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 />

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 />

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 />

and maturational differences, as well as<br />
