Although baboons, like other primates, demonstrate a keen social knowledge,they're ignorant about much else, including matters of survival.

document.write(''); National Zoo: Great Ape House Republic of Botswana Monkey Wrench An American couple's ingenious research challenges the popular notion that baboons and other monkeys are almost human In recent years, the idea that monkeys and apes are almost human has gained currency not only in Hollywood but among wildlife researchers as well. Dorothy Cheney and Robert Seyfarth take the opposite view. Their experiments with vervet monkeys and baboons have sometimes revealed extraordinary richness in the monkey mind, but more often, Cheney and Seyfarth have discovered severe limitations on intelligence and communication in monkeys. Although baboons, like other primates, demonstrate a keen social knowledge, they're ignorant about much else, including matters of survival. The husband and wife team, who teach at the University of Pennsylvania, spend their summers in the wilds of Botswana's Okavango Delta. Their technique is to record a baboon's calls and then play them back to see how other baboons react. The animals' unresponsiveness in certain situations indicates they do not realize they could use vocalizations to inform or influence companions. The researchers have concluded that baboons do not recognize that other baboons have minds. "They're not furry little humans," Seyfarth says. "They're just monkeys."

As the number of people surpasses 6 billion, and the planet suffers from the effects of our extreme overpopulation, the very survival of other primate species is threatened due to habitat loss and human predation. Nearly half of all primates are endangered species according to the World Conservation Union, and some experts predict that many of the world's primate species will go extinct within the next 10 to 20 years. Just what are we losing when we allow primates to go extinct? Our relatives! We humans are primates, and share 98.4 percent of our gene pool with chimpanzees! There are

P RIMATES NIGHT APE
Similar to the bush baby but smaller in body size, more triangular face with huge big eyes, and a long thin tail with a fluffy end. They are arboreal and strictly nocturnal occurring in a variety of woodland types, especially A cacia , eating mainly insects and fruit. MONKEY
BUSH BABY
Called so because of its loud wailing scream, the bushbaby is an elusive tree creature, usually only spotted on night drives and then only its red eyes can be seen high up in the trees. They spend their days in hollow trees and forage among the treetops at night for insects and fruit. Very agile in trees but awkward on the ground, hopping in a frog like fashion. They are usually solitary, but may group together to form small and temporary communities
The lesser galago, also called bush baby, is one of the smallest primates, about the size of a squirrel. Despite its size, it is exceptionally vocal, producing loud, shrill cries surprisingly like those of a human baby. The plaintive cries and "cute" appearance may account for the name "bush baby." It and its larger cousin, the greater galago Bush babies have large, round eyes for good night vision and batlike ears that enable them to track insect prey in the dark. Fast, agile and accurate, they catch some insects on the ground and snatch others from the air. As they jump through thorn bush or thick growth, they fold their delicate ears flat against their heads to protect them. They fold them during rest, too.

Old World Monkeys
T he Old World monkeys occupy a wide variety of environments in South and East Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and even Gibraltar at the southern tip of Spain. Some species inhabit tropical forests, while others live on arid grasslands and even mountainous areas with heavy winter snows.
Natural range of Old World monkeys T here are at least 78 species of Old World monkeys in two subfamilies-the Cercopithecinae and the Colobinae Monkeys in both groups are relatively large, being about the size of small to medium-sized dogs. M ost Old World monkeys are cercopithecines . Included in this subfamily are the baboons , mangabeys , mandrills , guenons , patas monkeys , and macaques . These are all African species with the exception of the macaques which also live in Asia and Gibraltar. Japanese macaque (left) and
African patas monkey (right) M any species of the Cercopithecinae subfamily sleep in trees or on cliff faces and spend their days in large groups foraging for food on grasslands. Perhaps, the most familiar of these semi-terrestrial monkeys are the African baboons.

Background
WAG and SAAV uncovered that they are initially planning to bring in 300 wild-caught baboons from Kenya but the figure could be as high as 1000. It is also an expensive undertaking - The use and confinement of primates in laboratories for the purpose of research is not only scientifically questionable but animal experiments, like slavery, is a fundamental underpinning of societal injustice. Using and breeding primates for research is at the very least controversial and at odds with the increasing world-wide recognition that primates are sentient beings that display high level of intelligence, have complex social, emotional and family lives and are capable of suffering.
Animal experimentation: A secret and unaccountable industry
It is hard to find another industry that generates such public concern, and yet is so manifestly unaccountable and untransparent . Information relating to animal experimentation is deliberately kept among the vested interest groups and behind closed doors. Existing animal ethics committees are structurally deficient, provide inadequate protection for animals and fail to critically review research hypotheses or methodologies. It is a self-policing, self-perpetuating, peer review system where accountability is to one's close colleagues. In essence, they are a rubber-stamp and deprive the public of any meaningful participation in a process which is largely funded at public expense.

Macaques and baboons are among the most adaptable of nonhuman primatesin the sense that they can adjust to a variety of environments.

CENTER INFORMATION Mission Statement Director's Office ... Contact
Natural History of the Primate Species Housed at the Washington National Primate Research Center
Of the more than 250 nonhuman primate species in the world, only four commonly participate in research projects at the WaNPRC. These include savanna baboons and three species of macaque. None of the primate species used in research at the WaNPRC is endangered or threatened with extinction. The WaNPRC colony includes 3 of the 19 macaque species identified by scientists: Macaca nemestrina —the pigtailed macaque, Macaca fascicularis —the longtailed macaque, and Macaca mulatta —the rhesus macaque. Pigtailed macaques inhabit tropical evergreen rainforests of Southeast Asia from Burma to Indonesia, including the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. Longtailed macaques are found in many of the same places as pigtailed macaques, but they have a larger geographical distribution, extending to numerous islands including Java, Bali, and the Philippines. Where they are found in the same general location, these two species tend to separate ecologically. The longtailed macaques are more likely to be along rivers or in secondary forest, on flatter terrain, and at lower elevations than pigtailed macaques. Pigtailed macaques more often inhabit primary forest and hilly terrain. Rhesus macaques are broadly distributed in Asia, extending from eastern Afghanistan, across much of India and

Orang Utans
The Singapore Zoo displays a large social group of 26 orang utans in a spacious naturalistic enclosure. Though not the only zoo in the world to display a social group of orang utans, we are the only ones who have done so on such a large scale. The provision of a large enclosure and lots of climbing platforms allow the orang utans to get away from their group members and enjoy moments of peace when needed. The platforms not only allow the apes to develop their natural climbing skills but also serve as escape routes for them should fighting break out. These highly intelligent animals have to be kept occupied or boredom will consume them, which occurs ever so often in captivity. We keep the orang utans busy through the use of a technique known as behavioural enrichment The ability to breed is a good indication of the state of physical and emotional health of a zoo animal, and we are proud to have bred a total of 21 orang utans to date. We have sent some of our orang utans to zoos in Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Japan, Australia and New Zealand as part of the worldwide exchange programme to facilitate breeding of this highly endangered ape.
