Animal Behavior Learning Activities (to be submitted)

Go to a zoo and observe the behavior of any non-human primate for two hours recording whether each action is social, maintenance, agonistic, reproductive, stress, displacement reaction to enrichment activity, intra specific relationships (including visitors) and spatial occupation within the enclosure. Comment on any activity you feel a keeper should be especially aware of. Keep a record of the duration of each activity. Design a check list so you can use a shorthand method of recording the various behaviors being sure to record the legend so others know what your shorthand notes mean.

Although there is no substitute for viewing live animals in their natural environment below are are a list of links to a growing number of web sites which feature live video cameras showing various animals. This is just a small sampling of animal cams available on the Net. If a cam is not working - just try another one.
