1981;Schaller, 1963; chimpanzees: Goodall, 1968;King et al, 1980; Savage & Malick, 1977; orangutans: Maple & Zucker, 1978;Nadler & Braggio, 1974;Rijksen, 1978;Edwards & Snowdon, This research was supported, in part, by NIH Grants RR00165 to the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center of Emory University, and HD00208 to Emory University's Experimental Psychology Program. The authors gratefully thank the administrations of the YRPRC and the Atlanta Zoological Park, and the staffs of the YRPRC large animal wing and the Zoo's Primate House for their cooperation and assistance in conducting the work described herein.…”

The social play of 6 adult orangutan heterosexual dyads was observed, and the frequencies of the component behaviors extracted. Frequencies were converted to proportions of total play outputs for each individual and for each age/sex class, and then compared to the proportions observed for the social play of juvenile and adolescent orangutans. Adult play was more stationary, and contact maintaining, in style than was the play of younger orangutans. For the females, rolling and grabbing comprised similar proportions of the play repertoires, whereas for males, slapping and biting were developmentally consistent. For adult males, little chasing was observed, although this behavior was prominant in the play of immature males. These developmental changes in orangutan social play are addressed with respect to the natural history and ecology of orangutans, the refinement of communication skills, and the influences of captivity on social play.

“…In the available studies ortly a few individual subjects have been used (BRAC6~O et al, 1978;NADLER & BRAGGIO, 1974). Some other authors mention sex differences in some aspects of behaviour (e.g., FREEMAN & ALCOCK, 1973).…”

Sex differences in the behaviour of immature captive lowland gorillas

ABSTRACT. Studies of the behaviour of 26 (12 males and 14 females) captive infant and juvenile lowland gorillas showed clear sex differences. Females showed greater interest in young infants and were more active in nest building as well as in solitary and social grooming. Males were more active in locomotive, dominance, and aggressive behaviour and in social play. Hand-rearing further increased aggression. Males were more aggressive when they lived with only one partner, and they rose in rank even above older females, a pattern that has not been observed in naturally reared gorillas.
