About Us Volunteering Core Programmes Conservation Solutions ... South Coast Eco-Tourism OTHER PRIMATES IN DIANI A bstracted from information compiled by R. Eley and P. Kahumbu The colobus isn't the only primate in Diani. In fact, there are three primate families on the south coast at Diani: 1.) Family Lorisinae (bushbabies), 2.) Family Cercopithecidae (vervets, sykes, baboons, colobus) and 3.) Family Hominidae (humans). Vervet Monkeys Cercopithecus aethiops Cercopithecus monkeys are the most common monkeys found in Africa. Five of the 20+ species found in Africa can be found in Kenya and both the Vervet and Sykes monkeys can be found commonly in Diani. The Vervet (also known as the "African green monkey") is a grey-brown monkey with white under parts, white-fringed black face, long whitish cheek wiskers, white brow, black feet and black tip of the tail. Males posses a blue scrotum, red penis and red peri-anus and weigh around 4 to 6 kg and measure 40 to 60 cm when adult. Females are normally 2 to 5 kg and measure 30 to 50 cm. Female breasts also often have a bluish tinge to them. Infants have similar, but lighter, colouration and also have pink faces. Normally found in savannah, woodland, riverine, lake-shore and coastal forests - Vervets normally do not inhabit heavily forested areas of very open grasslands. They are widely distributed around southern Africa (south of the Sahara Desert) and are found throughout Kenya - even in the city of Nairobi!

The baboons work maybe four hours a day to feed themselves; hardly anyone is likely to eat them. Basically, baboons have about a half dozen solid hours of sunlight a day to devote to being rotten to each other. Just like our society....

The University of Chicago Magazine August 1995 Return to August 1995 Table of Contents In their decades watching the baboons of Kenya, Jeanne and Stuart Altmann have discovered a rich social world where behavior and biology meet. By Andrew Campbell STUART ALTMANN DIDN'T SEE what started the fight. But there it was, the male baboon, fearsome with his daggerlike canines, menacing a female half his size. The male chased the female around the savanna and up a nearby acacia tree, until she hung high up on branches barely able to support her weight. The attacker kept up his threats from a nearby limb while the other baboons in the group ignored the sceneall but one adult female, who ran to the tree's base and started screaming at the male. Why did this one animal come to the rescue? To Altmann, who with his wife and fellow researcher, Jeanne, PhD'79, has been studying the baboons of Kenya's Amboseli National Park since 1963, the answer was obvious: The female under attack was her daughter. He tells the story to show how even the baboons' most basic behaviors would be mystifying without being able to recognize individual animals and knowing which is related to which. Those methods, rare when the Altmanns first came to Kenya but now standard procedure in studies of wild primates, are typical of the many advances they've helped bring about. While the average primate study lasts, by one estimate, just 18 months, the Altmanns, through intense, long-term observation, have untangled the meaning of behaviors more complexand more variable among individualsthan brief studies could ever reveal.

The physiological and behavioral effects of radio music on singly housed baboons L. Brent and D. Weaver Departments of Laboratory Animal Medicine and Physiology and Medicine. Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research, San Antonio, Texas 78245. U.S.A. Accepted October 16,1996. The response of four singly caged baboons to radio music was measured using behavioral and physiological Indices. Heart rate and blood pressure. measured through a tether system. as well as behavior, were recorded during a two-week period I n which radio music was available In half of the samples. The behavior of the subjects. as well as their blood pressure. did not vary in relation to radio music. Heart rate was significantly lower when the radio was on. Key words: sound - Papio - environment enrichment Introduction The effect of environmental stimuli on the captive animal has been of great interest to those working with laboratory, zoo, and farm animals. The increased emphasis on environmental enrichment and the relation between environmental factors and an animal's physical and psychological well-being have been studied. particularly in nonhuman primates. Many studies have produced important findings on the impact of social. structural, and feeding variables on captive animals, and how enrichment techniques can be used to increase the subject's well-being [14.21]. However. less information is available on sensory stimulation, such as the effect of different olfactory and auditory environments.

Species-adequate Housing and Handling Conditions for Old World Nonhuman Primates Kept in Research Institutions by Viktor Reinhardt Animal Welfare Institute PO Box 3650, Washington, DC 20007 Old World nonhuman primates commonly found in research institutions are distinguished by the following characteristics: Social disposition : Like human primates, nonhuman primates have an inherent need for companionship. Prolonged social deprivation may lead to depression (Figure 1) and gross behavioral disorders such as self-biting and self-clasping. Semi-arboreal lifestyle : All species, even those who spend much of the day on the ground (e.g., baboons, guenons) seek trees or other elevated structures as refuges from predators and as safe resting sites for the night. In the wild, the presence of large trees may be the only limitation for the distribution of primates. A lack of vertical escape routes in situations of danger induces anxiety and fear (the animal is quasi-cornered) manifesting themselves in hyperactivity, depression and/or hyperaggression. Complex living environment : Primates are physiologically and anatomically adapted to live in a complex, dynamic environment which keeps them busy most of the time. A primate who is forced to continuously live in a boring, i.e., understimulating environment becomes apathetic or restless and may resort to stereotypical substitute activities.

Department Wickler Biological Markets Grooming markets in baboons and other primates louiseb@liverpool.ac.uk p.henzi@bolton.ac.uk A very convincing example is the 'baby market' described by Peter Henzi during the Congress of the Int. Primatological Society (Adelaïde, Australia, Jan. 2001): the amount of grooming a female has to give to a mother in order to be allowed to handle her infant depends on the number of infants available in the group. The lower the number of infants available the more grooming has to be paid to get access! (See also: New Scientist 27 JAN 2001 p. 19) Lazaro-Perea, C.; de Fátima Arruda, M.; Snowdon, C.

According to eyewitnesses, the driver deliberately swerved across the road to hit the female who was eating white ants. Soon afterwards, an infuriated group of baboons converged at the scene of the killing and surrounded her body.

SAfrica-France-baboons: S.African government probing French-owned baboon breeding centre Agence France-Presse - May 20, 2000 JOHANNESBURG, May 20 (AFP) - The South African government has launched an probe into an animal experimentation centre accused of supplying primates to the French military for nuclear tests, a report said Saturday. The baboons at Frenchman Marc Bailly-Maitre's Centre in Africa of Primatological Experimentation (CAPE) were "emaciated beyond belief" according to the group which is planning to bring criminal charges against him, the Saturday Star reported. The National Council of the Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty Against Animals (NSPCA) raided CAPE, situatued near the town of Hazyview in northeastern Mpumalanga province, last Friday. NSPCA inspector Neil Fraser said he found 30 primates in various stages of starvation and had to put down seven on the spot to "prevent further inexpressible suffering." The NSPCA wants to move the remaining monkeys to a conservation centre while the provincial department of agriculture and environmental affairs has laid a charge against CAPE for operating without a permit. "We laid the charge with a view to closing CAPE down," a spokesman for the department, Thembi Makhuvele, told the SAPA news agency.

97. Animal Protection Institute - Crossing Species: The Politics Of Desperation Virtually all primates carry foamy viruses, an AIDSlike retrovirus that is highly Ninety-seven percent of baboons are infected with Herpes simplex, http://www.api4animals.org/731.htm

From Mainstream , Volume 27, Number 1, Spring 1996 Judith Reitman's article, from which with her permission Mainstream has excerpted portions, was written for a leading national magazine in the Fall of 1995, before Jeff Getty received his transplant of bone marrow cells from a baboon. As of press time, that operation successful only in that the procedure did not kill the patient, although the "donor" died regardless seems to have had no success in delaying the progression of Jeff Getty's AIDS. In fact, preliminary tests indicate that the baboon cells failed to join with Getty's bone marrow cells, as had been hoped. Judith Reitman's argument remains valid, however. There is no hope that the medical community will stop xenotransplantation just because Jeff Getty's operation did not succeed. The prevailing attitude is to continue with more xenotransplants, more animals sacrificed on cul-de-sac procedures, and the terrifying prospect that a virulent virus living undetected in an animal host may leap the species and infect humans with catastrophic results. Editor Crossing Species: The Politics of Desperation By Judith Reitman The history of scientific experimentation using non-human primates has been a roll-call of near misses and direct hits of human slate-wipers: bizarre, transmissible diseases for which there are often no cures. None at all. By the time a primate-borne virus has been identified in a human, the victim may have already been reduced to the consistency of tapioca pudding, and the mutated pathogen well on its way to annihilating chunks of the human race.
