Bermuda -- the location of a small<br />

free-ranging colony of white-handed<br />

gibbons. Introduces each gibbon,<br />

identifying its special characteristics, and<br />

looks at the gibbon's daily activity cycle:<br />

foraging for plant and animal foods,<br />

reacting to new food objects, drinking<br />

patterns, grooming, resting, and sleeping.<br />

2 - LOCOMOTION<br />

LOCOMOTION<br />

Explains that gibbons on Hall's Island<br />

exhibit basic patterns of semi vertical trunk<br />

orientation in walking and swinging, which<br />

may represent one phase in the evolution<br />

of human upright posture. Illustrates<br />

individual variation in lo<strong>com</strong>otion:<br />

brachiation, swinging, climbing, walking,<br />

and jumping. A slow-motion sequence<br />

reveals details of lo<strong>com</strong>otion.<br />

3 - SOCIAL SOCIAL BEHAVIOR<br />

BEHAVIOR<br />

Investigates the social behavior of young<br />

gibbons on Hall's Island. Shows<br />

<strong>com</strong>municative behavior patterns during<br />

interactions and pair formation, and looks<br />

at behavioral <strong>com</strong>ponents of play including<br />

copulation, wrestling, chasing, and<br />

surprise approaches. Also illustrates the<br />

use of core parts of territorial ranges as<br />

pair and / or individual sleeping sites.<br />

C.R. Carpenter's ecological and<br />

behavioral study of primate colonies<br />

indigenous to Japan. Examines three<br />

groups of the Takasakiyama colony who<br />

have distinct territorial ranges but who<br />

rotate use of a <strong>com</strong>mon feeding ground<br />

and temple grove. Points out that spatial<br />

distribution patterns reflect social<br />

organization and that <strong>com</strong>munication by<br />

sentinel-tree signaling regulates<br />

intergroup and intragroup actions. Shows<br />

mother-infant conditioning through positive<br />

and negative reinforcements, adaptive<br />

learning, and grooming as a conditioning<br />

activity, and looks at animals in the<br />

Koshima Island colony who transmit to<br />

infants and juveniles the learned behavior<br />

of washing potatoes and separating wheat<br />

from sand.<br />

social organization and describes the way<br />

in which social structure changes when<br />

the distribution of food be<strong>com</strong>es patchy in<br />

the dry season.<br />

months to six years, the development of<br />

Viki's manual dexterity in such activities as<br />

playing with blocks and toys, fastening<br />

snap-and-ring sets, attempting to tie knots,<br />

filing one's own nails, and using<br />

AFFECTION<br />

Nature and Development of Affection. A<br />

series of observations and experiments<br />

analyzing the variables underlying the<br />

nature and development of affection in<br />

primates. Rhesus monkeys, separated<br />

from their mothers at birth, were raised<br />

mursing or non-nursing on cloth or wire<br />

surrogate mothers. Shows infants being<br />

tested for mother preference under a<br />

variety of conditions. Results indicate that<br />

contact <strong>com</strong>fort is the primary variable<br />

determining affection and attachmentof<br />

the rhesus to the mother. Infant moneys<br />

develop strong and persisting affectional<br />

attachments to the coloth "mother" and<br />

behave in a secure manner in her<br />

presence. H.F. Harlow and R. Zimmerman.<br />

FOREST<br />

Observes chimpanzees in the Ivory<br />

Coast's Tai National Park as they spend<br />

hours each day collecting, opening, and<br />

eating coule tree nuts. Examines the<br />

nut-cracking activities of chimpanzee<br />

groups, revealing the chimps' relationships,<br />

social life, and dominance. Contrasts the<br />

nut-cracking patterns of female and male<br />

chimpanzees, with emphasis on the<br />

caregiving habits of mother chimps and<br />

the evolution of nut-cracking ability in their<br />

young. Filmmakers: Christophe Boesch<br />

perspective, from tree shrews through<br />
