Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Barbary macaque (all too often mistakenly called an ape) was first brought to the attention of the Conservation Working Party of the Primate Society of Great Britain late 1979 when John Fa reported that 'surplus' animals were being sent from Gibraltar to dubious locations, such as an Italian safari park. Since there had been no scientific input into the Army's management of the monkey colony on Gibraltar, and there was concern about inbreeding, nutrition and health - about the long-term viability of the colony, it was felt that the Society could help. The Gibraltar Scientific Authority and the Army were very receptive to our offer and ideas, and this topic occupied successive chairmen over the last few years - Robin Dunbar and Richard Wrangham, myself and now Miranda Stevenson - with constant prompting and help from John Fa. Considerations soon extended to the status of the species as a whole, so that there have been three main aspects:- (1) the improved health of a larger self-sustaining population on Gibraltar, (2) the status and behavioural biology of natural populations in North Africa (Morocco and Algeria), and (3) the breeding achievements in European parks and zoos, and their potential for reintroduction to suitable areas in North Africa, along with other possibilities. Robin Dunbar organized the compilation of recommendations for managing the Gibraltar colony with regard to numbers, age-sex struc ture and behavioural relationships, with some observations on diet to avoid obesity and infertility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known by several names, the Barbary macaque, or Macaca sylvanus, is a unique species of primate found only in the hilly regions of North Africa. It is primarily found in Algeria's and Morocco's Atlas Mountains. Because of its distinct appearance-it lacks a tail, unlike most other macaques-the Barbary macaque is commonly mistaken for an ape. Males of these macaques tend to be larger than females, making them heavy-set animals. Their body length is between 55 and 75 cm, and they weigh between 10 and 16 kg. Women are smaller, weighing between 5 and 11 kg. Their dark brown to grayish fur, which is thick, protects them from the freezing conditions of their mountain habitats. Their face is hairless, soft pink, and expressive. It is capable of producing a range of facial expressions that are significant in their social interactions. Gregarious primates, barbary macaques usually reside in groups of one to several dozen. These troops are matriarchal, with females remaining in their natal groups for life and males moving between groups often. Their omnivorous diet consists of leaves, fruits, seeds, and insects that they find in their wooded habitat. In terms of behavior, Barbary macaques are well known for their close-knit social networks and grooming routines that promote group cohesion. They communicate using a complex system of facial expressions, vocalizations, and body language. Their sociable and smart nature makes them fascinating animals, but they may be very challenging to manage as pets. The History of Barbary Macaques as Pets For many years, Barbary macaques have been kept as pets due to their typically peaceful nature and human-like traits. In the past, affluent people and members of royalty frequently kept them as exotic pets. Because of their novelty and the prestige symbol they represented, Barbary macaques were highly prized by the Roman Empire's upper classes. More recently, Barbary macaques have been brought to Europe and other parts of the world through trade and the exotic pet industry. Their charming appearance and fascinating attitude have made them appealing to pet owners looking for interesting and intelligent companions. However, both the owners and the animals have had numerous problems as a result of this method. The transportation and capturing of Barbary macaques for the pet trade has been implicated in part in the decline of natural populations. Young macaques experience extreme stress and trauma when they are taken out of their natural habitats because it disrupts their social systems. The travel to their new homes is sometimes challenging because to high mortality rates from filthy facilities and inadequate care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Macaca sylvanus, also referred to as the Barbary macaque, is a distinct species of primate that is indigenous to the hilly regions of North Africa. It is mostly found in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and Algeria. The Barbary macaque is frequently confused for an ape due to its unique look, which includes a body lacking a tail, in contrast to most other macaques. These macaques are heavy-set animals, with males usually larger than females. They weigh between 10 and 16 kg and have a body length of 55 to 75 cm. Females weigh between 5 and 11 kg, making them smaller. Their thick fur, which varies in hue from light brown to grayish, insulates them from the chilly temperatures of their alpine environments. Their face is expressive, pale pink, and hairless. It can make a variety of facial emotions that are important in their social interactions. Barbary macaques are gregarious primates that typically live in groups of one to several dozen members. These troops are matriarchal, with males frequently migrating between groups and females staying in their natal groups for life. They graze on leaves, fruits, seeds, and insects found in their woodland habitat, making up an omnivorous diet. Behavior-wise, Barbary macaques are renowned for their close-knit social networks and grooming habits, which support the cohesiveness of the group. They use a sophisticated system of body language, facial gestures, and vocalizations to communicate. They are intriguing animals because of their gregarious and intellectual character, but they may be very difficult to keep as pets. The Background of Pet Barbary Macaques Because of their generally calm disposition and human-like tendencies, Barbary macaques have been kept as pets for several centuries. They were frequently kept as exotic companions by royalty and wealthy people in the past. The affluent class of the Roman Empire adored Barbary macaques because of their novelty and the status symbol they signified. Through trade and the exotic pet industry, Barbary macaques have more recently been introduced to Europe and other regions of the world. Pet owners searching for unusual and intellectual companions have found them alluring due to their endearing looks and captivating personality. But this approach has caused a lot of issues for the animals as well as their owners. The loss of wild populations has been attributed in part to the capture and transportation of Barbary macaques for the pet trade. When young macaques are removed from their natural environments, their social structures are upset, leading to severe stress and trauma. With high mortality rates from unsanitary facilities and insufficient care, the journey to their new homes is frequently difficult. Even for those that make it through, having a pet can be extremely difficult. It is challenging to give complex stimulation and a highly social environment to barbary macaques in a regular home. Their inability to engage in socializing, grooming, and foraging-all of which are natural behaviors-causes bodily and mental problems. Furthermore, because of their strong social ties, when they lack sufficient socialization or company, they may act out or become upset.

This book was released on 1998-11-03 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 1985 amendment to the Animal Welfare Act requires those who keep nonhuman primates to develop and follow appropriate plans for promoting the animals' psychological well-being. The amendment, however, provides few specifics. The Psychological Well-Being of Nonhuman Primates recommends practical approaches to meeting those requirements. It focuses on what is known about the psychological needs of primates and makes suggestions for assessing and promoting their well-being. This volume examines the elements of an effective care programâ€"social companionship, opportunities for species-typical activity, housing and sanitation, and daily care routinesâ€"and provides a helpful checklist for designing a plan for promoting psychological well-being. The book provides a wealth of specific and useful information about the psychological attributes and needs of the most widely used and exhibited nonhuman primates. Readable and well-organized, it will be welcomed by animal care and use committees, facilities administrators, enforcement inspectors, animal advocates, researchers, veterinarians, and caretakers.
