He had a breakfast of kale, celery, carrots and green beans followed by his regular arthritis medication. Then, apparently, boredom set in. So he did what any other restless primate would do: He headed for the gift shop. He got there by shimmying down a 45-foot tower at the National Zoo, climbing over an electrified barrier and leaping into a flower bed. As staffers herded astonished visitors into a nearby building, Junior took in Monkey Island and an exhibit of prairie dogs before being tranquilized and returned to captivity. Seaching for the animals lost in the shrubbery at the San Diego Zoo. Zoo officials were taken aback. "Junior had never climbed the tower before," says Bob Hoage, spokesman for the Washington, D.C., zoo. Here's one for the annals of unintended consequences. America's zoos are in the midst of a renaissance, with attendance up and $2 billion in new spending on verdant jungle habitats. The idea was to replace those grim concrete cages with settings that would be more palatable not only for the animals but for the public. There's just one catch: Good luck spotting the animals. From San Diego to New York, visitors are complaining that going to the zoo has become an exercise in frustration. They can't see the pandas behind the bamboo, or the cheetahs in the tall grass, or the tigers under the leafy vegetation. At this rate, the question becomes: How long will zoo-goers put up with it? "I've been a dozen times, and I 've only seen lions twice," says Linda Kennedy Rosser, of the Oklahoma City Zoo's $8.7 million Cat Forest/Lion Overlook. "Once was with binoculars." Then there 's the escape issue -- not exactly an enticement for visitors. During the past three years, there have been more than 15 significant zoo escapes, from a wolverine in Detroit to a chimpanzee in Dallas that was accidentally electrocuted while on the lam. Just this month, an escaped gorilla was captured asleep in the men 's room after being tranquilized by Los Angeles zookeepers. The zoo business is bigger than you might think. Last year, over 93 million people visited the major ones, up about 15% from five years earlier. That 's more than attended National Football League and Major League Baseball games combined. There are also huge sums of taxpayer money invested in the redesign efforts. "When zoos come in short on these new exhibits, they either do a disservice to the zoo-goer or the animal," says Vicki Croke, author of a major history on zoos. That is the heart of a debate about whether zoos are there to serve the people or the animals. A recent cross-country visit to 10 big-city zoos shows how different zoos deal with this issue. On one extreme is the renowned and highly naturalistic San Diego Zoo. Despite a few surprisingly retro cubicles for monkeys, finding the animals in some exhibits there is like playing "Where's Waldo?" Its vaunted pandas are barely visible amid a clustering of elm and bamboo, and visitors to its expansive Tiger River exhibit sometimes have to spring from viewing area to viewing area to catch a glimpse of the elusive cats. (The mist spewing out from jets along the walkway doesn't help.) "Our first charter is to make the animals comfortable," says Larry Killmar, General Curator of the Zoological Society of San Diego, and that "might make it difficult for people to see things." At the other extreme: San Francisco, which is dominated by the kind of penitentiary-like exhibits that were commonplace several decades ago. It still houses chimps and orangutans on 44-year-old barren concrete islands. Even so, the animals can be hard to spot, thanks to some trees the zoo planted around the islands in 1992. (This may be a rare case where limiting public exposure to the animals is a good thing: Before the trees went up, some of the chimps were throwing dung at passing zoo-goers.) It isn't only the structure of San Francisco's exhibits that are problematic for animals. Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which regulates conditions for mammals at zoos, cited the facility for 11 compliance problems, including inadequate disposal of food and waste in the bison holding pen. (The zoo says it since has corrected all the problems.) The situation is similar in Dallas, another zoo with its share of old-style menagerie exhibits. While the zoo's chimps are in a glorious glass-fronted enclosure, the lions are stuck in what the zoo calls Cat Row -- a series of kennel-like structures covered by chain-link fencing. The giraffes and elephants are housed in somewhat larger latrine-like cells with small outdoor yards. When we visited, a giraffe with grossly overgrown hooves was banging its head repeatedly against a basketball dangling over the exhibit. The most recent USDA report cited Dallas for seven animal-welfare violations, including the giraffe's hooves. The city, on behalf of the zoo, signed a consent decree last month and agreed to fix its remaining problems. It is just such conditions, along with growing concern globally about animal welfare, that has prompted the greening of America's zoos. Now, many zoos have come to see themselves less as living museums than as vehicles for conservation, places to educate the public about natural resources and also encourage animals to procreate. Indeed, some of the new exhibits were specifically designed to give animals enough privacy to reproduce. Progress in veterinary medicine has helped make all this possible. In the past, exhibits had to have easy-to-clean concrete and tile in order to control disease. Now that zoos have other ways to prevent and cure animal ailments, zoos can put their inhabitants in more natural environments. But how to do so without compromising the view? Some zoos have managed to strike a fairly happy medium. Both the Philadelphia Zoo and Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo have exhibits just large enough to keep the animals comfortable and just compact enough to keep them in sight. Indeed, Lincoln Park is basically gorilla utopia: The animals get a waterfall and jungle gyms, all in a space that is more vertical than horizontal -- and thus front-and-center for the viewing public. But it's a delicate balance. Atlanta, an otherwise highly visitor-centric zoo, has struggled for years to get some of its gorillas to meet and greet their public. Instead, the apes hang out on a patio that is obscured by a forest of grass and palms. It was a "design error," says Jon Coe, a landscape architect who helped create the exhibit. To help deal with its more reticent residents, the zoo hired an animal psychologist, whose suggestions included a jungle gym for the gorillas. But so far they aren't biting. Zookeepers say that, other than first thing in the morning, when the animals are released from their holding area, it's virtually impossible to see them. (The shrink has had better luck with the lions and tigers; the lions got big bones to gnaw on, and the tigers got live fish in their outdoor pond.) Other zoos have tried everything from large outdoor rocks, which are heated in winter, to artificial trees with camouflaged feeding posts. Some even have video cameras suspended over the exhibit. (Of course, that raises the question of whether one might as well stay home and watch the Discovery Channel.) It may not be entirely the animals' fault. Jack Grisham, director of animal management in Oklahoma City, says some visitors got spoiled by the old-style cages and simply don't bother looking: "Nine times out of 10, they're right in front under a bush looking for shade." Zoos acknowledge they must play a role in helping visitors find what they came to see. "We have to teach the public how to look," says the San Diego Zoo's Mr. Killmar. "We need to slow them down." As for escapes, the American Zoo and Aquarium Association has issued general guidelines on securing exhibits, covering such issues as how to build walls that can't be climbed. Some zoos also employ professional rock climbers to check for exit routes. The Los Angeles Zoo used a Hollywood-trained chimp to test its new exhibit three years ago. The movie chimp was trapped, but not zoo resident Gracie; she got out three times before the zoo constructed enough additional obstacles to keep her contained. "Accessibility and naturalism can lead to more potential for escapes," says Eugene Linden, an author of books about animal behavior. "But it's a risk I think that zoos should take." The Dallas Zoo learned just how risky last July, when a chimp named Judy met her end on her very first day there. She climbed up a tree, impervious to the shock of its electrified wire, and high-tailed it out of the exhibit. Her captors pursued her, shooting off tranquilizer darts as well as a shotgun. Two hours later, she lost her footing as she shimmied up a telephone pole outside the zoo and dropped to a live wire below. She was instantly electrocuted. A spokeswoman says seven trees have since been removed from the exhibit, including the one Judy used to get out. -- Michelle Higgins contributed to this article. Write to Lisa Gubernick at lisa.gubernick@wsj.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh Where? We visited 10 big-city zoos to see what they had to offer -- and who's escaped lately. Here's what we found. The Bronx Zoo New York City Adults: $9 Children: $5 Overview: At 265 acres, it's the biggest urban zoo. Aficionados call it the gold standard. We agree. Most Popular Exhibit: The $43 million, 6.5-acre Congo Gorilla Forest. Air jets -- and a heating pad in front of the glass -- keep the apes close to zoo-goers. Worst Exhibit: The Bengali Express, a tram through 38 acres of the "Asian Wild." Long waits, and hard-to-find tigers. Zoo plans a new tiger exhibit. Most Recent Escape: A red panda hopped a wall in July. The barrier has since been raised. Dallas Zoo Adults: $6 Children: $3 Overview: Loved the primates, but even the zoo concedes some exhibits need an upgrade. Most Popular Exhibit: The Wilds of Africa. Towering exhibit where chimps use ropes to climb among giant cedars. The nature walk is worth a visit. Worst Exhibit: Cat Row is this zoo's skid row, with chain-link fences and cramped quarters. The giraffes and elephants don't have it much better. Most Recent Escape: Judy the chimp, who wound up electrocuted on a power wire. Lincoln Park Zoo Chicago Free Overview: Charming and immaculate. Everybody looks happy, including the animals. Most Popular Exhibit: The Great Ape House. Featured in the movie "Return to Me." Resident Kwan took a star turn as "Sydney" in the film. Worst Exhibit: The children's zoo. Remarkably few animals, considering it's a zoo. Most Recent Escape: A white-lipped deer. The zoo blames it on the does next door: "He was isolated." Los Angeles Zoo Adults: $8.25 Children: $3.25 Overview: The new exhibits highlight just how far the old ones have to go. Most Popular Exhibit: Little Tanzania: the $5 million Chimpanzees of Mahale Mountains exhibit, with rocks, grass and a waterfall. Worst Exhibit: Billy the pachyderm. A mousy yard for an elephant of an animal. He looked cramped. Most Recent Escape: Evelyn the gorilla, earlier this month. She was out for more than an hour. National Zoological Park Washington, D.C. Free Overview: The late pandas were a big selling point. We miss them. Most Popular Exhibit: Think Tank, where orangutans demonstrate their cognitive abilities on computers. Worst Exhibit: The bears. Stark, fake-rock habitats with a few ragtag weeds. "A high priority for future fund-raising," says a zoo spokesman. Most Recent Escape: Junior, a 34-year-old orangutan, flew the coop this summer. The Philadelphia Zoo Adults: $10.50 Children (2-4): $6 Children (5-11): $8 Overview: Nice habitats, great signage. Exhibits have "look here" signs for hard-to-spot animals. Most Popular Exhibit: The new primate reserve, which rose from the ashes of the old monkey house, where 24 residents died in a 1995 Christmas Eve fire. Worst Exhibit: The rare mammal house. It stinks -- literally. The cages look like latrines. The zoo is moving the animals out next month. Not soon enough. Most Recent Escape: In April, a cow (yes, you read that right) jumped a fence -- since raised -- in the children's zoo. San Diego Zoo Adults: $18 Children: $8 Overview: Almost too big. Take the 30-minute bus tour before heading out on foot. Most Popular Exhibit: Its famed pandas. Hua Mei, the cub born in August 1999, is adorable, but don't count on seeing her. She spends a lot of time behind bamboo leaves. Worst Exhibit: The Monkey House, with cells so small that the zoo has replaced some of the primates with (cute) rodents. Most Recent Escape: A spot-nosed guenon (monkey) briefly got out last year. San Francisco Zoo Adults: $9 Children (3-11): $3 Children (12-17): $6 Overview: Our least favorite. It's dominated by grim old-style enclosures. Most Popular Exhibit: The baby gorilla in Gorilla World -- if you can find her. The exhibit is an acre of grassy mounds and rocky outcroppings. Worst Exhibit: The other Alcatraz: three concrete islands that house chimps and orangutans. (The zoo says it plans to build them a new home.) Most Recent Escape: In 1995, a patas monkey literally climbed the walls to get out. Hot wire has since been added. Zoo Atlanta Adults: $15 Children: $10 (half-price if the gorillas aren't out!) Overview: Our favorite small zoo -- except for the branding. We could have done without the Nabisco Endangered Species Carousel. Worst Exhibit: The 1964 Reptile House. Harsh lights and overgrown vegetation make it difficult to see the snakes. The last building dating back to the "old" Atlanta zoo once ranked as one of America's worst. Most Recent Escape: A porcupine. The zoo believes it unhooked the latch on its cage -- and has since replaced the latch with a combination lock.

The sanctuaries would care for the animals after they are no longer needed for biomedical research. The measure, which passed on a voice vote, would allow spending up to $30 million to set up the centers, which would be managed by a nonprofit private entity. Chimpanzees used by nongovernment researchers could also be admitted to the preserves, space permitting, for an entrance fee. The Senate has not yet taken up the measure. Government researchers overbred chimpanzees at the beginning of the AIDS (news - web sites) epidemic, according to Rep. James Greenwood, R-Pa., the bill's sponsor. But they found the animals to be a poor model for study because they rarely contracted AIDS after being infected with the virus, HIV. Chimpanzees, which can live up to 60 years, cannot be returned to the wild after medical research because most of them carry diseases such as hepatitis and HIV. They also face death from wild chimpanzees that feel their territory has been violated. Once admitted to these proposed sanctuaries, chimpanzees would not face any further invasive research, although observational research would be permitted. ``These animals deserve far better from us than they have been getting,'' said Greenwood. ``This legislation is not only the humane thing to do - it is also the cost-effective thing to do.'' The Congressional Budget Office has estimated the plan would save the federal government an average of $3 million a year after the starting costs, because of a planned public-private partnership. The bill has received pledges of fund-raising support from such prominent naturalists as Jane Goodall. Last week, Congress voted to provide $5 million a year for the Interior Department to use for grants to organizations involved in efforts to protect the great apes of Asia and Africa. - The bill is H.R. 3514.

In 1945, I married into the circus (my husband was the ringmaster). In those days, wives had to do something connected to the business, and I was too tall for the trapeze. So, I became the first female circus press agent. One of my first circus experiences was when my husband took me to meet his good friends, the Grahams, and their chimpanzee, Andy Colino. We were invited to their trailer for coffee. Mrs. Graham untied Andy, who was dressed in a shirt and overalls. Andy ran ahead to open the door for us. As soon as we were inside, Andy proceeded to help set the table. I must have looked like an idiot with my mouth hanging open as I watched this tremendous chimp, who was at least 5 feet tall and must have weighed 170 pounds. Andy joined us at the table, and politely laid his napkin across his lap. When Mrs. Graham signaled him that it was OK to start eating, I can truthfully say Andy had better manners than some children I've seen. After we finished, Andy cleared the table with the proficiency of a trained maid. Mrs. Graham washed the dishes and Andy dried them and put them away. I am now 82, but I will never forget that lovable Andy Colino. He was much more like a human than a monkey. - Shirley O'Connor, Laguna Woods, Calif.

Belfast Zoo staff were heartbroken at the news of the double-drowning. Panic-stricken Angus, who had been on his mother's back, jumped into the lake in fright from an electric shock at a fence designed to keep apes away from the water. Frantically, Annie followed her son into the lake in a desperate attempt to save him but both of them drowned. Annie, who was loved by thousands of Ulster children, and Angus had just arrived a few days earlier from their Bellevue home. Dublin Zoo had borrowed them, along with two other chimpanzees. The management there had planned to build a new chimp colony using new stock from Belfast, breeding them with two chimps reared in Dublin. Roddy Guiney, Dublin Zoo spokesman, said that the drownings were a "freak accident". He added: "Everybody was cut up about it, very upset about it. There have been chimps on the islands in the zoo for the last six or seven years. They are more than safe there. "There has never been an incident and I don't think there would have been except that it was a baby chimp that fell in." Experts say that the mother-infant bond among chimpanzees is extremely strong and that this was why Annie risked her own life to save her child. Mother chimpanzees nurse their infants for up to five years. Chimps, which have a lifespan of over 50 years, are almost identical in their genetic make -up to humans, sharing about 98 per cent of human DNA. Dublin Zoo said that there were no plans to replace Annie and Angus.

One day, he noticed a female spider monkey staring at him with unusual intensity. Hauser moved closer; the monkey reached through the bars of her cage, wrapped both hands around his neck, and cooed, gazing deep into his eyes for several minutes. When her mate neared, she swatted him away before resuming her attentions to Hauser. What was she thinking and feeling? Hauser wondered. His efforts to investigate came to nothing. The brief encounter turned out to be just a one-afternoon stand. Although Hauser approached the spider monkey's cage several more times that summer, she never responded to the hairless primate's advances. Such a story of uncanny interspecies connection would seem to fit right in to the pages of recent popular accounts of animals and their amazingly humanlike thoughts and emotions--books like Elizabeth Marshall Thomas's The Hidden Life of Dogs or Jeffrey Masson's When Elephants Weep. Instead, the tale kicks off Hauser's challenge to such authors and to what he sees as their lazy anthropomorphism and occasional antiscience bias. In his new book, Wild Minds: What Animals Really Think (Holt), the Harvard psychology professor brings Darwinian theory and empirical rigor to bear on a subject often clouded by both popular gullibility and scientists' disdain. Evolution, Hauser argues, has endowed even the lowliest of the beasts with rich mental lives, thanks to a "universal toolkit" of basic cognitive abilities, plus whatever conceptual hammers, wrenches, and measuring sticks each species needs in order to make a living in its ecological niche. An unsurprising thesis, perhaps, now that the runaway success of such books as Steven Pinker's The Language Instinct and How the Mind Works has sold many lay readers on the Darwinian, modular view of the mind. Hauser, in fact, embraces the label "evolutionary psychologist." But as he sees it, popularizers of evolutionary psychology sometimes rely too heavily on ingenious theoretical arguments and concern themselves too little with the bedeviling details. Rather than offering firm answers, Wild Minds delves into the messy, difficult business of bringing animal thinking out of the realm of just-so stories and into that of solid empirical research. -------------------- Hauser is hardly the first to try to knock Thomas, Masson, and company off the bookshelf. Wild Minds is one of several recent dispatches bringing the lay reader news from an increasingly visible field sometimes known as cognitive ethology. A three-part documentary called Inside the Animal Mind aired on U.S. public television this winter. Last November, when the psychologist Irene Pepperberg published The Alex Papers, an account of her twenty-two-year study of an African gray parrot's ability to grasp such concepts as number and color, she made the front page of The New York Times. Other recent books on the topic include Steven Budiansky's If a Lion Could Talk, James L. Gould and Carol Grant Gould's The Animal Mind, and Marian Stamp Dawkins's Through Our Eyes Only? To its advocates, the rise of cognitive ethology reflects a regaining of consciousness after a dark half century of behaviorist orthodoxy, which held that all behavior, animal or human, was the result not of mental events but of conditioned responses to external stimuli. Cognitive ethologists trace their assumptions back to Charles Darwin, who insisted that animals and humans exhibit no less evolutionary continuity in their minds than in their kidneys, hearts, and toes. The field's critics, however, suspect that talk of animal thinking and intention may owe less to Darwin than to the embarrassing and dubiously anecdotal mentalism of his prot=E9g=E9 Georges Romanes, a popular lecturer who saw logisticating dogs a= nd conniving felines under every Victorian armchair. Animals, of course, can't tell us what they think. It's a measure of the difficulty of reading wild minds that many in the field--including Hauser, the subtitle of his book notwithstanding--reject the use of such terms as "thinking," "intelligence," and "consciousness" in favor of the less vague and less inflammatory "cognition." But that hasn't stopped Hauser from developing provocative arguments likely to give readers pause, whether they see animals as cuddly little humans or mindless creatures of instinct. Hauser's office office is on the ninth floor of Harvard's William James Hall, the building where the arch-behaviorist B.F. Skinner shared his quarters with maze-running rats and bar-pecking pigeons until his death in 1990. Hauser himself presides over a lab population of two dozen students; six vervet monkeys, all named for jazz musicians; and seventeen cotton-topped tamarins, named for such colleagues and friends as Pinker, Tufts philosopher Daniel Dennett, and Harvard anthropologist Irven DeVore (with whom Hauser co-teaches one of the most popular courses on campus, "Human Behavioral Biology," informally known as "Sex"). Slight and boyish at forty, sporting a goatee, turtleneck, and clogs, Hauser comes off more like an earnestly enthusiastic lab jockey than a recently tenured professor who has just attempted to write the book on animal minds. He's partial to words like "fun," "neat," and "wacky," and he takes the time to respond politely to "vicious" e-mail from a dog owner enraged by an excerpt from Wild Minds that appeared in Discover magazine (the dog owner insists that his pooch can count to six; Hauser's research has revealed that animal numeracy tops out at three or four). "Talking about animals is a great way of demystifying science gently," he says. "One of the great things about the field is a lot of it is so low-tech you can almost do it with your pets." =46or all his popularizing zeal, Hauser hasn't shied away from tweaking orthodoxy within his field. One of his pet projects has been to retool classic experiments in order to suggest that monkeys might be more than the dumber cousins of the great apes that they are sometimes presumed to be. Making frequent trips to Cayo Santiago, Puerto Rico, where he studies free-ranging rhesus monkeys, he is one of the few researchers to examine animals in both the lab and the field. "The real beauty," says Hauser, "is the marriage between fieldwork, where you see the true ecological and social problems that have shaped animal minds, and lab experiments, where you can get more control." Hauser was born in 1959 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where his father was a graduate student in physics at Harvard. A self-described jock who was mostly interested in "having fun," he majored in animal behavior at Bucknell, which was the only college in the country to offer such a program. His first course, based on E.O. Wilson's Sociobiology, introduced him to the adaptationist point of view. Soon he found himself puzzling over philosophical conundrums involving animals. There was Ludwig Wittgenstein's famous dictum, "If a lion could talk, we would not be able to understand him." Then there was the twist on that idea by the ape researcher David Premack, who postulated, "If a chicken had grammar, it wouldn't have anything interesting to say." Finally, there was the philosopher Thomas Nagel's famous 1974 essay, "What Is It Like to Be a Bat?" While it was certainly like something to be a bat, Nagel concluded, a description of the bat's inner world remained beyond reach. "It seemed to me at the time that any one of these ideas might be right," Hauser recalls. Despite its pessimism, Nagel's essay played a crucial role in the development of cognitive ethology. Legend has it that Nagel wrote the essay after attending a lecture by the co-discoverer of echolocation, the zoologist Donald Griffin, who sometimes released bats in his lecture halls to dramatize their ability to navigate by sonar. Griffin, in turn, was inspired by Nagel to write The Question of Animal Awareness (1976), the first in a suite of books that would challenge the behaviorist line and launch the field of cognitive ethology, a phrase Griffin coined. Griffin's Animal Thinking, published in 1984, gathered together the mounting but neglected evidence that animals from baboons to bees to shrimp often act in ways that suggest planning, intent, and awareness of other minds. Had the eminent scholar lost his mind? Reviewing Griffin's 1992 follow-up volume, Animal Minds, in The New York Times Book Review, the philosopher Helena Cronin declared that Griffin had come out as "a sentimental softie." The psychologist Hank Davis, a fierce defender of behaviorism, likened his heresies to Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses. Puzzling even to some of Griffin's sympathizers--Hauser included--was his insistence on seeing "consciousness" behind ordinary instances of intelligent behavior. Some have expressed particular bafflement at Griffin's suggestion that consciousness might help compensate for the limited storage and processing power of small-brained creatures. Griffin's observations opened rich new areas for empirical research. In the late 1970s, the primatologists Robert Seyfarth and Dorothy Cheney, a husband-and-wife team at the University of California at Los Angeles, were among the first to take up the challenge. In Kenya's Amboseli game preserve, Cheney and Seyfarth, in collaboration with ethologist Peter Marler, conducted the definitive research on one of the most astounding discoveries in animal communication--that vervets had an elaborate system of referential alarm calls that seemed to function almost like words. For example, on seeing a snake, eagle, or leopard, a vervet emits a distinct call that prompts other troupe members to take appropriate action. On hearing the "snake" alarm, troupe members stand on their hind legs and survey the surrounding grass. On hearing "eagle," they hide under a tree. "Leopard" sends them scrambling into the tree's branches. Sometimes the monkeys even use these calls deceptively--to gain the advantage in a skirmish by suddenly scaring a rival monkey up a tree, for example. (Whether such deception is truly intentional, however, is a matter of considerable ongoing debate.) Cheney and Seyfarth also discovered that despite this vocabulary, vervets were remarkably oblivious to certain aspects of their environment. They would immediately give the "snake" alarm call on seeing a snake, but the sight of a freshly laid python track seemed not to disturb them at all. In 1982 Hauser, then a graduate student, joined Cheney and Seyfarth in the field. His dissertation would build on their research. Focusing on vervet development, Hauser examined how the infant monkeys learned to heed the less specific alarm calls that starlings issued to one another. But even as he was pursuing this research, he was restless. He and some fellow graduate students organized a seminar around the question of whether behavioral ecology--the traditional study of animal behavior in the wild--was "dead." As he explains it, "We all started realizing that while the field was still exciting, people were really just finding more evidence for existing theories in different species, kind of dotting i's and crossing t's." Some of the students began fusing evolutionary theory with molecular biology. Others, like Hauser, dug deeper into neurobiology and the cognitive sciences. This turn toward neuroscience brought Hauser closer to Peter Marler, his mentors' mentor and his own hero in the field since 1970. A schoolboy at the time, Hauser had been impressed by Marler's seminal Scientific American article laying out the basic principles for comparing animal communication and human speech. In 1988, Hauser began a postdoctoral fellowship with Marler at Rockefeller University. At that point, Marler and his associates were overturning some cherished notions. For example, many researchers had held that although both humans and animals had anatomic brain asymmetries, only in humans were these asymmetries functional. Not so, Marler discovered. Japanese macaques, in fact, processed auditory signals better through their right ears (connected to the left side of the brain), in much the same way that humans favor their right ears for listening. Hauser added some interesting findings to this foundation. In 1993, working on Cayo Santiago, he found that the facial expressions of rhesus monkeys began on the left side of the face, indicating that the right hemisphere of the brain was in control. In humans, positive expressions, such as smiling, begin on the right, while negative ones, such as those indicating fear or surprise, begin on the left. Adult rhesus monkeys, oddly, only have negative expressions, Hauser argues. Even the male's copulation grimace, he says, reflects an emotion that is mixed at best, given the intensely stressful and competitive mating situation, in which high-ranking males often drive off subordinates in the middle of the act. Such observations made their way into Hauser's 1996 book, The Evolution of Communication (MIT), a 760-page survey of signals ranging from birdsong and bat echolocation to firefly flashes and primate facial expressions. Reviewers for such journals as American Anthropologist and Evolution remarked on the book's ambition, clarity, and verve, not to mention the fifteen-hundred-item bibliography. Not all linguists, however, appreciated the comparative perspective on human language. Derek Bickerton of the University of Hawaii, writing in Nature, chided Hauser for underplaying the significance of syntax, which in his view crucially distinguishes human language from birdsong and the like. Furthermore, he argued, vervet calls are not really comparable to words and thus cannot be taken to suggest that human language evolved from animal precursors. Such reactions did not surprise Hauser. In the early 1990s, he recalls, he had the "disturbing realization" that people working on human language and cognition were not interested in comparable behavior in animals. "I remember giving these talks to people who worked on humans," Hauser says. "You could tell they enjoyed hearing about animals, but it didn't really have any impact on their thinking. Although these findings on vervet communication were absolutely fundamental, linguists would write them off as not relevant to human language evolution, and cognitive scientists would see the experiment as irrelevant because it was done in the wild, using different methods." Was it even possible, Hauser wondered, to interest researchers in a collaboration across the species divide? The key, he came to believe, lay in studying animals and human infants with the same techniques. At a 1992 comparative cognition conference at Cornell, Hauser attended a talk by the developmental psychologist Ren=E9e Baillargeon, a pioneer of the so-called looking-time technique. Researchers using this method would stage a sort of magic show, observing infants to see how long they looked at phenomena that were consistent with the logical properties of the world versus those that were inconsistent. Using this technique, researchers were busy dismantling the Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget's ideas about the ages at which infants grasped such concepts as object permanence. The technique, however, had yet to cross over into the animal kingdom. "The logic was so simple and elegant," Hauser says, "I thought, I can use this on any animal." Hauser applied looking-time technique in his investigation of animal numeracy. The developmental psychologist Karen Wynn had already shown that five-month-olds understand such simple arithmetic problems as 1+1=3D2. On Cayo Santiago, Hauser staged a version of her experiment in which he showed his monkeys two bright-purple eggplants, then covered the eggplants momentarily with a screen. Once the screen was removed, the monkeys looked longer when one eggplant had mysteriously disappeared than when both remained. In another experiment, Hauser allowed the monkeys to choose between two boxes containing different quantities of fruit. Up to four versus three, they consistently went for the bigger snack--but they were unable to distinguish between larger quantities. "What's beautiful about this," Hauser says, "is that it matches precisely what's found for human infants up to a year and it matches precisely what's encoded in all natural human languages. All languages have words for one, two, and three, but often after that it's just =EBmore.'" The basic sense of number, he argues, got wired into the brain before humans diverged from other mammals. (In one of the few tossed-off speculations in Wild Minds, Hauser suggests that trade among humans produced the selective pressure in favor of our more precise counting systems.) Nonetheless, Hauser and his students remain pretty much alone in applying looking-time technique to animal studies. Some critics ask how one can tell what animals are looking at in the field, especially since, in order to avoid any chance of learning, the experiments are limited to one trial per animal. "Yes, it's an uncontrolled situation," Hauser says. "There are a thousand monkeys on the island, there are animals fighting or playing. But we run huge samples--it's not just the study of Alex the parrot or Kanzi the bonobo. If the effect is robust, the variations are going to wash out. If it's vulnerable, we get nothing. But we get really consistent results. When we get an effect, it's huge." Hauser is so confident of his numeracy results that he includes a basic sense of number in the innate universal tool kit he proposes in Wild Minds. Also in the tool kit are an understanding of the characteristics of animate versus inanimate objects and, more spectacularly, the ability to navigate through space. Many animals can find their way by means of "dead reckoning"--as when homing pigeons fly hundreds of miles over unfamiliar territory by the constantly shifting stars. Some animals, Hauser argues, also have the benefit of "cognitive maps," mental representations of their territory based on its basic geometry and landmarks. Some researchers have conducted studies suggesting that birds may understand such abstract, relative concepts as above, below, and middle--notions that some scholars have argued are dependent on language. Hauser has preliminary results indicating that tamarins may also possess these concepts. When it comes to the question of language, Hauser is cautious in making strong claims for animals. He notes that Sue Savage-Rumbaugh's controversial results with the bonobo Kanzi suggest that apes may be capable of acquiring a sort of proto grammar. He also acknowledges that we haven't gotten very far in decoding the signals that primates other than vervets use in the wild. Indeed, Hauser and the Harvard anthropologist Richard Wrangham are currently researching chimp vocalizations. At the same time, Hauser says, whatever the complexity of the chimp mind, there aren't enough "bits" of data in these grunt-exchanges to suggest that the animals are having full-blown conversations--say, about the peculiar behavior of the primatologists crouching by the bushes. "I feel pretty confident saying that the level of information exchanged is nowhere near the richness of the animals' social relationships or their representations of objects in the world," he says. "There's just no way." Ultimately, he speculates that animals are something akin to Gregor Samsa in Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis": "severely handicapped" in their ability to say what's on their minds. "These animals are whipping along with all these concepts and no vehicle to express them with," he explains. "Once that language capacity evolved in humans, what a revolution that must have been. Suddenly, all this stuff that's inside can be put outside." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Whether or not animals can be said to possess language, one can still ask: Do animals have self-awareness? Do they have beliefs? What do they understand about other animals' minds? Are they moral? Wild Minds gives these issues ample consideration, but Hauser is clearly peeved that fixation on such higher-order investigations lets chimps hog the limelight. "First, there's this idea that humans are special and animals are not. In primatology, there's the idea that chimps are special and all other apes and monkeys are not. It's true, on some of the big questions, the most interesting research has been done on chimps." But in a chimpocentric world, he says, work on monkeys often gets "sideswiped." Even on the big questions, Hauser has been trying to get his colleagues to give monkeys a closer look. In 1994 he reran Gordon Gallup's classic 1970 experiment showing that chimpanzees are able to recognize themselves in mirrors. When their heads were marked with a red dot, most of the chimps that looked in the mirror would immediately touch the mark on their heads, sometimes then sniffing their fingers. Since then, researchers have found that orangutans and bonobos--but never monkeys--are similarly able to recognize their reflections. (Curiously, only one gorilla--Koko, the celebrity signing ape--has ever passed the test.) The experiments, Hauser argued, failed to account for certain of the monkeys' species-specific attributes. Tamarins, for example, which diverged from the human and ape evolutionary line some fifty million years ago, have virtually no facial expressions and do not attend to the face as much as apes do. Therefore, he reasoned, relatively subtle markings like a small dot on their dark skin are unlikely to interest them. So Hauser used a much stronger mark, coloring his cotton-topped tamarins' spectacular tuft of white hair with flamingo-pink Manic Panic dye. Before the dye was applied, tamarins paid only brief attention to their mirrored selves. But on this extreme bad hair day, they gazed into the mirror at length, most of them touching their hair at least once. Hauser's findings set off a testy exchange with Gallup, who criticized his experimental design and rickety data. In Wild Minds, Hauser admits that when he reran the tests adjusting for various criticisms, the monkeys exhibited a "general failure." Still, he insists, "this should not be interpreted as evidence that tamarins lack self-recognition." Besides, Hauser says, his point was not just to stick up for monkeys but to argue that the mirror test is "the wrong test" of self-awareness. He cites the perplexing case of people with prosopagnosia, a rare condition that leaves a person unable to recognize her own face in a mirror. There is no evidence, he argues, that such people lack self-awareness. Mirror self-recognition, therefore, does not tell us anything about animals' "sense of self"--much less whether they are conscious, or have an awareness of death, as some have gone so far as to suggest. Still, Hauser is willing to indulge in some admittedly whimsical speculation on the question. In 1997 he observed rhesus monkeys on Cayo Santiago staring with fascination at pieces of a broken mirror. On his Web site, he suggests that the mobility of these mirrors may have enabled the monkeys to recognize themselves. "The logic might run like this: I am holding a mirror in my hand. There is another monkey's face. It can't be another monkey because I am not carrying one. It must be me." If we can't be sure whether animals are aware of themselves, it might seem even more difficult to determine whether they are aware of each other. Might primates be said to have a "theory of mind"? The term, coined by the ape researcher David Premack in 1978, generally refers to the recognition that others have beliefs and that these beliefs can differ from one's own. Although Premack's notion initially didn't spark much additional work with apes, developmental psychologists took it up with alacrity. In a classic test, a child watches while one puppet, named Sally, places a ball in a basket in the presence of another puppet, Anne. At that point, Sally leaves the room, and the child sees Anne move the ball to a box. When Sally returns, the child is asked where Sally will look for the ball. =46our-year-olds will correctly indicate the basket, the original hiding place. They understand that Sally has no way of knowing that the ball has been moved. Younger children, however, think Sally will look in the box. It seems they cannot distinguish between what they know about the situation and what Sally knows. That is, they have no theory of mind. Primate research into such questions picked up in the late 1980s. Some writers, surveying the literature, conclude that the great apes, like four-year-olds, have a theory of mind: They can grasp that others may have false beliefs. But in Wild Minds Hauser is much more skeptical. He cites, for example, one of a suite of experiments by Daniel Povinelli in which chimpanzees gestured for food just as often from trainers wearing bags over their heads or blindfolds over their eyes as from those with bags just to the side of their heads or blindfolds over their mouths. They don't seem to grasp the connection between seeing and knowing--in other words, that someone who can't see them begging doesn't know they are there. As badly as Povinelli's chimps tested, a control group of rhesus monkeys did even worse. But as Hauser points out, the ordinary monkeys were competing against an ape "dream team"--animals that had been "enculturated" through language training and intense exposure to human artifacts and situations. At the same time, he acknowledges, monkeys may not have much need for a theory of mind. Since their family groups tend not to break into smaller units, as chimps' do, and they are almost never alone, individuals rarely differ substantially in what they know. Despite his general doubts as to whether primates have a theory of mind, Hauser nonetheless offers some tentative evidence that tamarins may nominally understand that other minds can hold false beliefs. In designing a nonverbal version of the Sally-Anne test for tamarins, Hauser took a cue from the developmental psychologists Wendy Clements and Josef Perner of the University of Sussex. This duo had observed that in the classic test with human infants, before the three-year-olds answered, incorrectly, that Sally would look in the second hiding place, they would spend a moment looking at the first hiding place (where the returning Sally ought to think the ball remained). Perhaps the younger children implicitly understood that Sally held a false belief, Hauser speculated, even if they couldn't express their understanding explicitly, in words. (As the cognitive scientist in Hauser puts it, "Somewhere along the path from looking to speaking, there is a computational error.") In Hauser's test, which he carried out with his graduate student Laurie Santos, a tamarin watches as Joe enters a room. Joe eats part of an apple, hands the tamarin a piece, and then puts the rest in one of two opaque boxes. When Joe leaves, the experimenter moves the apple into the second box. Joe returns and looks for the apple. The tamarins stared longer when Joe, against logic, looked in the second box, even though he hadn't seen the apple being moved. The paper has yet to be published in a scientific journal. One critic has expressed doubts about the validity of the looking-time method for infants, let alone primates. Another asked, since we know apes don't have a theory of mind, why should we think monkeys do? Hauser calls this a "really weird" phylogenetic claim. "You wouldn't say, =EBHumans don't have echolocation, so why should bats?' We know evolution works in weird ways." Curiously, Hauser makes no mention of his theory-of-mind results with tamarins in Wild Minds. "I didn't want to give the impression that all it required was this one intelligent experiment by Hauser to show that the field was all wrong," he says. "I tried really hard not to promote things I didn't think were really solid." He mentions the best-selling books of his close friend Steven Pinker. "Steve is a very forceful writer. If you read The Language Instinct, you think, =EBOh we've got the problem of language acquisition solved.' But in fact we don't. And reading How the Mind Works, you might think evolutionary psychology has all the answers, but there's so much controversy in that field it's outrageous." For example, Pinker makes a powerful case for the "cheater detector," or the idea that humans have a built-in module for sniffing out deceivers. However, Hauser protests, "there's also so much counterevidence" that isn't discussed. Nonetheless, Hauser's notion of the mind as a collection of tools puts him squarely on Pinker's side of the fence. Not all researchers in primate--let alone human--cognition embrace this view. In his new book, The Cultural Origins of Human Cognition, Michael Tomasello of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology argues that language and other specialized skills don't reflect specialized modules. Rather, they spring from one simple, "uniquely human biological adaptation." What's important is not the full-blown understanding of false beliefs that emerges at around three and a half but what he calls "the nine-month revolution"--the understanding that others are intentional agents "like me" that emerges toward the end of the first year. It is this understanding that allows us to share "joint attention" with another person and to learn what they know. One of the most surprising differences between humans and other animals--one Hauser also emphasizes--is that only humans seem capable of true imitation. That is, imitation not just of another's actions but of his or her underlying intentions. Apes don't truly ape, and the monkey that sees doesn't necessarily do. In Tomasello's opinion, this unique human ability to understand the intentions of others is what made science possible. Understanding of invisible causal forces like "intentions" and "thoughts" evolved first to explain and predict the behavior of other people. It was then "transported" to explain the behavior of inanimate objects influenced by forces such as gravity. Strangely, our knowledge of physics and chemistry may flow from our innate grasp of psychology. Perhaps even more surprisingly, experiments with physics may help elucidate some of the more mysterious aspects of animal psychology, including the vexed question of where in the branching tree of evolution morality begins. Ever the empiricist, Hauser offers an arresting line of argument based on two very simple concepts. In one experiment, two-year-old children or adult tamarins watched a researcher drop an object down an S-shaped pipe running diagonally toward a box. Both the kids and the monkeys looked for the object directly below the point where the object was released--and not in the box, where the tube ended. They did this not just once but twenty or thirty times in a row. Children and tamarins are vulnerable to what Hauser calls "Kuhnian perseverance," or repeating an action because their theoretical framework--in this case, a "gravity bias"--drives them to do so. They are also constrained by what he calls "Cartesian perseverance." According to Descartes, rationality requires control over passionate impulses--and animals are incapable of exercising such control. As a result, animals will sometimes make the same passion-based blunders over and over again. Hauser cites experiments in which chimps and macaques, faced with a hand or box holding four treats and one holding a single treat, always picked the four treats, even when the rule of the game was that they would get whatever serving they didn't pick. Morality would seem to have little to do with pellets of food dropping down a tube. But such experiments, Hauser argues, show why animals, like children, have no role in shaping rules of conduct. "To make an ethical decision," he writes, "...we must choose between two or more alternative possibilities. Sometimes the most tempting possibility is the wrong thing to do." Although Hauser believes animals have rich emotional lives, his skepticism that animals have a true sense of self leads him to reject the notion that animals experience empathy--that is, that they not only know what other animals feel but also share in those feelings. Indeed, while there are some reports of primates appearing to grieve for the dead, there are virtually none of primates acting to comfort those in grief. But given Hauser's tendency to find evidence among his monkeys for things he's not sure he believes in more generally, perhaps it's not surprising that he's devising an experiment for empathy. The experiment will be an "ethical" version of those, conducted in the 1940s and 1950s, that examined rats' willingness to give each other nasty shocks if it meant gaining access to food. In his primate version, Hauser will play recordings of a monkey in serious distress to other monkeys. If a listening monkey exhibits neurobiological signs of distress along with an appropriate behavioral response, Hauser will consider calling it empathy. In a way, empathy is where Hauser departs most clearly from Jeffrey Masson and Elizabeth Marshall Thomas. The moral goodness of animals is precisely what books like When Elephants Weep and The Hidden Life of Dogs insist on, often with great eloquence. Some psychologists have pointed out that it is humans' own considerable ability to empathize that leads us to anthropomorphize animals--not to mention cranky computers, stalled car engines, and forces of nature.

"These findings suggest that marijuana has as much potential for abuse as drugs such as cocaine," Steven Goldberg, from the US National Institute on Drug Abuse, reports in Nature Neuroscience. Professor Goldberg and two colleagues at the institute in Maryland, trained the monkeys to press a lever 10 times to inject themselves with cocaine. When a salt solution was substituted, the monkeys gradually stopped pressing the lever. When the researchers replaced the salt solution with a solution of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the chemical in marijuana which alters mood, the monkeys returned to the lever. The monkeys gave themselves about 30 injections during a one-hour session. Prof Goldberg's team calculated that the amount of drug absorbed by the monkeys in an hour was - weight for weight - about the same as that absorbed by a human adult smoking a marijuana cigarette. Prof Goldberg said that self administration was evidence of addiction, a theory that had been tested repeatedly since the 1950s. "It has been used with any new drug, to see whether or not it has abuse potential. You check it in animals before you go on to humans. Those procedures were validated by checking virtually all psychoactive drugs. There are virtually no exceptions. Drugs that people abuse, animals intravenously self administer." But until now, the exceptions have been hallucinogens used in anti- psychotic treatments - and marijuana. There has been tentative evidence in the past that marijuana is addictive, but campaigners have been able to dismiss it as inconclusive. [...] ### Letter: Monkey business The Guardian; Manchester (UK); Oct 17, 2000; Paul Bigland; The results strike me as extremely poor science. All the tests seem to show is that monkeys enjoy getting stoned. Nothing is mentioned of the monkeys' behaviour when the supply of cannabis is withdrawn - but as this research was funded by the US government this is hardly surprising.

Because the snap of a chimp playing on the grass was taken by an exciting new photographer called Stephan...who happens to be another chimp. Stephan worked out how to operate the camera after just two days of watching wildlife photographer Andy Rouse at work. It happened when Andy was visiting the Chimfunshi chimp orphanage in Zambia, where two-year-old Stephan was taken after being found in a piece of baggage on a luggage carousel at Moscow Airport. "I was carrying Stephan around and he watched me loading the film, focussing the camera and taking pictures," said Hampshire-based Andy. "But after a couple of days he gently took the camera, held one hand round the zoom and tried to focus it, peered through the viewfinder, closed one eye and then pressed the button. He just copied everything I did. It was quite incredible." Andy, 35, who was in Zambia making a new documentary series for Channel 5, believes that Stephan's talent for photography is yet more evidence of the remarkable intelligence of apes which he has witnessed first hand. While studying orang utans at a rehabilitation centre in Borneo he claims one female called Christine treated him for a cut on his arm by pressing the two edges of the wound together. The Daily Express recently told of another orang utan that learned sign language. "The more time I spend with chimps and orang utans, the more I am convinced they have an intelligence we just do not understand," said Andy.

(AP) -- Promiscuous species of monkeys appear to have stronger immune systems than less-active ones, researchers say. ``The most sexually active species of primates may have evolved elevated immune systems as a defense mechanism against disease,'' said Charles Nunn, a University of Virginia biology researcher who led the study, published in the latest issue of the journal Science. Nunn and colleagues studied 20 years of data on 41 primate species from zoo= s around the world. They found that the most promiscuous have high levels of basal white blood cells, the body's first defense against infection. Monogamous species, like the white-handed gibbon or Titi monkey, have lower levels. Other risk factors for disease -- such as crowded living conditions or contact with other germs -- had little effect on immune response, said co-author John Gittleman, a biology professor. Humans have white blood cell counts similar to those in primarily monogamou= s species, the researchers said. Jeffrey Frelinger, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of North Carolina, said the correlation between promiscuity and higher white blood cell counts is interesting, but he cautioned that the study ``doesn't disentangle causes and effects.'' He also noted that the study looks at total white cells but doesn't examine their ability to fight infection. =20 From aringe@modernhumorist.com Tue Nov 14 12:49:34 2000 Return-Path: Received: from acorn.ggn.net ([198.207.193.1]) by franklin.oit.unc.edu with SMTP (Lyris List Manager SOLARIS/SPARC version 4.0); Tue, 14 Nov 2000 12:40:40 -0400 Received: (qmail 19349 invoked from network) by acorn.ggn.net; 14 Nov 2000 17:40:51 -0000 Received: from xcdfdc6d4.ip.ggn.net (HELO ?205.253.198.212?)

Lemurs are the most primitive primates and are among the world's most endangered species. The newly discovered lemurs represent a small but encouraging sign to conservationists. Madagascar is the world's only home to about 40 species of lemurs, including two previously known species of mouse lemurs. An international team confirmed the new varieties by genetic tests as well as by small differences in their skulls, teeth and other physical characteristics. "It's incredibly rare to discover a new species of primate, let alone three new species," said Steven Goodman of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, who participated in the study. Other participants were from Germany and Madagascar. The three newly discovered species inhabit only the dry, dense forests along the island's west coast. They are about the size of a chipmunk and weigh a few ounces. They eat beetles, fruit and plants. They are active only at night. The scientists said they also found what they believe are two more previously unknown species of mouse lemur, but the determination must be approved by an international panel of primate experts. Madagascar is a large island off Africa's east coast. Scientists believe it split off the continent about 165 million years ago and many of its plant and animal species are unique to the island. The oldest lemur fossils are about 58 million years old, making them important links in studies of the evolution of humans and other primates. Madagascar has been stripped of 90 percent of its original forests, threatening the survival of many species. Conservationists fear that 10 percent of the world's primate species, which also include humans, apes and monkeys, will go extinct in the next 10 or 20 years. - - - - - - - - - - - - From mhonan@earthlink.net Tue Nov 14 20:31:47 2000 X-Mailer: Lyris Web Interface Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2000 20:05:39 -0500 Subject: Experts say monkeys make ferocious, unmanageable pets To: monkeywire@franklin.oit.unc.edu From: "Mat Honan" By MITZI PERDUE, Scripps Howard News Service (November 14, 2000 12:01 a.m. EST http://www.nandotimes.com) - Infant monkeys are adorable and in many ways like human babies. Still, if you ever have the urge to buy one for a pet, April Truitt has some important advice for you: Don't. Truitt is the founder of the Primate Rescue Center (PRC) and knows why buying a pet monkey would be a seriously bad idea. Before we get to her reasons, though, why would anyone want a pet monkey? The answer is that, in some circles, at least, a pet monkey is a status symbol. And people who long for children or who are going through empty-nest syndrome sometimes feel that a baby monkey could fill the gap. The result is that hundreds of people in this country pay anywhere from $3,000 for a capuchin monkey to $40,000 for a female chimpanzee. It's legal to do it and you can find infant monkeys for sale on the Internet. However, if you do buy one of these animals it's just about guaranteed that you'll regret it. As Truitt says, "The media portrays them as substitute humans, but what you don't see is that these animals are capable of inflicting horrendous damage." If you're not familiar with the innate drives of monkeys, it may surprise you to know that their capacity for doing "horrendous damage" is hard-wired into them. It's the result of the monkey's hierarchical nature. When the monkey is an infant and dependent, it accepts a submissive role in the hierarchy. But as a monkey matures, it has an overwhelming instinct to wrest its way to the top of the social group. In a human family, the monkey is apt to challenge and dominate the children first, since they're the weakest. The monkey's next target is the wife and, finally, the husband. Even a capuchin monkey, one that will never weigh more than 20 pounds, can seriously injure a 200-pound man. "By the time a capuchin is 5 years old," says Truitt, "he has figured out that he has the power and the artillery to injure his human captor." The power and artillery that Truitt is referring to are the animal's teeth and nails. To see how this works in practice, take the case of Boog, a 10-year-old spider monkey who now lives at the PRC. His former owner, a woman, bought Boog as an infant, thinking he would be a darling pet. However, at age 6, Boog decided one day that he absolutely didn't want to return to his cage. He went after the woman with his inch-long razor-sharp canines and weaponlike fingernails, plus his prehensile tail. The woman suffered multiple severe gashes. What Boog did was fairly typical. Generally by the time the PRC gets a call, a monkey has inflicted injury more than once. The injuries happen because the animals challenge their social hierarchy just as they would in the wild. One of the PRC's missions is to try to educate people so they won't enter into a relationship with monkeys that's going to end badly for both. The PRC also: * Provides a sanctuary or referral to appropriate facilities. * Works to end the illegal trade in primates both in the United States and abroad. * Educates the public about the plight of primates caught in the breeder/dealer cycle. * Assists researchers and zoo personnel in finding appropriate placement for their surplus primates.

They believe the experiment could form the basis of brain-interface machines that could allow paralysed patients to move prosthetic limbs. ``It was an amazing sight to see the robot in my lab move, knowing that it was being driven by signals from a monkey brain at Duke,'' Mandayam Srinivasan, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said in a statement. ``It was as if the monkey had a 600-mile-long virtual arm.'' Scientists from MIT and Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, implanted electrodes in the monkey's brain and recorded the brain activity as the animal learned tasks and moved its limbs. In a study in the science journal Nature, they described how they fed the information into a computer and used mathematical methods to predict hand trajectories in real-time as the monkeys learned to make different types of hand movements. After the scientists were convinced the computer analysis could predict hand trajectory from brain signal patterns, they used the brain signals from the monkey as processed by the computer to allow the animal to control a robot arm. ``When we initially conceived the idea of using monkey brain signals to control a distant robot across the Internet, we were not sure how variable delays in signal transmission would affect the outcome...it worked out beautifully,'' said Srinivasan. Miguel Nicolelis, a professor of neurobiology at Duke, said the system offered hope of restoring some motor function for paralysed patients. ----------------------------------------------- FREE!

"These monkeys are harmless, other than the fact that they don't like cigarettes, which cause cancer," office worker Richard Rajev raged. "If the smokers don't like them, let them work elsewhere. Those monkeys will go over our dead bodies." The Post revealed yesterday how a fearless army of 2-foot-tall brown monkeys are terrorizing smokers at the Sahara India building in Patna. They march around in single file, pouncing on and vigorously slapping anybody who lights up, as well as stealing cigarette packs out of their coats. And now the monkey crisis has turned worker against worker, with smokers calling for a local zoo to catch the playful beasts and lock them away - an idea that has non-smokers going ape. Some of the workers consider the monkeys sacred - and they are revered by many in India for assisting the Hindu god Ram in defeating the demon king Ravan. The smoke-free simians have even managed to make a couple smokers quit the habit, workers say. "Many people who fall prey to these wandering monkeys don't tell their tales of woe, as they do not want to become a laughingstock," said Ramakant Prasad, a computer professional. The anti-smoking faction may soon have some substantial muscle on their side, in the form of one of India's cancer-research groups. The group is said to be considering an anti-smoking campaign revolving around the monkeys in which they re-create scenes of the beasts attacking those who light up. One of the slogans being considered is: "Cancer is nothing to monkey around with."

Zoo following his birth in 1989, is doing well in his new home at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago and settling in socially with the other gorillas at the zoo's Great Ape House. There was even a celebration for his first birthday - the first ever held for an animal at the zoo - featuring a birthday cake made of apples, bananas, grapes, raisins, celery, carrots and other fruits and vegetables. Human party-goers got to sample a special gorilla fruit salad themselves, and the Southern Piedmont Children's Choir was on hand to sing ''Happy Birthday'' to him. Visitors, particularly children, brought birthday cards, which hung on a special display in the lobby of the African Pavilion, Kwanza's home.

Their amazing story is told in the book, Molly's Zoo, which is published today. Molly's chimps famously appeared in the Brooke Bond tea TV adverts for 20 years. Feature writer CATHERINE TURNER spent an afternoon at Molly's Zoo. CONSERVATIONISTS Molly Badham and Natalie Evans bought Twycross Zoo for just pounds 12,000 in 1963. They borrowed money from the bank - and cleared the overdraft in two years. The two women decided to move from their bungalow in Hints, Staffordshire, because they needed bigger premises to house their growing collection of wild animals. The property consisted of 20 acres of farm land and a "hideously decorated" red-brick Victorian manor house. "The stairs and hall walls were painted egg yellow and pea green!" laughs Molly. Wooden farm buildings and stables were converted into animal enclosures. Over the years adjoining fields and cottages for keepers were bought. "In the early days we had so many firsts," says Molly. "In 1969 we had Britain's first Colobus monkey born in captivity." Twycross Zoo is now the fifth largest zoo in the country and has a captive breeding programme. This year a record 500,000 people came to visit the 80 -acre site. There are gorillas, sea-lions, elephants, giraffes, reptiles, birds, penguins, bonobos and monkeys, overseen by 42 devoted keepers. But of all the animals the chimpanzees have a special place in Molly's heart. Molly saw her first monkey, Sambo, in the window of Natalie's shop in 1949. "From that moment a lifetime love-affair with monkeys and primates began," says Molly. Unfortunately Sambo, a Woolly monkey, was sickly and died shortly afterwards. But it led to Molly and Natalie buying their first chimp, Sue. Molly said: "Chimps are so responsive. They are so clever, they are devious. They are the animals I have the most empathy with. "You can talk to them as if they were a person and they know exactly what you mean. They become very attached to you "Our first, Sue, was brilliantly clever but unsafe with people, the second Mickey was the reverse - he loved everyone but was not very bright." Molly and Natalie shared a flat with the two chimps until one day they came home from lunch to find the cheeky pair throwing all their belonging out of the window and a huge crowd gathered outside. "I can still see my pink silk knickers hanging from a telegraph wire now!" laughs Molly. In the beginning they were seen as two "eccentric and gullible" women soft enough to buy sick and unwanted monkeys and chimps Molly said: "We had six or seven chimps when we first came here. Apart from two they were all rescue jobs. In those days it was easy to get wild animals from anywhere, there were no controls." But over the years their reputation grew. Gerald Durrell the naturalist, author of My Family and Other Animals, and founder of Jersey Zoo, entrusted them to look after his only chimp Chumleigh for a year "Chumleigh was totally spoiled," said Molly. "He arrived with a hamper full of kids' clothes from Harrods. He was such a naughty chimp and would not stop screaming." Molly and Natalie were also very good friends with the late TV presenter Johnny Morris - star of Animal Magic. "Johnny was due here on the day he died. His death was a great loss to the zoo world. We went to his funeral," she added. Molly's chimps were chosen to appear in the Brooke Bond TV adverts for 20 years. "Our chimps were superstars. We used to go to tea-parties in supermarkets and police had to control crowds of screaming people. The chimps we used were very nice and kind, most were born in the zoo." Two of her favourites were Rosie and Sam. "Rosie was undoubtedly one of the most intelligent and good-natured chimps we ever had," Molly says in the book. She also starred in a Hammer Horror film with Peter Cushing and In the Dog House with Hattie Jaques and Leslie Phillips. Sadly Rosie died young at 15 years of heart trouble. Sam was a "delightful little chimp" who was short and thick set. Molly said: "We used to say to him 'Sam Small. Not very tall, at all'. And he would smile mischievously at us and raise his eyebrows. He never forgot that jingle and the same expression would come over his face when we recited it years after." The revenue earned by the chimps was "invaluable" and helped to subsidise the animals and new buildings. Red-haired Molly is a tiny, well-spoken, energetic and sprightly lady, who does not like to reveal her age. Driving me around the zoo in her white hatchback Molly accidentally scrapes the side of the car onto an animal enclosures. "Oh not again," she sighs. Hurriedly she changes gear and instead of driving on the concrete path she heads off-road through a gap in-between two trees over the grass. She is the boss after all. In each enclosure we visit she talks in an animated fashion to all the animals "hello", "Ooh go on - show us your teeth", "Good boy" and "What y'a doin?". She is the Midlands very own Dr Dolittle. I was interested to hear about her childhood. Molly was born in Evesham. The names of her parents have slipped her mind. "They have been dead a long time," she says. Her father was a nature cure practitioner. "He had the gift of healing. He built up an enormous practice and even went out to work in South Africa." Her mother was a housewife. Molly also has a younger brother, Donald. Molly loved animals from an early age. "I always was allowed to have pets - I had two dogs," she said. Molly lives in the red-brick Victorian house, now tastefully decorated, with Natalie and a French bull dog Bugsy. This is the first year they are not raising chimps in the house. "We have put a stop to breeding chimps. We have 32. Most of the females are on the pill," she said. Her love of primates is clearly evident in the living room. Over the fireplace is a specially commissioned painting of the zoo's first baby gorilla, Ozala, and on the wall opposite, Joe, the zoo's oldest gorilla, now 36. All along the mantelpieces sit monkey statuettes, a goldplated plaque which reads 'A wise monkey is a monkey who doesn't monkey with another monkey's monkey' and an achievement award from the Zoological Federation of GB and Ireland. Molly says: "It's been a great life but I didn't think you could earn a living. It's a very expensive place to run. "I love the companionship of the animals - they always acknowledge you. "We are so lucky we have been able to make a success of it - it makes it worthwhile "It's appalling that so many animals are now endangered. I think it's jolly good that zoos have been successful in breeding worldwide." Molly's Zoo, published by Simon and Schuster, costs pounds 15.99.

Aussie Frank - who has twice married Pat, sister of Irish peer Lord Waterpark (they divorced in 1954 after four years and remarried in 1969)- has never much liked Kalu, whom he once found smoking one of his cigarettes and drinking beer from a can. 'Kalu takes off the filter tips and can open a can of beer or a bottle. She's frightfully clever,' Pat tells me. The 'ape', as Frank calls the chimp, was rescued in 1985 from the war-ravaged former Zaire after Pat heard that she had been left tied to a tree outside the home of the Argentine consul general, who had fled the country. Pat, 75, who has decided to leave her estate to the Jane Goodall Institute, says: 'I sent money so that someone could look after Kalu while I arranged for the necessary permits to bring her to South Africa. She was traumatised and terrified when she arrived.' Now Kalu, who lives in a fenced-off area beside Broadlands house, will be joined by more than four dozen other chimps under the care of Professor Peter Gray, the institute's South African trustee. Last week, he moved from the University of Witwatersrand and awaits planning permission for a primate sanctuary. Pat has also provided for her farm-workers - including one who sleeps in a room off Kalu's quarters - but says that the farm will belong to Kalu and the other animals (she has 56 rescue dogs, peacocks and 22 baboons) until they die. She formerly lived in Kenya near the Somali border with just a lioness for company. 'Kalu can live to the age of 60, which is way past my expectancy,' says Pat. 'So you see why I had to do it. I could not bear the thought of what might happen to the animals after I died.'

Do you have anything better to do on a Tuesday night? I didn't think so. Also on 12/5 on Animal Planet at 5 pm, "Wild Rescues" shows a chimpanzee rescued from the clutches of death by some stalwart zoo keepers. Like "ER," but with a monkey. 12/6 on UPN at 2 am, "Monkey Trouble," everyone's favorite UPN show, except, maybe, "Moesha," introduces us to a nine-year-old girl who's aiding and abetting her pet monkey who is a fugitive after working in cahoots with a Gypsy hustler. Also airs on 12/10. This week's absolute Must See: 12/7 on TBS at 8:05 pm, "Any Which Way You Can," the 1980 not-quite-classic, but certainly genre-making trucker/monkey movie starring Clint Eastwood as a trucker with a brawling Orangutan sidekick. Dirty Harry's nothing compared to this guy. If you miss the Wednesday night showing, don't worry, it's on Thursday night, too. 12/8 on Animal Planet at 5:30, "Animal Encounters with Jim Fowler," Jim Fowler continues his African Animals series by staging an intervention for a St. Elsewhere-addicted Colobus monkey. I mean, except for that St.Elsewhere intervention part. Also on 12/8, but on USA at 10 am, catch reruns of Christina Applegate's failed comeback vehicle, "Jesse," with an episode called "Students get Flu, Carrie at Zoo, Monkey Throws Poo." With such witty writing, it really makes you wonder why the show got canceled. 12/9 on Fox at 9 am, "Awesome Adventures" goes to Malaysia and the island of Borneo to see Orangutans in native costume performing local dances. Or something like that. 12/10 on Animal Planet at 9:30 am, "Crocodile Hunter's Croc Files' Monkey Around" continues the tour of primate life including chimps, baboons, gorillas and macaques. No poo throwing here. Er, maybe. Also on 12/10 on Animal Planet at 2:30 pm, "Jim Henson's Animal Show" featuring Colobus monkeys. I'm not sure if they are puppets or real, though. And our runner up for this week's Must see: 12/10 on Comedy Central at 10 pm, "The Man Show" has Jimmy marrying a Chimpanzee. Instead of throwing rice do you think they'll throw...Nah. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Researchers studying a group of wedge-capped capuchin monkeys that live in tropical forests of central Venezuela have discovered that the monkeys protect themselves against the annual merciless onslaught of mosquitoes exactly as humans do: by rubbing themselves with mosquito repellent. But while humans may reach desperately for spritzers or bottles or laughably overhyped "protective" skin-so-softeners, the capuchins have learned to poke around in tree bark or termite mounds to extract a wriggling specimen of Orthoporus dorsovittatus, a millipede rich with powerful defensive chemicals called benzoquinones. The triumphant monkey will then proceed to anoint itself head to foot with the repellent secretions by massaging the four-inch-long millipede into its fur. And just as the benzoquinones discourage virtually all insects from harassing the millipedes, so the transferred chemicals appear to protect capuchins against the mosquitoes that otherwise would descend on them during the rainy season in sopranic clouds of misery. The new work offers the most persuasive evidence yet that nonhuman primates are industrious chemical prospectors, putting organic materials to good medicinal use. Other researchers have suggested that primates use plant products as antibiotics, analgesics, even hallucinogenics. But because most of the plant materials that primates have been observed to dabble with are chemically complex, composed of hundreds if not thousands of compounds, it has been difficult for scientists to demonstrate that the animals were seeking a specific ingredient from any given sample. In the new study, the researchers were able to demonstrate that the millipede secretion consists of only two chemicals, both in the benzoquinone family and both known to be potent insect repellents. Moreover, they demonstrated that the use of millipedes for fur anointment corresponds closely with the annual peak in mosquito populations. "We think this is the clearest case yet" of an animal's using organic material for medicinal purposes, said Ximena Valderrama of Columbia University. "We're fortunate that the chemical analysis leaves very little room for doubt." Ms. Valderrama, a graduate student in anthropology, is the principal author of the new report, which appears in the December issue of the journal Chemical Ecology. Her co-authors are Dr. John G. Robinson of the Wildlife Conservation Society, located at the Bronx Zoo, and Dr. Thomas Eisner and Dr. Athula B. Attygalle of Cornell, who performed the chemical analysis of the secretions. Nicknamed the "chimpanzees" of the New World for their high intelligence, capuchins are the famed organ-grinder monkeys, their fur a mottled grayish brown, their faces expressive and distinctively marked. They live in forests throughout Central and South America, congregating in hierarchically structured groups of maybe 25 to 35 individuals. Dr. Robinson first observed the odd millipede massage behavior when he began studying a capuchin group at the Fundo Pecuario Masaguaral reserve in Venezuela in 1977, but it was not until Ms. Valderrama devoted herself to studying it full time that the precise nature of the ritual became clear. As it happens, the monkeys have a real need of insect repellent. Beyond the obvious annoyance factor, mosquitoes also serve as vectors of the parasitic bot fly, delivering fly eggs beneath a monkey's skin that then form debilitating, festering cysts in which maggots develop until they are mature enough to burst free. Given the bot fly risk, it seems, the capuchins are willing to take risks of their own: the benzoquinones that they apply to their fur, Dr. Eisner said, are many times stronger and more toxic than the most powerful "deep woods" mosquito repellent the United States Army can supply. Nevertheless, a capuchin will often pop a millipede into its mouth before anointment, presumably to help release the secretions. When Dr. Eisner tried the same feat, Ms. Valderrama said, "He immediately fell to his knees, it was so painful and irritating." Yet, while a monkey may drool and its eyes glaze over from the millipede mouthing, it sets to work anointing itself forthwith. In addition to its medicinal value, millipede rubbing also serves as a social lubricant. The monkeys engage in rubdowns practically en masse, passing a single millipede from one to another. "You'll see one or more monkeys looking frenzied and agitated, their bodies contorted as they're patting themselves all over," said Ms. Valderrama. And should a monkey insist on bogarting its millipede, the other monkey simply rubs its body against the anointed one's fur to pick up some stray secretions. Of interest to the researchers is the egalitarian nature of the millipede ritual. Whereas the monkeys normally hew to strict hierarchies when it comes to who gets the best food and who grooms whom, there are no obvious top or rotten bananas in the sharing of millipede secretions. The researchers have yet to demonstrate that the use of millipedes prevents bot fly infestation among monkey participants. They also do not yet know if the use of insect repellent is common among capuchins, or is limited to the intensively studied group at the Venezuelan reserve. There, at least, the custom is entrenched, and for all the demonstrated carcinogenicity of benzoquinone, the capuchins do not appear to have suffered long-term consequences from exposure to it, many of them living more than 30 years. As the infant monkeys learn early on, the family that sprays together, stays together.

The offbeat project is about a crocodile hunter who's tapped to host a TV show in Los Angeles. The host is forced to adapt to the big city while getting to know his on-air sidekick: a talking orangutan with attitude. ``He's a product of Hollywood, like Charlie Sheen with fur,'' said Alan Cohen, who is developing the project with Alan Freedland. ``One of the ways we're pitching it is, it's a buddy comedy about a human who knows more about animals and an orangutan who knows more about humans.'' Cohen and Freedland plan to use computer imagery to bring the show's ape to life. The duo serve as co-executive producers of ``King of the Hill.'' They snagged Emmys last year when the show won the outstanding animated program (one hour or less) category. Their deal to create a pilot for the crocodile hunter project is part of a multiyear, overall development deal with producer 20th Century Fox Television. The pact is pegged in the low seven figures. Cohen and Freedland are also developing a comedy revolving around a BBC documentary filmmaker who moves in with an all-American family in Kenosha, Wis.

The monkey, Winston, was with a caregiver at the time at a local Home Depot= , said Winston's owner, Mary Myrick. "The boy was bitten =AD- it did break the skin -=AD so it counts as a bite for our purposes," Jeff Allen with Oklahoma City Animal Control said. On Monday, Animal Control tracked down Winston through the Exotic Animals Registry to Myrick's place of business. Officers tried to seize the monkey for observation, and then things got ugly. Office workers were outraged. One woman was arrested for assaulting an animal control worker. "It was a pretty uncontrollable atmosphere and it was very frightening," Myrick said. Eventually, police and animal welfare took Winston for observation. He has since been returned to Myrick, who was hoping for a better result. "By the standards that they were dealing with, it appears to me that if you had a pet hamster, and you went next door and he bit someone, he could be classified as a vicious animal." The 12-year-old boy that Winston nipped is doing fine. The monkey is now under a 30-day home quarantine to make sure he does not have any diseases. --=20 Jack Szwergold | jack@royaljournal.com | AIM: RoyalJack2001 Royal Journal | http://www.royaljournal.com/ "Remember, when you're searching for that special someone to help you or a close friend buy or sell Real Estate, call ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE BILL."

A couple weeks ago there was a lovely television program about the Japanese Macaque Monkey (Snow Monkey). They are the monkeys with red faces that you often see covered with snow, or in hotsprings on postcards from Japan. Adorable aren't they? They may be, but the television program painted a different picture of them. They have become the nuisance of northern Japan. Among the worst of their crimes they are breaking into houses and helping themselves to the food in the kitchens. Town residents have been forced to change the locks on both their front doors and add them to their refrigerators, and not even that helps all of the time. "The monkeys think they are people," according to an old woman who experienced monkey trouble first hand. Of course the entire reason they are a problem at all is the snow monkeys are a national treasure of Japan, and thus they can't be shot and served with a cold beer at the local yakitori bar. How Japan will solve this problem is anyone's guess, but we're sure it won't be quite like other monkey solutions in the rest of the world. Our guess is Japan may become the front line of the robot - monkey war.

The 29-year-old ape known as Ken Allen was euthanized at 11:05 a.m., said Doug Myers, executive director of the San Diego Zoological Society. Zoo officials had announced this week that Ken Allen was dying of lymphoma, which had been diagnosed in October. The ape was born at the zoo to Borneo orangutans Bob and Maggie. In the 1980s, Ken Allen made three escapes from the orangutan enclosure, briefly enjoying freedom before he was caught by zoo workers. Other orangutans followed his lead. Zoo workers attempted to go undercover, dressing as tourists, to see how the apes climbed over the wall, but the orangutans were not fooled. They waited until the surveillance ended before trying again.

At 34 years old, 240-pound Debbie has, as do most adult female gorillas, a significant potbelly. About six months ago, she showed signs of suffering severe cramping during her monthly cycle. That can be an indication of tumor growths, but zoo veterinarians didn't know how they might penetrate her girth to take a look. Thursday morning, Acuson, a company that makes hospital diagnostic ultrasound machines, came to the zoo to solve the problem. Acuson employees came to the Great Ape House wheeling a $500,000 device they call the Sequoia, the deepest penetrating sonogram--or ultrasound--machine made. The company designed the machine, said Acuson executive David Amidei, because of the alarming trend of increasing obesity in America. Doctors have complained that earlier ultrasound machines, devices that use sound waves to make diagnostic images of internal organs and fetuses, cannot penetrate increasingly thick layers of fat on their patients. About four years ago, the company came up with the Sequoia. "We've used it [the Sequoia] on whales, and it works," Amidei said as he and sonographer David Schmitarrived with the machine. "We've used it on really big people, and it works. Today we're going to see if it works on a gorilla." Born in Cameroon in 1966, Debbie came to the zoo as an infant with a group of other wild-born gorillas purchased to begin a breeding colony. All of the other gorillas proved successful sires and mothers, but Debbie, though sexually active, never got pregnant. Instead, she became one of the few stepmother gorillas anywhere. Zoo-born babies occasionally have to be taken from their mothers because of maternal rejection or ill health to be raised by humans for their first 18 months or so. Debbie has taken 10 human-reared toddler gorillas and raised them as her own, making her invaluable. "Debbie is getting to be pretty old for a gorilla," said Ann Manharth, Lincoln Park's veterinarian who watches over the zoo's great apes. "She's at an age where we aren't surprised to see serious health problems cropping up. Zoo staffers became worried about the pain Debbie seemed to be suffering each month. The zoo called in Dr. Marc Feldstein, a Northwestern Memorial Hospital obstetrician/gynecologist who has donated his expertise examining other apes and monkeys at Lincoln Park. On Thursday, the volunteer medical personnel set up their equipment in the ape house kitchen at the core of the circular building. Keepers, who have been training all their apes and chimps to cooperate in medical procedures by presenting their arms for injections, put Debbie under with powerful anesthetics in a nearby holding cage. Debbie was wheeled into the kitchen on a gurney. Keepers stood by her sleeping Debbie's head, monitoring her vital signs, while another zoo veterinarian, Natalie Mylkniczenko, used the opportunity to clean the gorilla's teeth. "This is the only real hands-on chance we get with our animals, so we try to do everything we can, from dental cleaning to blood samples," said Manharth. She and other zoo officials closely watched a computer monitor on the ultrasound machine as the doctor and sonographers brought up images of Debbie's uterus, ovaries, pelvis, abdomen and kidneys, gallbladder and heart. Amidei said he wasn't surprised at how well the machine was working. His company's machine can make images of soft tissue up to 14 inches below the skin surface, he said, an improvement of older machines that can penetrate up to 9.5 inches. Within two hours, the exam was over. The whole thing was recorded digitally, so researchers can delve into the mystery of Debbie's reproductive problems. The most pressing issue, however, is Debbie's health. Feldstein was able to allay at least the worst fears of her keepers before he left the ape house. "There is no indication of anything seriously being wrong with her health," he said. "The lining of her uterus is normal, but there is a small, fibroid cyst under her right ovary. It's benign, nothing dangerous." "She should do the same thing I tell my human patients who I see with the same problem. The next time she cycles, her keepers should give her some ibuprofen."

Zoo. the gorilla dubbed the "reluctant Romeo" for his inability to sire a baby at the North Carolina Zoo and others across the country - is finally going to be a dad. Since 1978, zoo keepers in Asheboro, Philadelphia and Miami had hoped that Ramar, a 365-pound male Western lowland gorilla, would sire a baby. But Ramar was unsuccessful until he was moved to Chicago's Brookfield Zoo and placed with six females. Though Brookfield officials never actually saw him monkey around, they don't need a paternity test. Baraka, a 10-year-old female, is pregnant with her first baby, due in March, and Ramar, 32, is the only male gorilla at the zoo. "Maybe now he'll be known as Ramar the Triumphant," said Rod Hackney, spokesman for the N.C. Zoological Park. Ramar was born in the wild in Africa and brought to the United States as a nightclub act. He made at least one appearance on "The Merv Griffin Show" before getting so large his trainer couldn't handle him. He tried out for the classic American Tourister luggage commercial, but lost the gig when he manhandled the baggage, Hackney said. Ramar became the star attraction at the N.C. Zoo in the mid-1970s and again in the 1980s and '90s when he was brought back to the permanent African exhibit at the zoo. He spent years with a female gorilla named Hope, who was later paired with another male gorilla in a zoo-made love triangle that eventually made Hope a mother. Ramar was popular, and many people criticized N.C. Zoo officials for sending him away. But Hackney said it was important to place Ramar in an environment where he could breed. "We made the right decision," he said.

Officials said that in two months four-year-old Raju had dispatched scores of monkeys from Nirman Bhawan, in the city centre. For the first time in years employees could now move around without being set upon. Nicknamed Rambo for his aggressive tactics, Raju growled menacingly at the marauding monkeys, charged at them and, at times, fought them. His keeper, Shyam Kumar, is being paid Rs5,000 ( pounds 67) a month for Raju's services. The rhesus monkeys had been biting people, smashing windows, tearing up files and stealing lunch boxes. Shooting them was ruled out as Hindus associate monkeys with Hanuman, the monkey god who helped Lord Rama.

Surly Simians Run Amok in Indian Capital - (Reuters) N E W D E L H I, Jan. 9 Thousands of monkeys are creating havoc in the corridors of power in the Indian capital, barging into government offices, stealing food, threatening bureaucrats, and even ripping apart valuable documents. The increasingly aggressive animals swing effortlessly between the offices of the defense, finance and external affairs ministries, and have even been spotted in the prime ministers office, government officials say. They are moving in very high security areas, said defense ministry officer I.K. Jha. According to estimates by officials, there are at least 10,000 monkeys scampering in and around the stately red sandstone buildings just a stones throw from the grand presidential palace. Can't Kill Sacred Monkeys But officials say there is little they can do to deal with the monkey invasion of the government buildings, built by the countrys British rulers before India won independence in 1947. Killing the animals is not an option because monkeys have a sacred status in Indias main religion, Hinduism. Authorities used to capture the monkeys and ship them to neighboring states. But that option now is closed because many states say they have enough trouble coping with their own monkey population. Humans vs. Simians Two years ago, the government had a high-level meeting to seek a permanent solution to the problem. Suggestions ranged from setting up a separate park for captured primates to monkey contraception. But little has been done since then and government employees still walk warily to work armed with sticks and stones to prevent monkey attacks. I am sometimes faced with groups of monkeys, big huge looking fellows, said government employee Surekha Rao. What I do is make some noise with my shoes so the monkey moves away. Animal rights activists say the main problem isnt the rising number of monkeys but the growing population of humans. We have encroached on their homelands, we have taken away their fruits, we have reduced their water sources and we are trapping them from their home range, from their forests, so they are coming to the urban areas, said rights activist Iqbal Malik. --------------- j -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeremy Kingfish Salmon jdsalmon@engin.umich.edu www.umich.edu/~jdsalmon/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The All Out Attack!

Researchers said they hoped the technique would help them produce monkeys with Alzheimer's disease, breast cancer, hereditary blindness and other ailments against which new therapies or vaccines could be tested. "There are fantastic discoveries now being made from studies of human diseases in mice," said Gerald Schatten, who with Anthony W.S. Chan led the research at the Oregon Regional Primate Research Center in Beaverton. "We're optimistic that genetically modified primates can translate some of those discoveries in mice safely and swiftly to people." Scientists have made gene-altered fruit flies, rabbits, sheep, goats, cattle, pigs and other animals since the first such animal, a mouse, was created in 1976. The work involves adding genes from one species into the egg or early embryo of another species so the foreign DNA ends up in many or all of the developing animals' cells. Although the approach has proven very useful for genetic research, it has also stirred fears that similar techniques might someday be used to add desirable traits to human embryos, heralding a new era of "designer babies." Already, many fertility clinics offer tests that allow parents to choose embryos free of unwanted traits (such as disease genes) or carrying desirable traits (such as a tissue type that will make the newborn a useful organ donor for a sibling). But although some coveted human genes have been discovered -- such as the gene for human growth hormone, which could help a child grow to otherwise unachievable height -- no one has actually inserted such a gene into a human embryo. That's because of ethical concerns -- and because there has not been a monkey model on which to practice. The gene-altered monkey, born in Oregon last October and described in =46riday's issue of the journal Science, is endowed with jellyfish genes. Th= e jellyfish DNA has no medical value but is a popular tool with genetic engineers because it makes animals glow green when they're exposed to blue light, offering quick and dramatic evidence that a gene-transfer method works. A stillborn monkey in the Oregon experiment did sport fluorescent green fingernails and hair. But its live-born counterpart does not glow, even though tests show the jellyfish genes are present throughout its body. That means the foreign genes are functioning poorly or not at all in the monkey, experts said, and suggests that the technique is still not refined enough to make truly useful gene-altered monkeys -- much less genetically enhanced babies. Indeed, several scientists doubted the method would ever work well, saying newer techniques already under development offered more promise for making genetically altered monkeys. Some critics opposed to genetic modification of humankind's close cousins and concerned about a slide down an ethical slippery slope, said that even if the method could be made to work in monkeys they'd oppose its use. "Before it was mice. Now, monkeys -- both cloned and gene-altered," said Eric Kleiman, research director of Defense of Animals, an international animal advocacy group based in Mill Valley, Calif. "It's pretty clear who is next. And it will be just as reprehensible when people are manufactured to suit experimenters." Schatten said he opposed any human applications. "We certainly don't support any extrapolation or extension of this kind of work to human beings," he said. To engineer the monkey, Schatten's team stuffed copies of a foreign gene, in this case the gene for jellyfish green fluorescent protein (GFP), into specialized viruses called retroviruses. Then they injected those viruses into hundreds of unfertilized monkey eggs. There the viruses did what they do naturally: They inserted their genes, including the GFP gene, into the egg cell's DNA. The researchers fertilized the gene-altered eggs with monkey sperm, then transferred some of the resulting embryos into the wombs of surrogate mother monkeys. The method is not very efficient. Of 222 gene-altered eggs to which sperm were added, 126 grew into embryos in laboratory dishes. Of 40 embryos that were transferred to 20 surrogate mothers (two embryos per mother), just five pregnancies resulted -- one of them twins. Of those six fetuses, three were born live. And only one of those -- named ANDi, a backward abbreviation for "inserted DNA" -- contained any jellyfish genes. Several scientists questioned whether key hurdles could be overcome with the Oregon method. Retroviruses are notorious for inserting their genes in unpredictable locations, often disrupting useful genes or landing in places where the new genes won't work, said John Gearhart of the Johns Hopkins University. Moreover, he said, Schatten has not shown that the jellyfish gene is present in ANDi's sperm cells -- a prerequisite if the new trait is to be passed on to offspring. Even if the genes are in ANDi's sperm (which can't be known for sure until four years from now, when he becomes sexually mature), those genes would probably be dormant in the next generation, said Rudolf Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Mass., who made the first so-called transgenic mouse. That's because new genes inserted by retroviruses almost always shut down in an animal's offspring -- yet another reason why creators of transgenic animals today do not like to use retroviruses. "That problem has not even been resolved in the mouse after more than 20 years of work, so I'm not very optimistic that it is going to be resolved in the monkey," said Jaenisch, who sees stem cells and cloning as far more promising tools for making useful transgenic animals. Another problem is that many disease genes, such as those for muscular dystrophy and common hemophilia, for example, are too big to fit inside a retrovirus. "The whole transgenic field has moved away from retroviruses because the packaging size is very limited," said David Ayares, vice president for research at PPL Therapeutics in Blacksburg, Va., which is producing cloned, gene-altered pigs for possible use as organ donors for people. Schatten acknowledged that the work's ultimate value remains uncertain given the technical drawbacks, the high cost of working with monkeys, and the ethical issues raised by their genetic engineering. "This is proof of principle," he said. "The jury is still out as to how or even if nonhuman primates should contribute to the discovery of molecular medical cures." One thing everyone seemed to agree on is that it's too soon to think about adding genes to human embryos. "I don't see this in its present state as being anything we'd ever want to do with human beings, although it's another step in that direction," said David Baltimore, president of the California Institute of Technology. =A9 2001 The Washington Post From carrie@stayfreemagazine.org Fri Jan 12 11:19:31 2001 Return-Path: Received: from mclean.mail.mindspring.net ([207.69.200.57]) by franklin.oit.unc.edu with SMTP (Lyris List Manager SOLARIS/SPARC version 4.0); Fri, 12 Jan 2001 11:19:23 -0500 Received: from [165.121.64.126] (user-2inig9d.dialup.mindspring.com [165.121.65.45]) by mclean.mail.mindspring.net (8.9.3/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA10640 for ; Fri, 12 Jan 2001 11:19:23 -0500 (EST) X-Sender: stayfree@mail.metalab.unc.edu Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2001 11:18:54 -0400 To: monkeywire@franklin.oit.unc.edu From: Carrie McLaren Subject: Gorilla King steps into new habitat The Associated Press State & Local Wire January 4, 2001, Thursday, BC cycle HEADLINE: Gorilla King steps into a large natural habitat after 20 years in a cage BYLINE: By KATIA BORDY, Associated Press Writer DATELINE: MIAMI BODY: King got a new home for Christmas. For 20 years, the 450-pound western lowland silverback gorilla lived in a 40-by-15 foot cage at Miami's Monkey Jungle. Three days after Christmas, King's stepped into his new home - a $100,000 re-creation of an oval-shaped hardwood hammock that's almost the size of a football field. "My heart sunk into my stomach when he exited that door," said Sharon DuMond, owner of Monkey Jungle. A crowd of about 30 of King's human friends, contractors and family members of the Monkey Jungle staff gathered outside the fence to watch the gorilla check out his new home. "I think everybody's heart stopped for a moment," said Monkey Jungle director Steve Jacques. John Coe, who designed King's habitat, said he chose to leave the enclosure in its natural state so King could manicure it to his own liking. Soon after moving into the new home, King started pulling out vines, moving logs around and digging up soil. "It's so wonderful to see him walk out, to look around. It's a nice feeling to see him play with the dirt and the roots and see him cut his own vines and leaves that he wants to eat," said Tina Casquarelli, King's personal trainer. The designer incorporated the cage into the habitat to make sure King would feel at home. "He made his little nest in his favorite spot, 20 feet from the door where he's not visible to people," said DuMond. "We wanted to make sure he felt secure at all times." King's owners introduced him to the habitat "baby step by baby step." First, he was allowed to walk into the tunnel leading to the new home. The following morning, the door was opened and King was able to step inside the new home. The first day, he stayed close to the door and retreated to his cage a few times. "Remember, he has his TV, CDs, all the stuff he always had. I believe he went back in there to check on it," said Jacques. King's release has been a center of interest for years as Animal Rights Foundation, The Progressive Animal Welfare Society and others campaigned relentlessly to obtain King's release from the confinement of his cage. Celebrities, including primatologist Jane Goodall and former Saturday Night Live cast member Kevin Nealon, lobbied for his release. State Rep. Christopher Smith, D-Fort Lauderdale, also urged the transfer of King to Zoo Atlanta. DuMond fought to keep King at Monkey Jungle. She chose Coe to design the habitat because he was instrumental in designing Zoo Atlanta, known as the premier facility in the world for socializing once-solitary male gorillas in a natural habitat. Even with the new habitat, animal rights activists are still concerned about King's welfare. "I really feel it ignores the issue that King is still alone. It's definitely an improvement. That's for sure," said Brett Wyker, outreach coordinator for Animal Rights Foundation. "He needs more space, yes, but more importantly, he needs a companion." DuMond argues that it's difficult to give King a companion because his teeth were removed before her mother bought him in 1979. Aside from caving King's mouth inward, it took away his natural means to assert dominance, mainly toward females. DuMond said she may try to find a docile female as a companion once she knows King is completely comfortable in his new home.

For every "Cabin Boy" there are 1,347 "Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo"s. One lowbrow equation, however, is a proven theorem: Monkeys = funny. Having considered "Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp" the peak of quality television entertainment, I was justifiably giddy to learn that TBS would be producing a half-hour weekly series called The Chimp Channel. Since the "sit" in this "com" would be apes running a TV station, viewers would get both a window on backstage showbiz hijinks and a satire of boob tube offerings. Like SCTV, only simian. Co-creator Tom Stern, a writer with a specialty in chimp-specific work, helped popularize the primate parody concept in a series of 1998 promos from TBS. In "Monkey-ed Movies," apes re-enacted scenes from TBS's stable of classic films, running the gamut from Gone With the Wind to Saturday Night Fever to Braveheart. They proved so popular--America, after all, loves a monkey, and a clothed chimp all the more--that TBS subsequently aired an all-Oscar revue. TCC was green-lighted on the strength--and ratings--of these shorts. But soon after production began, Stern found himself at odds with TBS suits regarding the direction of TCC. The fuse blew at a show party, where a blotto Stern reportedly flipped out, stripped nude, and antagonized the station's top brass. In Stern’s version, this was not a drunken display, but "performance art" protesting creative differences. Whatever it was, Stern was canned, lawsuits followed, and The Chimp Channel went on without its prime visionary at the helm. A few months into its run, I managed to get a visit to the TCC set. While thrilled at the prospect, I didn't realize what a coup it was: even a buzzing fly can be a scene-wrecker for a curious thespian chimp, so this was a very closed set. I was briefed on taboo behavior such as touching or feeding the apes, making gestures, or even making eye contact. (None of this was really necessary: because of the simians' short working hours and natural proclivity toward distraction, they hardly mingled with crew members, let alone with me.) The scaled-down-to-monkey-size set was a bit like Being John Malkovich's 7 and 1/2th floor. While I was touring it, an announcement rang through the building, an unassuming warehouse buried in the Burbank foothills. "Attention: Chimps are entering the building! Everyone take your place!" Five minutes later came "Chimps are now walking through!" Only the trainer and cameraman were allowed in the actual performing area; those not essential to the up-close action, including the director, viewed from monitors 50 feet away. The scene being filmed was simple. The show's female lead--a Pamela Anderson actress-type named Marina--would hysterically wave a gun at TCC's general manager. But before she could fire, another chimp was supposed to emerge from a door, opening it and inadvertently knocking the gun from her hand. This 15-second scene was rehearsed several times with a trainer. The female chimp had to react to the door's bump by tossing the gun as if it were accidentally flying out of her hand. She also had to move her lips to dialogue that would later be dubbed in. To ensure that her mouthing matched up to the cadence of the dialogue, the trainer "hand-talked" to a recorded tape, and the primate aped. This is a lot to remember, especially when one is wearing an uncomfortably hot wig and itchy, ill-fitting dress. Many times the scene was cut short because the actress tugged her hair off or chewed the weapon. In order to conserve monkey energy during the lengthy rehearsal, the role of opening the door was relegated to a human. The "chatter, bump!, toss the gun" sequence was repeated ad infinitum. Finally it became time to film, and the chimp was placed behind the door. Everything was going well: The actress mouthed the dialogue and held the gun at the proper angle. Then, right on cue, the other chimp bumped her with the door. But Marina detected a subtle difference. She flipped around, saw that the culprit was another monkey, interpreted his action as an attack, and clocked him over the head with her gun. Much shrieking ensued. I saw the director glance down from his monitor and rub his temples in a "how the hell did I get into this racket?" motion. I have no idea whether this was the last straw, but a few weeks later TBS announced it was ceasing production on The Chimp Channel. I don't know if the episode I watched was the last to be taped; it was definitely the last to air. TCC wasn't the funniest thing to hit the airwaves, but its presence is missed in a TV world sorely lacking in chimp antics. Perhaps some brave, bright soul will pick up the gauntlet. Until then, at least we have MoJo JoJo. -- Becky Ebenkamp bebenkamp@brandweek.com *!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!* Serendipitous Ape Joke Sent My Way One day an ape escaped from the Bronx Zoo. They searched for him everywhere, in every borough. They announced his disappearance on the radio and television, as well as in the newspapers, but no one reported seeing the ape. At last, the ape was found in the New York Public Library. Animal handlers and zoo officials were summoned to the library. They found the ape sitting at a desk in the reading room with two books spread out in front of him. The ape was reading with great concentration. One book was the Bible; the other was a book written by Darwin. The zookeepers asked the ape what he was doing. The ape replied, "I'm trying to figure out whether I am my brother's keeper or my keeper's brother." -- Mikel Weisser sweisser@famvid.com *!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!* National Treasure Becomes National Nuisance (Reprinted from the wire) A couple weeks ago there was a lovely television program about the Japanese Macaque Monkey (Snow Monkey). They are the monkeys with red faces that you often see covered with snow, or in hot springs on postcards from Japan. Adorable, aren't they? They may be, but the television program painted a different picture. They have become the nuisance of northern Japan. Among the worst of their crimes: they are breaking into houses and helping themselves to the food in the kitchens. Town residents have been forced to change the locks on their front doors and add locks to their refrigerators, and not even that helps all the time. "The monkeys think they are people," said an old woman who experienced monkey trouble firsthand. Of course, the entire reason they are a problem at all is that the snow monkeys are a national treasure of Japan, and thus can't be shot and served with a cold beer at the local yakitori bar. How Japan will solve this problem is anyone's guess, but we're sure it won't be quite like other monkey solutions in the rest of the world. Our guess is that Japan may become the front line of the robot-monkey war. --Naoko Kitabatake and Alex Stevenson alexs19@hotmail.com *!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!* LINKS--Please send more! http://www.modernhumorist.com/mh/0011/monkey/ Chimps Discover Are You Hot.com http://monkeymatters.com Contains more information than the others. http://www.our-pets.net/photocontest.htm Photo contest for pet monkey owners. http://mommensj.web2010.com/monkeys.htm Monkey care tips, lots of ads. -- from Joe Garden -- 30 -- From dhelder@umich.edu Tue Jan 16 12:59:10 2001 Return-Path: Received: from ask.eecs.umich.edu ([141.213.11.224]) by franklin.oit.unc.edu with SMTP (Lyris List Manager SOLARIS/SPARC version 4.0); Tue, 16 Jan 2001 12:20:31 -0500 Received: from localhost (dhelder@localhost) by ask.eecs.umich.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id MAA28589 for ; Tue, 16 Jan 2001 12:20:31 -0500 X-Authentication-Warning: ask.eecs.umich.edu: dhelder owned process doing -bs Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 12:20:30 -0500 (EST) From: David Helder X-Sender: dhelder@ask.eecs.umich.edu To: monkeywire Subject: Monkeys the new weapon of Paris gangs Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 00:36:00 -0800 From: glen mccready To: 0xdeadbeef@petting-zoo.net Subject: Monkeys the new weapon of Paris gangs Resent-Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 00:36:04 -0800 (PST) Resent-From: 0xdeadbeef@petting-zoo.net Forwarded-by: William Knowles http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4068525,00.html Jon Henley in Paris Guardian Wednesday September 27, 2000 With pitbulls, dobermans and rottweilers under fire from the French authorities, youth gangs in the depressed city suburbs have discovered an alternative way to intimidate their rivals - with attack monkeys. "They're ultra-fashionable," said Didier Lecourbe, a police officer from the depressed Paris suburb of Aubervilliers. "There are dozens of them. Kids take them out on leads, and even carry baby monkeys around in nappies. But these animals can be very dangerous indeed." Imported illegally through Spain from Gibraltar, Morocco or Algeria, the Barbary apes are known for their powerful limbs, sharp teeth and short tempers. Veterinary experts say they can be turned into frightening and effective weapons. "They live naturally on rocks or in a desert environment," said Marie-Claude Bomsel of the natural history museum in Paris. "Removed from their natural habitat, they can become highly aggressive. They bite, and their favoured method of attack is to hurl themselves at people's heads." Police believe as many as 500 Barbary apes may have been smuggled into France in the past two years. Bought for about 30 each by youngsters visiting their families in north Africa, they change hands on the council estates around Paris for as much as 300. "Now the authorities have cracked down on pitbulls and the rest, apes look like becoming the new weapon of choice," said Mr Lecourbe. "We've heard of monkey-fights being run in tower block basements." Ms Bomsel said the museum had received dozens of telephone calls from owners wanting to know how to deal with violent monkeys, or how to get rid of them. "The zoos don't want to know because apes that have grown up outside their natural environment will not live with others," she said. A spokeswoman for the the society for the protection of animals said the society had taken in more than 40 apes in the past 18 months and its Paris animal homes were full.

Miss Hurley, who is credited as producer on the film Extreme Measures, was a guest on the top-rated Tonight Show with Jay Leno, when a fellow guest - a boisterous chimp called Tyler - tried to take a bite out of the "face of Estee Lauder". Leno had produced the chimp after telling Miss Hurley that he wanted her to meet someone. She held out her arms but Tyler would not go to her. "Why doesn't he want me?" she asked. "Give him to me. I want him." She then made cooing noises, reached for Tyler once more and the chimpanzee bit her ear. It also nibbled at Leno's hand. Miss Hurley and Leno attempted to laugh it off but she appeared to be shocked and upset by the chimp's behaviour. Before Tyler's appearance she had explained to the chat show host why she called the production company she owns jointly with her boyfriend Hugh Grant, Simian Films. "I always thought Hugh looks like a chimpanzee," she said. "He has very small ears and they are much too high up on his head, giving him a simian look." Hugh Grant's appearance on the Jay Leno show was also uncomfortable. He was questioned about his arrest with the prostitute Divine Brown after being booked on the show to promote a film. A bite from a chimp may be the least hostile reaction to Miss Hurley's film producing debut. The reviews of Extreme Measures have not been kind. The Los Angeles Times described it as "out to lunch".

It wasn't. As his mother watched from the kitchen window, a rhesus monkey owned by neighbors jumped from a tree and landed on Ethan's back. Lori Sickman lunged toward the back door - and heard Ethan scream. "Look at what the monkey did to me," Ethan said, a bleeding bite wound on his arm. The attack last July 18 marked the start of a two-month ordeal involving doctors, needles, tests and the potential that the bite could threaten Ethan's life. That story, related by Lori and Larry Sickman in a letter to Sen. Sidney Johnson, prompted the rural northwest Missouri lawmaker to file legislation adding primates to the state's animal reporting requirements. The Sickmans, of Platte County, say they were unable to find any authorities who could take any action about the neighbors' pet because there are no ordinances about monkeys. Then, the couple learned that the monkey might have rabies and was a potential carrier of a deadly strain of the herpes virus that is fatal in 70 percent of human cases. As a precaution, Ethan had a series of painful inoculations. "It was a frightening thing because you just don't know what's going to happen," said Lori Sickman, who testified when the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee heard Johnson's bill. "It's awful when your son can't ride his bike without this monkey jumping on him and taking a chunk out of his arm." Johnson, D-Agency, said the state needs to provide some guidance. "They've had to do some very serious tests on their son. It's a very unfortunate situation," Johnson said. State law currently bans animals such as lions and poisonous reptiles from being kept in homes unless local law enforcement is informed. Johnson wants primates, bears and snakes more than 6 feet long added to the list. Shirley Sostman of Missouri Animal Watch, which monitors animal issues, said an increasing number of Missourians keep dangerous animals at home. The monkey-biting incident shows the need for better state laws, she said. "It got the attention of a lot of people in Missouri," she told the Senate committee. "It is serious and it shouldn't be allowed." Larry Sickman told the committee that with more exotic animals being kept as pets, incidents like his son's bite are bound to increase. "These animals are not pets, they are meant to be kept in a zoo," he said. "There's no control over these animals." While federal laws regulate the sale, breeding and exhibition of exotic animals, anyone can go into a store and potentially buy a tiger or an exotic lizard. Thirty-two states have some sort of regulations on exotic pets. Another section of Johnson's bill would allow the Missouri Department of Health and county health officials to become involved when animals bite people in counties where there are no rules. When the Health Department received a report of a biting incident, Johnson's bill would authorize an investigation and possible action to prevent the spread of rabies or other bite-related ailments. The owner of an animal would be responsible for any costs and damages. Larry Marx, who handles communicable disease issues for the state Health Department, says something must be done to deal with animal bites. "I think there needs to be a little more observance as far as public health goes," Marx said. "This bill would allow us to deal with these issues." The Senate committee has not yet voted on the legislation.

According to Tondabayashi Police Station, when the monkey was first seen on Sunday, it was going about the town, eating dried persimmons. However, at around 4:10 p.m. on Monday, the monkey attacked a seven-year-old boy in the town at the entrance of his house. He was slightly injured in his right hand and legs. Officers of Tondabayashi Police Station immediately chased after the monkey but could not catch the animal on that day. At around 7 a.m. on Tuesday, about 30 people, including police and city officials, were mobilized to catch the monkey. They successfully captured it at around 8:40 a.m. after the animal entered a cage that had been baited with bananas. The cage was left in the parking lot of the police station. However, at around 11:15 a.m., the monkey escaped from the cage after managing to open the door of the cage. About 40 minutes later, police officers finally recaptured the monkey. It is thought that the monkey came to the town in search of food.

About 250 people cowered inside nearby buildings at the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium for 45 minutes, after the 150-pound (68 kg) female gorilla escaped from an outdoor exhibit by crossing a wide moat and scaling a 14-foot (4.2-meter) wall to freedom. The animal, which is only 3-1/2 feet (one-meter) tall and is not considered a public danger, quickly found her way to the zoo's outdoor concession area on Sunday afternoon and began digging through overflowing trash cans. ``She seemed to especially like the Orange Slice'' soda pop, Barbara Baker, the zoo president and chief executive, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Zookeepers finally lured her into a women's lavatory, where they injected her with a tranquilizer. No one was ever in danger from the unnamed gorilla, the first to escape from the zoo's decade-old Tropical Forest Complex and make it to what one zookeeper described as ``the wrong side of the monkey house.'' Members of the zoo's Animal Escape Team believe the animal may have climbed to freedom on a bamboo stalk that had fallen into a waterless moat which surrounds the gorilla exhibit. The gorilla was later reported to be in good shape, though zookeepers feared she may experience some nausea as a result of the anesthesia and the junk food, a drastic change from her diet of fruit and monkey chow. __________________________________________________ Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

And ever since then teenager Michael Lewis and Suzie the blue vervet monkey have been firm friends. Michael saved Suzie from a hunter's gun and the tiny animal is enjoying a new life safe from harm in Britain. The Lewis family nursed the two-year-old monkey and then decided to look after their unique pet on their smallholding 30 miles from Durban. But when the family of four returned to Britain after two years abroad they could not bear to be without the latest addition to the household. Now, after a six-month battle with the Government and a bill of more than GBP 4,000, Suzie has been reunited with the family in Castle Bromwich, Birmingham. Michael, 17, a law student, spied the rare monkey as she toppled off her mother's back and suffered an epileptic fit when her troop was chased through the family's grounds a year ago. He scooped her up and nursed her back to full fitness. Although the timid monkey made a good recovery from the attack, she was still too weak to be released back into the wild and so the family continued caring for her. Michael has taken a part-time job at McDonald's to help fund the costs for Suzie's trip. He said: "We have hand-reared Suzie so there was no way we could leave her behind. She could never live in the wild again anyway because she is prone to epilepsy and has weak back legs. "We knew we had to bring her back to Britain and now that she is here we are over the moon." Michael's father Mike, 43, who had moved to South Africa to work, added: "We were horrified when we saw her being shot at in South Africa - she was so tiny and vulnerable. The other monkeys were attacking her and we had to help. "Michael ran over and scooped her up while my wife shooed the other monkeys away. When I got to Suzie she was in the middle of an epileptic fit. Her heart had stopped so without thinking I started resuscitating her. "She died four times before finally coming round. When she did she just grabbed hold of Michael and wouldn't let go." Although Suzie soon settled with the family, Mike was forced to return to the UK to nurse his sick mother. After a lengthy legal wrangle with the Ministry of Agriculture, he finally won the right to bring the monkey to England. Returning to Birmingham in May this year, the family endured seven months without their precious pet as they waited to be given the go-ahead. Suzie was kept in a cat and dog shipment area in Durban while Mike battled for permission to bring her home. The little monkey finally arrived in Britain on December 12 where she received an emotional welcome from Mike, wife Tracey, Michael and Malishia, six. Mike said: "We were really worried that in all that time she would forget who we were but she was ecstatic to see us. "The Ministry of Agriculture did not give us any help. They were really dragging their heels over it, arguing with us over what size the bars on the cage needed to be. "They said we would have to have a window she could look out of and we had to buy protective gloves, masks and goggles to handle her. "We had to wait while they decided what facilities would be suitable to put her in and they kept us hanging around while they sought advice from specialists. "When she arrived the trip had obviously taken its toll. Suzie's eyes were haggard and she had lost half a pound in weight. But when she saw us she seemed to get a second wind - she rushed up to the bars of the cage and started crying with joy. "We had spent an awful lot of money and time trying to bring her over here but when we saw how happy she was we knew it was all worth it." The family make daily visits to Bayton Lodge Boarding Kennels in Hinkley, Leics, where Suzie is undergoing six months of quarantine until next June. Blue vervet monkeys grow to around three feet in height and feast on nuts, fruit, small birds, insects and lizards. Suzie is one of only 10 vervets in this country and the species is growing increasingly rare with only around 250,000 left in the world.

The 12 were conducting a census of the endangered Tana River Colobus monkey - a project funded by the World Bank - when the women stripped and charged at them. It is thought they were protesting against a plan to turn the area into a nature reserve for the primates, which are unique to the area. The scientists abandoned their equipment and fled. The incident, in the Tana river district of south-east Kenya 40 miles from the Indian Ocean, is the latest in a series of clashes between villagers and the Kenya wildlife service, which is seeking to resettle them outside the proposed reserve. The women were from the village of Baomo, which the service is planning to clear. About 2,000 families are affected by the resettlement plan. The local police chief said the women were forced to retreat when police officers arrived and fired shots over their heads. No arrests were made but security was tightened.

Chiko, a chimpanzee in the Tama Zoo, located in the city of Hino, learned to insert coins into the machine to purchase the beverages as part of the zoo's research studies to assess the apes' learning abilities and further develop them. Today, reporters watched as Chiko quickly grabbed 10 yen coins thrown to her by a zookeeper and scampered over to the vending machine, accomplishing five successful attempts to buy canned juices in just 30 minutes. The vending machine, modified to allow drinks to be purchased for 10 yen, was set up near the breeding grounds of the zoo's 17 chimpanzees last July, according to the officials. Chiko's first successful attempt to operate the machine was on Feb. 2, the officials said, adding that from late October, zookeepers have been demonstrating how to insert the coins and extract cans of juice from the vending machine. Initial attempts to teach the animals by showing them videos of humans operating the machine were unsuccessful, they said. Demonstrations of the chimpanzee's skills will be open to the public this afternoon.

And, yes, gentle readers, I have been known to tear up on occasion of a monkey in a muddle and for that reason, Wild Rescues, is one of the saddest shows on television. So those who are Valentine-inclined, grab your honey and a box of Kleenex. 2/16 on Animal Planet, Remember what I was saying about monkeys enjoying a certain cache of late? Well, before you rush out and see Brendan Fraser embarrass all monkey lovers in Monkeybone, check out Animal Planet's tour de monkey, Summer of the Monkeys where a lonely boy saves some escaped circus monkeys in order to buy a pony. Yes, you heard me correctly, he trades four perfectly well-trained monkeys for a pony. Doesn't he know that there's nothing more fun than a barrel of monkeys? 2/16 on TNT, Circle of Iron a brilliant pre-Crouching Tiger, ersatz Kung Fu event where a blind (blind! Let's see Chow Yun Fat do that!) Zen master meets a bunch of monkey people and their monkeys. Of course it's on at 4 am, so be sure to go to bed early so you can wake up and watch this monkey-rageous movie! Also on 2/16 on the WB, Arrest and Trial will focus on Operation: Gorilla, an organized stingset up to stop the smuggling of gorillas from the US to Mexico. Which, of course, begs the question: What do you smuggle a three hundred-pound gorilla in? A duffel bag? 2/17 on UPN Maximum Exposure "the coolest animals alive" will be showcased including some fantastic waterskiing monkeys. Next week, "the coolest animals not-so-much alive." Also on 2/17 on the Sci Fi Channel, Friday the 13th will shift its focus slightly from hockey-mask wearing hacker-and-slashers to explore the rich history of Japanese sculpture. Check out the "Year of the Monkey," but set your alarms, cause it's on at 5 am. I'm sure it will be worth it. And, finally, 2/17 on Animal Planet, catch the continuing adventures of the wacky Monkey Business crew. If you haven't seen the show yet, it makes those hefty cable bills seem worth it. Well, Monkey Business, The New Detectives and The Iron Chef, anyway. 2/19 on Animal Planet, the man in the mullet, Steve Irwin, continues the Croc Files' investigation into the personal lives of rich and famous chimps, gorillas, orangutangs and assorted other monkeys. Maybe they'll bite the mullet straight off his head on this episode.

Zookeepers Mystery Pregnancies Puzzle L.A. Zookeepers http://abcnews.go.com/sections/science/DailyNews/monkeytrouble990513.html Yoshi carries her offspring Toshi at the Los Angeles Zoo. (SEE WEBSITE FOR PHOTO) By Deborah Hastings The Associated Press L O S A N G E L E S, Calif. May 13,1999 There's some monkey business going on at the Los Angeles Zoo. The chimpanzees keep getting pregnant, even though all the males thought capable of breeding have had vasectomies. No one is quite sure why it's happening, but it's created the kind of excitement zoos lust for. "The zoo has never had this much publicity about anything," zoo keeper Vicki Bingaman said. In the past three months, two chimps have given birth and a third is pregnant. DNA tests to determine the father-or fathers-cannot be done for months, until the babies are old enough to be separated from their mothers. The real mystery is this: Three of the four adult males had vasectomies in 1996. And Toto, who is 45, has never shown sexual interest in anyone but himself. As for 2-year-old Ripley and 4-year-old Glenn, they were considered too young to breed. How Could This Happen? Bingaman thinks the vasectomies may have failed. Vasectomies are known to have a 1 percent failure rate in humans. "Chimps are very resilient. It wouldn't surprise me if they found some way around" their vasectomies, Bingaman said. Charles Sedgwick, the zoo's director of animal health sciences, thinks she's wrong. "Vasectomies in chimps are the same as vasectomies in people, except that chimps are much more prodigiously endowed," Sedgwick said. In both humans and chimps, the tubes that carry semen are severed, and "there's not much chance that would spontaneously reattach." Sedgwick thinks Toto or perhaps the youngsters are the fathers. He said there have been rare cases of young chimps impregnating a female. Too Many Apes The chimps at the Los Angeles Zoo have sex every day, Sedgwick said. The zoo started trying to curb its chimp population about eight years ago because the enclosure was getting too crowded and chimps aren't an endangered species. First, zoo keepers distributed birth control pills. But the females passed them around. Babies ate them. So did males. Then Bingaman tried contraceptive implants. They weren't strong enough. "So we vasectomized the males and we still had babies," she said. The newest, a four-pound girl, was born last week and brings the chimp population to 15. The zoo and a radio station are sponsoring a name-the-chimp contest, to start Sunday. Back to Birth Control Pills Bingaman thinks the problem is finally under control. A new, more naturalistic enclosure gives zoo keepers more room to walk around and make sure only the adult females are swallowing birth control pills. On Thursday, Susan Taj, a parent volunteer, helped lead a group of second-graders on a field trip. She had heard about the chimp hanky-panky and called it unbelievable. Would she explain it to the children? "Not to second-graders, I don't think," she said.

For Larry and Lori Sickman of Platte County, what at first seemed like a traumatic but simple bite wound has led to fear of life-threatening diseases and a series of rabies shots for their son, now 8. That's because no Missouri law gives authorities the power to impound exotic animals such as monkeys -- and the monkey's owners declined to sacrifice its life so it could be tested as a rabies carrier. "I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy," Larry Sickman said. "I wouldn't want to see anybody's children have to go through this treatment. Nothing's more heartbreaking than to see my child down because of these rabies shots." The monkey's owners, Steve and Shelly Bowman, the Sickmans' next-door neighbors in a rural subdivision northwest of Parkville, have declined to comment. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

J8 LENGTH: 632 words HEADLINE: Examples of mental capacities SOURCE: Knight Ridder Newspapers DATELINE: WASHINGTON BODY: Here are some examples of the surprising mental capacities researchers have discovered in primates: PROBLEM SOLVING: Harvard psychologist Marc Hauser tested a monkey's ability to solve the problem of getting food that was out of reach outside its cage. In one experiment, the food was located on a piece of cloth that the monkey could pull toward itself, while another morsel was placed off the cloth. In a second test, the monkey had to choose between food placed on a single cloth or on one of two pieces of cloth separated by a gap. In both cases, the monkey pulled the right cloth, thereby solving the problem, usually on the first try, Hauser reported. These experiments show monkeys can see the connection between an action on one object and its effect on another. "This comprehension is at the root of all tool use," Hauser said. TOOL USE: To crack nuts, chimpanzees put a shell on a flat rock and hammer it open with a stone. They may store a favourite hammer under a familiar tree so they can use it over again. In the presence of their infants, mother chimps wield their hammers slowly to show how the job is done. Sometimes, mothers correct their pupils' mistakes. SELF-AWARENESS: Researcher Gordon Gallup, a psychologist at the State University of New York in Albany, has demonstrated that apes, unlike most animals, can be trained to recognize themselves in a mirror. Gallup anesthetized chimpanzees and, while they were unconscious, put dabs of colour on their face. When the chimps woke up and looked in the mirror, they spontaneously touched the marks. Penny Patterson, an animal psychologist at Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, Calif., has trained Koko, a female gorilla, to use sign language to express her wishes, feelings and thoughts. When a trainer put a mirror in front of Koko and asked her what she saw, the 300-pound gorilla made the signs for "Me, Koko." COMMUNICATION: When a vervet monkey, an African species, emits the call for eagle, his fellow monkeys look up to the sky. When the call is for leopard, they climb a tree. When it's for a snake, they stand up and look around for the danger. LANGUAGE: In her Atlanta Language Research Centre, Sue Savage-Rumbaugh has taught Kanzi, her famous chimpanzee, to communicate with humans by pointing to printed symbols on a keyboard. In return, Kanzi understands scores of spoken English words and sentences. The chimp demonstrates "the rudimentary language skills of 2 1/2-year-old children," Savage-Rumbaugh said. For example, if Kanzi is told to "pour the milk in the juice," he responds properly and does not pour the juice in the milk.

DICKEY DATELINE: ST. PAUL, Minn. BODY: Her art is abstract, at best. Her methods are uncouth. But her stuff sells, for hundreds of dollars. On Friday, the 24-year-old artist woke up late and sleepily climbed a cargo net to greet visitors. Her studio stank, and banana peels lay rotting where they'd been carelessly tossed. Amanda normally paints only once a week. But when inspiration strikes the 100-pound orangutan, she expects to start immediately. ''She's getting a little frustrated,'' Como Zoo keeper Mike Thell said as he readied bottles of nontoxic poster paint. ''What happens is, she starts to spit.'' Through heavy chain-link caging, Amanda dipped her brush into red, purple and yellow bottles held up by Thell. After each thoughtful brushstroke, she popped the brush into her mouth and slurped it clean. There was much slurping. After a few minutes, Amanda handed the brush back to Thell and swept excess paint from the paper with pointed tongue. Colors blended, giving the piece the look of a child's finger painting. ''She usually gives it the tongue signature,'' Thell said. After a little coaxing from Thell, Amanda slid her creation under the cage door and flashed a blue-stained smile. Later Friday, Amanda's art debuted to the public at the zoo's Primate Exhibit building. More than 400 people arrived to bid on 22 framed originals. The auction raised about $4,800 for the zoo. The top price: $360 for a work called ''Like the Weather;'' zoo officials won't say who titles them. Amanda was not shy about demonstrating her skills to the auction-goers. ''We know that she likes the attention,'' said zoo spokeswoman Jennifer Lauerman. ''She definitely knew what was going on.'' The Sumatran/Bornean orangutan started painting in June as part of the zoo's enrichment program, meant to stimulate captive animals. The program challenges gorillas to unlock treats from plastic bottles, has a polar bear work its way through a block of ice to reach a frozen fish, and lets lions roll around in their favorite herbs and spices. Amanda shares a cage with three other orangutans but is the zoo's only artist. Her usual reward is a bottle of Kool-Aid or orange juice. ''She's highly intelligent so far as orangutans seem to go,'' Thell said. She took right to painting after a couple of demonstrations of what to do with paint and brush, he said. She's not the first zoo animal to delve into art. Paintings by an elephant named Ruby at the Phoenix zoo fetched as much as $3,000. A dolphin at the Clearwater, Fla., Marine Science Center took up a brush in 1992 and originals went for as much as $175.

The adaptable vervets have become ingenious and efficient raiders who break into houses to search for food. The vervets, also known as green monkeys, enter properties in large numbers and even post lookouts in garden trees to alert them to any threats from humans or dogs. The monkeys, about 75 centimetres tall, like to squeeze through security bars and small windows. They have adapted to the urban jungle as Durban's rapid expansion into a city of 2 million has cut into their forest habitat. They have been helped by their appetite for almost any kind of food and an ability to survive on the ground or in trees. Many people consider them to be vermin and want them removed from within Durban's rapidly expanding boundaries. Others complain that the monkeys make it impossible to grow fruit and vegetables because they devour the crops before they can be harvested. The monkeys also find themselves the objects of road rage - when they dart out in front of cars, often as they are being chased by dogs. Police have rejected the idea of shooting or poisoning the monkeys, but that does not stop residents from taking potshots at monkeys that feed in their suburban gardens. The gunshot victims - those that survive - get some help and sympathy from Ms Misty Corton, an animal-lover who drives around the streets trying to rescue monkeys injured by bullets, cars, dogs and snares. She takes many of them to an animal rescue charity, where they are nursed back to health. The hope is that these injured monkeys - many of which are orphans or young males expelled from a troop by dominant males - will form a close-knit gang that will look after each other in the wild. Some are sent to a private sanctuary 320 kilometres outside Durban, where they are kept until they can be released into the bush. There are some areas of the city where the larcenous monkeys can flourish; Durban's many golf courses and parks are havens where they can raise their young and find temporary refuge from the hazards of urban life.

She said yesterday she was devastated by the loss of 5-year-old, hand-reared Tuko, named after former New Zealand First MP Tukoroirangi Morgan. The 1.5kg monkey bolted late last week during filming of BBC dinosaur movie The Lost World, apparently unnerved by the number of people on the set. The crew was filming in the Buller district's Nile Valley, 27km southwest of Westport. About 50 crew members, school children and Norwest Adventures staff spent hours looking for the South American monkey, hand-reared by Ms Grant after he was abandoned by his mother. He was spotted twice in the first few days, but was too fast for rescuers, who came within metres before he fled. Lost World Productions had since employed a possum trapper to bring Tuko home safely, but Ms Grant was pessimistic about his chances. "He's not used to fending for himself." Ms Grant said "all would be forgiven" if Tuko was found safe, but she would explore other avenues with the film company if he remained missing. - NZPA From carrie@stayfreemagazine.org Sat Mar 03 11:53:48 2001 Return-Path: Received: from granger.mail.mindspring.net ([207.69.200.148]) by franklin.oit.unc.edu with SMTP (Lyris List Manager SOLARIS/SPARC version 4.0); Sat, 03 Mar 2001 11:53:44 -0500 Received: from [165.121.64.83] (user-2inig2j.dialup.mindspring.com [165.121.64.83]) by granger.mail.mindspring.net (8.9.3/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA32627 for ; Sat, 3 Mar 2001 11:53:36 -0500 (EST) User-Agent: Microsoft-Outlook-Express-Macintosh-Edition/5.02.2022 Date: Sat, 03 Mar 2001 11:51:01 -0400 Subject: Tuko on the Run From: Carrie McLaren To: monkey Message-ID: Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit [ please accept my apologies, I neglected to include this item in the previous post -- CM] Wellington Newspapers Limited The Evening Post (Wellington) February 26, 2001 SECTION: NEWS; NATIONAL; Pg. 8; BRIEF LENGTH: 96 words HEADLINE: Tuku on the run BODY: Tuku, a capuchin monkey named after former New Zealand First MP Tukoroirangi Morgan, has run away.

The Great Ape Project's "Census 2001" campaign - modeled on the US government's Census 2000 - highlights the fact that all great apes, human and nonhuman alike, share qualities including intelligence, complex social systems, and the ability to suffer. For this reason, all should be counted as individuals and recognized through a census. Paul Waldau, GAP's Executive Director, states, "Nonhuman great apes should be counted as individuals, just as humans are. They now suffer greatly - chained in backyards, beaten, sold on the internet - and we must make these injustices visible. GAP's Census 2001 goes one step beyond the US government's Census 2000, and will call attention to the fact that there remain many complex individuals who still need to be counted - our fellow great apes." GAP - USA's census will be carried out mainly by volunteers, or enumerators, who will report information about individual nonhuman great apes across the United States in zoos, circuses, laboratories, sanctuaries, and under private ownership. Enumerators can submit reports directly to GAP by filling out census forms at the Great Ape Project website at . Sarah Whitman, Campaign Director for GAP - USA's Census 2001 says, "With our Census 2001, GAP will pick up where the US Census Bureau left off by recognizing the nonhuman great apes. Census 2001 is one step up from Census 2000." The Great Ape Project is an international organization working to raise the legal and moral status of nonhuman great apes. GAP has chapters across the globe, and supporters include famed primatologist Jane Goodall .

Sunday Mirror March 11, 2001, Sunday SECTION: NEWS; Pg. 44 LENGTH: 261 words HEADLINE: WHY MONKEYS ARE BETTER THAN BEARS; TODDLERS LOVE TO SEE THEIR FACES BYLINE: Doug Kempster BODY: IF you want your toddler to be happy, then it's better to buy them a cuddly monkey than a traditional teddy bear. The secret, say psychologists, is in the monkey's face. "Studies have shown that babies as young as one-hour-old prefer to look at features resembling a human face," psychology lecturer Dr Nick Neave, of the University of Northumbria, said. "Babies also like to look at faces that are attractive with features such as big eyes, a small nose, large mouth and forehead - exactly those of a monkey. "Basically, the more similar an animal's face is to a human's, the better an infant will respond. "This explains why a baby would prefer a monkey to a teddy bear." His comments come after research by supermarket chain Tesco showed children preferred to look at monkeys, dogs, cats and even pigs rather than bears. A spokeswoman for Tesco said: "We conducted informal research using the babies of 60 staff members. "Each child was shown a friendly image of a range of animals and the child's mood was observed. "Eight out of 10 babies stopped crying and smiled when shown the face of a monkey." Claire Pawson, whose 15-month-old daughter Olivia took part in the research, added: "Like most other mothers, I gave Olivia teddies and bunnies. It never occurred to me that I should be buying monkeys. Tesco Baby Club Manager Sarah Baldock said: "For years we've never questioned conventional wisdom, assuming teddy bears are the most baby- friendly image available. "These findings suggest we were wrong all along." GRAPHIC: COMFORTING: Babies like monkeys best of all. But they'd also rather have a dog, cat or pig than a bear.

Frans De Waal, a primatologist at Emory University, has learned that monkeys transmit knowledge and habits to each other, just as humans do. MILES O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: Frans De Waal is a primatologist at Emory University here in Atlanta. His newest book is "The Ape and the Sushi Master." Good to have you with us, Dr. Waal. FRANS DE WAAL, EMORY UNIVERSITY, PRIMATOLOGIST: Well, I'm glad to be here. O'BRIEN: All right, tell me exactly -- the title is provocative. I want you to tell me the story about that in a moment. But basically the premise of all of this is that there -- I suppose we as humans make the assumption that animals operate strictly on instinct. You, in observing primates, have come to a different conclusion, haven't you? WAAL: Well, we have concluded that they transmit a lot of knowledge and habits to each other, just as we do, and that's why we call it cultural. So there's a lot of behavior that they learned from others and they even survive with that sort of behavior. So if you take, for example, a chimpanzee and you raise him at home and you release him in the forest, he can't even survive. So there's a lot of learning that takes place. O'BRIEN: So it's kind of a nature versus nurture argument in some sense. WAAL: Yes. O'BRIEN: There are traditions, then, among animals, and does this apply to all animals or are we just talking about, say, mammals here? WAAL: I think it applies to many animals. For example, song birds learn songs from each other. There's many animals -- even fish can imitate each other to some degree. But I think chimpanzees and dolphins and sort of the higher mammals, they are definitely the most cultural of all. O'BRIEN: Tell us the aha moment when you had the inspiration for this thesis. WAAL: Well, I think the high moment was 50 years ago. It was not my moment. It was a moment in Japan where Iminishi (ph), a Japanese primatologist, proposed that animals may have culture and two years later his students started to discover that there was a transmission of a habit, which was potato washing, among the monkeys on an island in Japan. O'BRIEN: So wait a minute, the monkeys actually watched humans washing potatoes... WAAL: No, no, no... O'BRIEN: Explain how this worked. WAAL: The humans gave them potatoes in order to habituate them and one of the young monkeys took a potato which was dirty and took it to the water and washed it. And very soon thereafter her mother was doing it. And very soon thereafter her peers were doing it. And then it transmitted. The last ones to learn it, some of them never learned it, were the older males. So it transmitted to the whole group except the old males. They hang onto the old habits that they have. O'BRIEN: All right, well, you have definitely brought us to the discussion of the title. Tell us what that is all about. WAAL: The title has to do with, in Japan, the sushi master has an apprentice and the apprentice watches the sushi master. He's not allowed to touch any sushi for a couple of years. He's just hanging around him and watches him, mops the floor and all of this and after three years he's supposed to make -- be able to make sushi. And so it's an observational learning setup and that's why I compare them, because I think many primates do the same thing. They watch their mother. They watch the older chimpanzees in the group, they watch them do things, and after a couple of years they can do the same things. O'BRIEN: So do you get the sense that -- perhaps this isn't the case for you, but that most of us are way underestimating what animals are capable of? WAAL: I think so. I think we have a tendency to say we are cultural beings, we have left nature behind -- which, of course, is nonsense -- we cannot leave nature behind -- and that animals are stuck in nature, they are stuck with their instincts. But that's not the case at all. O'BRIEN: So what, then, is the lesson for us? WAAL: The lesson for us is that the divide between culture and nature that we have created is completely artificial. It doesn't exist for us, really, because there's continuity between the two, and it doesn't exist for other animals. O'BRIEN: So we are much closer to the primates than we'd like to think, perhaps, on a day to day basis? WAAL: Oh, I think so. O'BRIEN: Is there anything wrong with that? WAAL: No. I think we are primates so, yeah, it's logical to think like that. O'BRIEN: All right, Frans De Waal, who is at Emory University and is out with a fascinating new book, "The Ape and the Sushi Master," which is available, by the way, if you go to the Emory Web page, www.emory.edu/living_links. WAAL: Yeah, thank you. O'BRIEN: We appreciate it.

The monkeys have learned to dodge electrical fences put up to protect the melons, peppers and pineapples. In one gruesome incident, they killed two guard dogs. Lajas Mayor Marcos "Turin" Irizarry screeched to a halt, shaking up his family as they were enjoying a Sunday drive, when a male monkey leading a pack stepped out in front of him like a crossing guard and stood firm until the monkey's group was safely on the other side. "They've gotten to a point that they're a menace," said Georgie Ferrer, president of the Lajas Valley Farmers United Front, who -- thanks to the monkeys -- gave up growing melons two years ago and now runs a freshwater shrimp hatchery. "When they were 50 or 100, they stayed in the hills," he added. "Now that food is scarce there, they come to the farms. Before, they ran when they saw you. They're not afraid of human beings anymore." The farmers in southwestern Puerto Rico have complained about the monkeys for years, but now they feel a sense of urgency. They say the handful of rhesus and patas monkeys, brought to the island for experiments in the 1950s, has swelled to 1,500 primates, possibly as many as 2,000. India bars their exportation now. But rhesus monkeys -- those "organ grinder" sidekicks with some physiological similarities to humans -- were used for decades to test vaccines and study learning and behavior. Africa's patas monkey, sporting a white "mustache" that one expert says makes it look like "a grumpy, retired British colonel," is built like a greyhound. The fastest primate on earth, it can go from zero to 33 mph in three seconds. Brought by federal agencies to small cays off Puerto Rico's southwestern coasts, the monkeys escaped to the main island once the experiments were over. "In Puerto Rico, there are no lions, tigers, nothing to hunt them," Raul A. Perez of the University of Puerto Rico's Wildlife Management Program told the House of Representatives' Agriculture Committee last week. "And if they get to the island's central mountain chain, God help us!" Government officials now seem to be heeding the call. After several hearings in the Capitol, legislators in a helicopter Saturday tried to view the primates from above. The Agriculture Department is figuring out how much money 50 or so farmers have lost. The two- to three-foot-long monkeys go for $1,000 each to research universities and zoos. Farmers want them caught and sold, and they think they should get the proceeds. Others prefer pushing them to one part of the Lajas valley overlooking the Caribbean Sea and making the monkeys into a wild tourist attraction. But no one is talking about killing them -- at least not publicly. "We're following up to make sure nothing bad happens to them as they try to catch them," said Nelida Ruiz of Animal Protection Federation. Experts counsel patience. Previous private efforts to catch them failed, and it's a big challenge just to document how many and where they are. Most with a hand in this mess realize it's going to take a good chunk of government money to catch them and a good plan on what to do with them. "This is a long-term problem," said biology teacher Alberto Torres Vargas who testified before the House. "This can't be solved in a year or two."

Scientists have known for more than a century that these swellings of perineal skin functioned as a display signal involved in mating. But whether it indicated a female's degree of fertility or something else was unclear. The new research conducted in Africa is apparently the first to show that genetic fitness is the message being interpreted by males, say Leah Domb of Harvard University, and Mark Pagel of the University of Reading, Whiteknights, United Kingdom. The swellings appear when females are in estrus, or ovulating. These swellings are found in females of most species of Old World great apes and monkeys -- those from Africa and Asia -- but not New World species found in Central and South America, the researchers say. Victorian-era people covered up the primates' swollen bottoms at zoos to prevent their own embarrassment. But as far as male baboons are concerned, the bigger and redder, the better they like them and are willing to fight for them, the research shows. Observations made of olive baboons at Gombe National Park in Tanzania found that females with larger swellings reached sexual maturity at earlier ages, gave birth to more offspring and produced offspring with the best chances of survival. Males fought each other more often for access to the big-bottomed females than for females with less pronounced swellings, the study shows. The results are published in today's Nature. Generally speaking, the sexual swelling of female non-human primates is an oddity in nature. It is more common among many mammals and birds for males to display during courtship and for females to do the choosing. The displays are usually physical characteristics that have become exaggerated over long periods of time, such as horns or colorful feathers, or elaborate songs. The classic example of this is the male peacock's tail, which has become exaggerated and unwieldy over time because of preferences for larger and more colorful tails by female peacocks. Males with the biggest tails are the first picks of peacock ladies. The tails honestly reflect a male's fitness because of their handicapping potential. Males that can carry these ridiculous and useless trains of feathers behind them must be strong, from the female's perspective. Domb and Pagel say the sexual swelling of female baboons also appears to be an "honest" signal like that of the peacock train, because bigger, redder bottoms accurately reflect fitness in females. However, to meet the definition of an honest signal, the signal must be costly to produce, such as the peacock's tail. How costly the swellings are to females is open for debate, experts say.

Cahill, Commissioner of the NY Dept. of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Gavin J. Donohue, Executive Deputy Commissioner of the NY DEC George E. Pataki, Governor of New York Eliot Spitzer, Attorney General of New York This petition reads: The NY Supreme Court handed down a decision in October 1999 to give power to the NY Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to remove "Cookie", an endangered Diana Guenon monkey, from its owners Roman and Inna Flikshtein of Brooklyn. We, the undersigned, find this ruling to be both unjust and insensitive. Cookie has a family which cares deeply for her and has spent the past 5 years with them. She can no longer breed due to her being sterilized and can no longer protect herself from other monkeys due to the removal of her canine teeth. There is no justifiable reason to remove this animal from this family. Cookie is, indeed, a Flikstein family member. She eats with her family, takes walks with them, swims with them, and enjoys their company. We demand that the NY Department of Environmental Conservation discontinue its repeated warnings of removal of this animal from its family. Public opinion is strongly behind letting the Flikshteins keep this pet. Inna Flikshtein has stated that she is so desperate to keep Cookie that she is willing to go to jail if this removal happens. This animal was purchased legally and should now be allowed to live a peaceful life with the only family she has ever known. The fact remains that Cookie was born in Florida; not illegally imported. The breeder in Florida should be commended for being able to breed these wonderful animals. The Detroit Zoo could gain much insight by learning the techniques which this breeder in Florida uses in order to protect this species for future generations. The illegal trade of wild animals must be halted but for the State of New York to use this as an example is an embarrassment. Please show compassion for both the Flikshtein family and for Cookie and let them continue to live their lives peacefully together.

If our primate ancestors had not needed to distinguish red from green to survive -- to find tasty ripe fruit and nutritious leaves in forests -- humans may not have evolved with the ability to enjoy such a colorful world. ``We humans owe our unique color vision to our primate ancestors,'' Nathaniel Dominy, of the University of Hong Kong, said in an Internet interview. Apes and monkeys from Africa and Asia can see vivid reds, greens and blues just like humans in contrast to all other nonprimate mammals. Dominy and his colleague Peter Lucas studied four species of Old World primates in Uganda to find out why. ``Our study is the first to link a nutritional value with primate food colors,'' said Dominy. In research reported in the science journal Nature, the scientists monitored the eating habits of primates in the Kibale Forest in Uganda to see how their ability to see colors influenced which fruits or leaves they ate. Distinguishing the healthiest food is essential for primates to survive. Dominy and Lucas found that apes and monkeys can choose fruit using only yellow/blue vision but the animals had to see red and green to find the most nutritious young leaves which often have a tinge of red that sets them apart from the green forest. ``We found that a primate lacking the ability to discriminate red-green could still detect ripe fruits but not red leaves. There is value to this because young leaves are rich in protein and easier to chew. All primates, even those that eat mostly fruits, have to rely on young leaves during the year when fruits are unavailable,'' Dominy explained. But he added that more humans suffer from color blindness than monkeys so we may be losing our ability to distinguish red from green. Only about three percent of monkeys are red-green color blind compared to eight percent of Caucasian males. ``So it looks like the selective pressure on we humans has been relaxed, perhaps because we have lived outside the forest for some time now,'' he added.

The Swiss-based WWF, which for three decades has been running a project to save the monkey, said a baby born late last month had become the 1,000th now living in the Tamarind's native habitat, Brazil's Atlantic Forest. Just 30 years ago only 200 Tamarinds -- popular for their bright eyes, golden-tinted fur and fringe around the face -- were known to survive in the rapidly disappearing forest. ``Reaching a total of 1,000 Tamarinds in the wild is a remarkable feat,'' Garo Matmanian of WWF's Brazilian (news - web sites) national organization said in a statement. Without the international effort to save it, the species and its habitat -- once covering 100 million hectares but now only seven percent of that size due to farming and human settlement -- would have been extinct by now, he added. Wildlife experts say that to ensure the monkey's long-term survival, at least 2,000 are needed in the wild. They vow to pursue conservation efforts, which have included introduction of zoo-born monkeys into the forests. Under the project, the WWF has worked to move Tamarinds from degraded land to surviving forest patches in remote areas, where they will have a better chance of reaching sustainable numbers. ``The Tamarind now has a real chance of survival,'' the WWF said. -- Jack Szwergold | jack@royaljournal.com Royal Journal | http://www.royaljournal.com/ "I can clearly see connections between hackers and nerds..."

This column supplements the news wire by publishing writing (and pictures!) about monkeys that isn't strictly news. As with the wire, we'd like to keep the column focused on monkey behavior and media representations of same. We've got a high-falutin' lineup this time: Alex Stevenson's monkey phone call got "dozens of bids" exceeding $200, according to the humor website amnewsabuse.com. And widely published poet Jennifer L. Knox usually lends her talents to more intellectual venues, like Ploughshares and Best American Poetry (if you're in New York, you can see Jennifer read at St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery April 12th). But alas, we have no links. Send links! And feel free to review them. Submissions for future columns should be sent to annia@monkeywire.org by the first of the month.

From Joe Garden. [EBAY AUCTION POSTING] E-MONKEY BUSINESS This is a free monkey phone call from me. This is a real auction, no joke. When you pay, I will call you and make this sound "ee EEEE ee EEEE eee EEEEE"... it's kind of like a monkey shrieking sound. Not a big fat monkey..and not like a gorilla...but like a monkey that's the size of a chihuahua...you know, like that old Taco Bell dog. So this monkey sound will be like "ee EEEE ee EEEE eee EEEEE". There will be no other additional monkey sounds. However, if you want and are willing to pay an additional $10, I will make a monkey grunt sound. The monkey grunt sound will go like "ooo ooo". Imagine a monkey sitting on top of a donkey while making that sound. Why a donkey? Because monkeys on donkeys sound better. The call will be about 1 minute. The following is a scripted call: RING RING Buyer: Hello? Me: "I am super monkey and here's a monkey sound: ee EE ee EEEE ee EEE" Buyer: Wow, this is so cool A super monkey is calling me! Me: "oo ooo oo super monkey is on a donkey ooo ooo oo" Buyer: Wow, a DONKEY!!! Me: "Thank you, it has been a pleasure doing monkey business with you" (That joke about monkey business will be free!!! Get it? MONKEY business! HAHA) Buyer: "Thank you, sir. I will buy 10 more monkey phone calls from you. Does your company have any stock? I wish to buy 10,000 shares." End of conversation. When you win, you have to tell me the time to call you. It has to be between 6 pm and 7 pm US pacific time. You only have a one hour time frame. If this time isn't good enough, then you can request a 7 to 8 pm time frame, but you won't get the joke about it being monkey business. This offer is also only valid in the United States. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, pay pal or money order. As of this writing the current bid is $208.50 --Alex Stevenson, Yamagata, Japan alexs19@hotmail.com [MOVIE REVIEW] JUST OUT OF THEATERS: MONKEYBONE Most monkey fans know that Brendan Fraser, while not far removed from our primitive ancestors (see Encino Man for proof absolute), should generally be avoided. Pair him up with a computer-animated monkey in a fez, though, and you can color me first in line! Or at least you can color me in theaters before it leaves for good, which in this case was about three weeks after it opened. Fraser plays Stu Miley, a modest cartoonist on the verge of making it big when Captain Tragedy hits and he tumbles into a coma. In coma land, he meets his creation Monkeybone, a monkey who acts out his id impulses and is attracted to Rose MacGowan's cleavage. Just when Stu seems about to wake, Monkeybone takes over his body. And he is totally going to steal his girlfriend. Jokes are few and far between, at least until the last half hour where the movie is saved by Chris Kattan--and how low does a movie have to sink before Chris Kattan can save it? Oh, and Bob Odenkirk also appears in the film. So does Dave Foley. Two great comedians, one mediocre movie. Completely unessential in the monkey movie pantheon, but really not as bad as everyone made it out to be. --Joe Garden joegarden@yahoo.com [VIDEO REVIEW] NOW ON VIDEO AND DVD: MVP MOST VALUABLE PRIMATE Jack is a chimp. A primate researcher is educating Jack to be a superchimp, but his secret passion is skating on rollerblades with the semi-retarded janitor. When the researcher dies, as indicated by the spilling of his milk on the floor, the University's other researchers are less interested in making Jack a superchimp than in infecting him with nasty diseases. The janitor arranges his escape to a California sanctuary by train--only Jack oversleeps and winds up in Canada! Canada is a land of tolerance where monkeys and Jews can live side by side: In Canada, there are Christmas trees lit with stars of David and stores filled with bananas! He meets a hockey-playing boy whose team of ragtag misfits needs a shot in the arm to get them going--and that shot happens to be a chimp named Jack. It's a fun movie, filled with plenty of chimp reaction shots and reaction-to-the-chimp shots. Jack brings the family together and escapes being euthanised. The one thing it didn't have was the referee closing a hilariously oversized tome and saying "Nothing in the rulebook that says a chimp can't play hockey." Dave Thomas is in the film, but he is squandered. --Joe Garden joegarden@yahoo.com [POEM] "MIGHTY, MIGHTY PRIMATE: RECONSIDERED" Ladies and gentlemen, Mighty, Mighty Primate is a great, great movie. Initially we all had our doubts. But it's great. The part where I was lashed to the bow of the ship with iron chains in a typhoon made me cry. As the elected representative of giant apes everywhere, I implore you, world leaders: unplug those spots in the parking lot, send the helicopter squadrons home. Remember the lesson of Mighty, Mighty Primate: whenever a plane load of missionaries crashes in the Himalayas, a giant ape will feed them. Whenever a crack team of Chinese explorers loses their footing on a rope ladder and plunges into a cavernous gorge, a giant ape will catch them. Thank you. Now I'd like to give you all an opportunity to admire and touch my incredible nip ples. --Jennifer L. Knox ezcheezeplus@hotmail.com [EDITORIAL REPRINT, ATTACHED] OSCAR WILDE FROM THE WASHINGTON POST, 1882 The monkey reference here is only indirect, but I wanted to share this item from the Washington Post editorial pages, circa January 1882. It was reprinted in a magazine I found on the curb here in Brooklyn, the Fessenden Review, a mid-80s (apparently) literary review that I have grown somewhat obsessed with over the past couple of days. --Carrie McLaren carrie@stayfreemagazine.org [LIMITED TIME OFFER] "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S TEMPORARY" TATTOOS Display your enthusiasm for primates to all!

According to reports, producers 20th Century Fox have quashed a scene involving a human Mark Wahlberg and an apeish Helena Bonham Carter consummating their love. Special effects guru Rick Baker, a veteran of the Star Wars saga, told the US Daily News that Burton had: "Wanted to have sexual tension between [the two]. Tim wanted her to be sexually attractive to [human] men." But when the final cut is released in cinemas, viewers will see nothing more bestial than a chaste kiss. A Fox insider told the newspaper: "Fox thought American audiences would recoil and that the movie would get an NC-17 rating. That would kill the movie for kids." The studio continues to deny that it has wielded the axe over Burton's simian-human sex sequences, but a "friend" of Bonham Carter confirms that: "The scene was in there originally, but the studio freaked out." The movie is scheduled for an August release in the UK.

A6 HEADLINE: India goes bananas over monkey business BYLINE: Julian West SOURCE: The Telegraph DATELINE: DELHI BODY: The Indian government has put several large monkeys on its payroll in a last-ditch attempt to scare away thousands of smaller rhesus monkeys that have been attacking New Delhi's civil servants, sabotaging hotlines and stealing state secrets. The fearsome-looking langur monkeys now patrol South Block, the magnificent red sandstone complex that houses the defence, external affairs and finance ministries -- as well as the army headquarters and Delhi's main hospital -- snarling menacingly at intruders. Each receives a salary of $22 Cdn a month, paid in bananas. Monkeys have plagued Delhi's government offices and private houses for several years, raiding fridges, snapping power lines and taking free bus rides. Recently, the problem has become almost uncontrollable and several million rhesus monkeys swarm over the capital. At least 10,000 have taken up residence in South Block. The army chief and his officers, as well as senior civil servants at adjoining ministries, now sit in caged rooms after files containing top secret documents were found strewn in corridors and power cables to computers containing sensitive data were snapped. Visiting ambassadors have been threatened by screeching primates swinging down from the trees. An army major was hospitalized for rabies injections after a female bit him, and staff at the foreign ministry contracted jaundice after a monkey drowned in the water tank. Elsewhere in Delhi, monkeys have stolen whisky from vendors, power supplies have been disabled and a man died last year when monkeys dropped a flower pot on his head. Meanwhile, Delhi's transport authorities hired a monkey-catcher to rid their buses of monkey passengers, but the scheme had only limited success because the animals are ferocious when captured. Two years ago, the government held a high-level meeting to address the problem and various schemes, such as setting up a special park for captured monkeys or neutering the animals, were mooted and rejected. An earlier plan to trap the pests and ship them to neighbouring states, broke down after many states complained they had enough trouble coping with their own monkey problems. South Block's monkeys have decamped to Delhi's main post office. The city's residents, who are accustomed to losing large quantities of their mail through pilfering, have resigned themselves to yet more monkey business.

[and] threatened to kill the other animals, which had gathered near Suzie's body." - - - - - - - - - St. Louis Post-Dispatch April 26, 2001, Thursday, FIVE STAR LIFT EDITION SECTION: JEFFERSON COUNTY POST, Pg. 1 HEADLINE: FAMILY GRIEVES OVER SHOOTING DEATH OF CHIMP; KILLING WAS USELESS SINCE ANIMAL WAS SEDATED, OWNER SAYS BYLINE: Chris Carroll; Of The Post-Dispatch The owners of a chimpanzee that escaped and was shot to death near Festus last week say that they remain in mourning for an animal that had become more than just a pet in the nearly 20 years it lived with them. It was like watching a loved one die, says Connie Casey. She was trying to capture the 28-year-old chimp, Suzie, when a youth who lives nearby shot the ape several times with a shotgun. Suzie already had been shot with a tranquilizer dart and was immobilized when the shooting occurred, various witnesses say. "It was like a member of the family got killed," she said. "All these guys are like members of our family." It is legal to shoot animals in self-defense, authorities say. However, if the youth, who turns 18 today, is believed to have shot the chimp for no reason, he could be charged with a felony, a prosecutor said. No charges had been filed by Tuesday's deadline for the Jefferson County Post, and authorities had not released the shooter's name. Connie Casey and her husband, Mike, own Chimparty, a company that supplies young chimps for parties, commercials and other activities. They also run the Missouri Primate Foundation, a refuge for rescued chimps or retired zoo animals. The Caseys currently have several baby chimpanzees living in their house. The young animals scamper around wearing disposable diapers, swing in baby swings and sleep in cribs. A huge cage in their living room allows other animals access to the family quarters. It's not so strange, Casey says. Chimps and other apes are close relatives to humans. "The DNA makeup of a chimpanzee is 99 percent the same as us," she said. "They have the same bones and organs, and blood from them can actually be transfused to us, which, unfortunately for them, is why they're so often used for research." Coco, one of two chimpanzees that escaped along with Suzie but was not hurt, was raised with the Casey's children "like a brother," Mike Casey said. "If you raise them like kids, they grow up around people, and they're extremely tame," Connie Casey said. They're capable of grief, the Caseys say. Since the violent death of Suzie, the other 23 chimps the Caseys own have been abnormally quiet. "Since it happened, everybody's just been laying around," Connie Casey said. "They're grieving. They definitely know someone is missing." There are differing accounts of the events that led up to the death of the animal. Suzie and the other chimps escaped after Connie Casey failed to properly secure the lock on their cages, she admits. Mike Casey was out of town with other animals, making a TV commercial. The animals left the Casey property and soon were in the nearby yard of the house where the youth lives. He arrived home with friends and killed the chimp soon thereafter, he told Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputies. Authorities say the boy told deputies that his friends were trapped in the truck by the three apes, which, he said, were aggressive and threatening and that he was forced to protect them with a gun. Reached by telephone at home earlier this week, the youth refused to comment. He will be retaining a lawyer, he says. But witnesses said the killing of the ape appeared unnecessary. J.C. Wills, a man whose house is only yards from where the shooting took place, said the youth's statements to police were untrue. The youth and his friends, who had driven up in a truck while Connie Casey was pursuing the animals, had all gone safely into the house, Wills says. Only then, he said, did the youth emerge with a shotgun. "We told those boys to go in their house and stay there, and they won't have any problems, but instead, one of them gets a gun and comes out," Wills said. "That chimp had been shot with a tranquilizer dart and was no harm to anyone, but he shot him three times with a shotgun." A woman who slowed down to see the commotion as she drove by the house saw Suzie in the yard and the boy with the shotgun on the porch and guessed trouble was brewing. "I saw the chimpanzee sitting under a bush near the road, and I knew it was under control," said Christine Thomas, who lives nearby. "But then I saw that boy on the porch with his friends, and they had a gun; and I knew what they were going to do." Thomas says it was obvious that the youths were in no danger. "(Suzie) was just sitting at the bush, playing with it, smelling its leaves, petting the tree, like monkeys do," she said. The youth shot Suzie three times while Connie Casey, Wills and contractors who had been working on Casey's house stood nearby, begging him not to fire. The youth threatened to kill the other animals, which had gathered near Suzie's body. Connie Casey and the contractors shielded them with their bodies, they said. The Caseys say they want to pursue federal charges because chimpanzees are federally protected, endangered animals. GRAPHIC: PHOTO Color Photos by DAVID Y.

C1 HEADLINE: CHIMPANZEES; A FATAL SHOOTING HAS SPURRED DEBATE OVER WHETHER ARE HARMLESS NEIGHBORS OR; DANGEROUS WILD ANIMALS BYLINE: Chris Carroll; Of The Post-Dispatch BODY: * Authorities continue to investigate the killing this month of a chimpanzee by a teen-ager in Jefferson County. Experts say chimps can be dangerous. But some neighbors say the animal was no threat. One of the perks of living in her neighborhood, Lynn Boischel says, is that she gets to watch the neighbors mow the lawn. Boischel will sometimes stroll down the side of Highway CC in southern Jefferson County to take in a madcap scene: chimpanzees heading out with their toothy grins on a riding mower, cutting erratic patterns across the grass. "They do fine," Boischel said, with a laugh. "I'm not saying they mow in perfectly straight lines or anything." The neighborhood chimps live in a compound owned by Connie and Mike Casey. They run Chimparty, a federally licensed business that supplies young chimps for parties, TV commercials and other entertainment uses. The Caseys also run the Missouri Primate Foundation, a home for older chimps. The recent killing of one of the chimps has shaken the area. Boischel and others who have grown fond of the chimpanzees over the years say they are enraged by the fatal shooting of Suzy, a 28-year-old chimp who had lived at the primate facility for years. A neighbor, 18, shot Suzy on April 19 after she escaped with two other chimps from an unlocked cage at the 15-acre Chimparty facility. Killing a chimp in captivity can be a federal offense. It's also a big deal in this neighborhood, where the apes are considered neighbors, and children's birthday parties have been held that had humans and chimps as guests. There are even tales of parents becoming concerned about children assuming apelike behavior after too much time spent with young chimps. According to neighbors, the escaped apes were essentially out for a walk when the teen took a shotgun and mortally wounded Suzy, who was nearly unconscious from a tranquilizer dart shot by Connie Casey. The dying animal was euthanized soon afterward. "These chimps have been here for so long and they've never bothered anyone. In fact, everyone really likes them," Boischel said. "To me, I consider what he did cold-blooded murder." But the shooter, whose name is being withheld because he has not been charged, painted a far different picture for investigators. He refused to speak to a reporter who made numerous attempts to contact him. In his version of events, the chimps appear not as funny animals on riding mowers and certainly not as neighbors but as large, frightening wild beasts. He and his friends arrived home to be confronted by angry chimps, which surrounded and began to attack the car - rocking it back and forth and leaving a dent, he told investigators. When the people tried to leave the vehicle, the chimps charged, the shooter said. He ran for the house, where he retrieved a shotgun, he told authorities. With his friends, his dog and his property threatened, he decided to shoot, he said. Bob Wilkins, Jefferson County's prosecuting attorney, has said the shooting could lead to felony animal cruelty and felony property destruction charges if it is found to have been needless. But for now, he says, he's having a hard time making heads or tails of what went on. "From the (police) report, you can't make sense of it," he said. "It was like these people were in two different states. The shooter says they were attacked and he had to make a break for it, and the other people say, no, (the chimps) were just out walking around." Primate experts from zoos - who disapprove of people like the Caseys using chimps for entertainment or breeding them for sale - say that regardless of exactly what happened on April 19, there's truth in both views of chimps: They can appear as entertaining neighbors, but they are also dangerous wild animals. Scientists at the St. Louis Zoo declined to comment other than to say the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums condemns privately selling chimps or using them for entertainment. The Caseys counter by saying their parties have educational and conservation value and that chimps are sold only after an extensive background check and with a no-resale policy. Tammie Bettinger of the Cleveland Metro Park Zoo, the vice chairwoman of the zoos and aquarium association's Survival Plan for chimpanzees, says chimps can be extremely dangerous to humans. "No matter how much they might seem like us sometimes, they are chimps and not people," she said. "They don't share our Judeo-Christian ethics. They don't share our code of conduct. They are five times stronger than the average human male." They may be even more dangerous to themselves and humans if they live in close contact with humans, she says. "They are no longer afraid of you at all," she said. Some physical evidence at the scene, including the dent on the car and a broken window, seemed to support the boys' claims about an ape onslaught, Wilkins says. But every witness who spoke to a reporter disputed the account of the shooter. Each denied there was any danger to anyone by the time the shooting took place. "Those kids were all over the place, cussing and hollering and saying, 'Kill the blankety-blank monkeys,'" said Mark Lahmann, a contractor from Sullivan working at the Caseys' who was helping to recapture the apes at the time of the shooting. "Wasn't a one of them scared or in danger." J.C. Wills, the next-door neighbor of the Caseys and the shooter, said the boy had plenty of time to think over his actions. He then took aim and shot the chimp, which was motionless and facing away from him near the road. "The woman who owns the chimp was putting herself between the boy with the gun and the chimp, trying to save it," he said. "She was begging him not to, but he went ahead and shot anyway." Connie Casey and her husband want the teen who shot Suzy punished. "This was a murder," she said. "She was no threat to him. He just wanted to kill her, and that's what he did." After Jefferson County sheriff's deputies left and took the shotgun with them, Boischel's husband approached the shooter. She could hear his boast plainly, she said. "'I just got myself a monkey' is what he said," Boischel said. "He was all hyped up that he'd just killed Suzy." GRAPHIC: PHOTO (1) Color Photo by DAVID Y.

(AP) - An 8-month-old monkey named Sagan was stolen from his zoo cage, probably by someone who had a key, police said. Blood was found outside his cage at the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, and local hospitals were asked to notify police if someone comes in with a monkey bite. The 6-pound black capuchin monkey was taken Tuesday night, Gulf Shores police Investigator Darrell Franklin said. The intruders probably used a water hose to spray Sagan's parents, Chi Chi and Al, until they hid, then captured Sagan with a net, zoo director Patti Hall said. ``They knew just how to separate a baby from its mother,'' Hall said. Sagan is worth $3,500 to $5,000 and could be sold as an exotic pet, Hall said. Chi Chi, who is pregnant, wouldn't eat Wednesday, and Al was abnormally aggressive, Hall said. ``We've got stressed-out monkeys and stressed-out keepers,'' Hall said. ``We consider these monkeys to be our babies. This is like having a child kidnapped.'' The zoo also was broken into Monday, when someone freed two monkeys and two 40-pound caracal cats, Hall said. The animals were contained after the break-in was discovered Tuesday. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

The incident occurred 90 minutes into the scheduled flight between Sanaa and Damascus. Chaos reigned, as women and children screamed and crew members struggled to catch the escaped baboon, the agency said. The baboon turned out to be part of an illegal consignment of Hamadryas baboons that a smuggler had knocked out with anaesthetic and then brought on board in two boxes. Awaiting repatriation Security agents on board the plane arrested the smuggler, who was named as Badih. He is reported to have admitted he was taking the baboons to Syria to sell for $3,000. The baboons are now said to be in police custody at Damascus Airport, awaiting repatriation to Yemen. The Hamadryas baboon species is unique to the mountains of Yemen and the south-western Saudi province of Asir. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeremy Kingfish Salmon jdsalmon@engin.umich.edu www.umich.edu/~jdsalmon/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Big Page o' Live Rock Star Pics: www.umich.edu/~jdsalmon/pics -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From CGarber8@aol.com Sat May 05 10:26:08 2001 Return-Path: Received: from imo-m08.mx.aol.com ([64.12.136.163]) by franklin.oit.unc.edu with SMTP (Lyris List Manager SOLARIS/SPARC version 4.0); Sat, 05 May 2001 00:43:15 -0400 Received: from CGarber8@aol.com by imo-m08.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v30.10.) id v.e0.141fe9d1 (2168) for ; Sat, 5 May 2001 00:42:58 -0400 (EDT) From: CGarber8@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Sat, 5 May 2001 00:42:57 EDT Subject: (no subject) To: monkeywire@franklin.oit.unc.edu MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 5.0 for Windows sub 124 Goin' ape over the landscape http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/uniontrib/wed/metro/news_7m2orang.html By James Steinberg STAFF WRITER May 2, 2001 The scene at the San Diego Zoo's orangutan enclosure yesterday seemed familiar -- five apes examining a monolith, wondering what to do next. Only it wasn't an outtake from the movie classic "2001: A Space Odyssey," but a panel of zoo experts determined to undo what the hand of man had wrought. And so the orangutans spent the day abusing a 700-pound "tree trunk" made of steel rebar, metal lath and concrete. If the faux tree survives the test, it could be the model for the new climbing structure in the orangutan exhibit, scheduled for renovation next year. Indah, a 15-year-old female, was the first orangutan to enter the enclosure shorty after 9 a.m. yesterday, when the testing began. "She's spotted it," said Kim Livingstone, one of the keepers. "Now she's wondering what it is . . . she'll touch it . . . she's the destroyer . . . she uses her teeth." Indah was followed by Clyde, who, at 275 pounds, is the biggest of the Sumatra orangutans in the enclosure. With persistence, Clyde finally budged the stump, which was partially buried in the ground and chained to an adjacent pole. "It took four of us to do that, and Clyde did it with one hand," Livingstone said. The other orangutans -- Josephine, Satu and Karen -- quickly followed. They pushed, poked, hugged, nudged, climbed, sniffed, tasted and sat on the stump, and also on a smaller test piece a few feet away. They also excavated handfuls of dirt out of the ground and used it to fill the hollows in both artificial stumps. Then they withdrew to contemplate their next moves. "They'll be back," Livingstone said. "And they'll spend all day trying to destroy it or push it over." What the zoo is trying to do is "get away from the telephone-pole look," Livingstone explained. The enclosure's current climbing structure is made of an assembly of poles and ropes, which have stood the test of time and orangutans. But the search is on for more natural-looking materials, and more than a half-dozen combinations of steel cable and chains covered with polymer have been placed in the enclosure for testing. They flunked, having been chewed, peeled and picked apart by the apes, said keeper Mike Bates as he displayed the failures. "Only one has withstood the test so far," he said, pointing to an 8-foot polymer-coated metal bar suspended horizontally half-way up the climbing structure. The orangutans within the last month have gained the upper hand on one of the vertical poles in the enclosure, which is starting to come apart at the top. And the danger, explained zoo spokeswoman Christina Simmons, "is that we don't know what they're going to do with the pieces." In the past, the apes have used bits and pieces of things for all sorts of mischief, from shattering the glass windows of their enclosure -- laminated, like a car windshield, so they still hold together -- to outright escape. The zoo's orangutan escapee par excellence, the late Ken Allen, became a local folk hero in the 1980s after three widely publicized breaks for freedom. He also was a prime example of orangutan intelligence and ingenuity, forcing the zoo to hire experienced rock climbers to find every finger-and toe-hold in the orangutan enclosure. The zoo then spent $40,000 to eliminate them. How was yesterday's entry in the orangutan-proof sweepstakes holding up? "We usually know within the first hour if they can destroy it," Bates said. "It's intact, it hasn't turned over, so we're happy so far."

I've seen this before and it is truly a touching story, if you can stand the mullet-tude.

At least one person has died and 35 others injured in attacks or panic-stricken attempts to escape their marauders, police and media reports said. "Shoot at sight orders have been issued to stop these monkey creatures," said a police spokesman of Ghaziabad, a sprawling township of around 150,000 located 35 kilometres (22 miles) north of the Indian capital. "We suspect there are at least two people behind these attacks," he added. Residents of Ghaziabad and adjoining areas had reported being mauled or badly scratched by the "man-monkeys" in a string of attacks over the past few days. [...] One person had died and 19 others were injured after attacks by the "man-monkeys," a police spokesman said. The police were also baffled by reports the "man-monkeys" could jump down from multi-storey buildings and sprint long distances in seconds, media reports said. One witness, Ganesh Jha, of a local residents' association, said on Saturday (May 12) he had come face to face with a "huge man-monkey" and saw him jump 20 feet (six metres) into the air. So far the "man-monkeys" have been successful in evading a dragnet put in place by the Ghaziabad police. However no case of robbery or sexual assault has been reported, police sources said. - - - - - - - Agence France Presse May 16, 2001 HEADLINE: Animals not "man-monkeys" terrorising New Delhi residents: police New Delhi police said Wednesday animals could be behind a series of mysterious attacks which have left two dead and caused panic among residents. The attacks -- in which the victims have been mauled or badly scratched -- have been blamed so far on men masquerading as monkeys. Two people -- a man and a pregnant woman -- have died and at least 35 others injured in attacks on residents or panic-stricken attempts to escape their marauders, police and media reports said. A senior New Delhi police official said Wednesday the evidence so far suggested the attacks could be caused by animals. "We have not reached any conclusion," Suresh Roy, joint commissioner of police in charge of the eastern part of the Indian capital, told AFP. "But the opinion of the doctors is that the injuries sustained by the victims appear to be caused by something which is apparently animal like, monkey like." [...] Descriptions given by people varied from a man dressed like a monkey about four feet (1.2 metres) tall with "tawny eyes and large claws," to a "black coloured monkey about five feet (1.5 metres) in height," according to a report in the Indian Express. The description by Hemwati Sharma, a resident of eastern New Delhi to the newspaper said, the marauder was over seven feet (2.1 metres) in height with "green lights for eyes and springs on its feet." Despite the fantastic descriptions, the police were taking the complaints seriously and doubling efforts to apprehend the mischief-makers, commissioner Suresh Roy said. "The fact is that somebody has struck these people," Roy said. The New Delhi police received about 25 calls Tuesday night, "all of which turned out to be hoax," the official added. - - - - - - - - - AP Worldstream May 16, 2001 HEADLINE: Another killed, more injured following panic over 'monkey man' attacks Police ran short of vehicles to chase dozens of reported sightings of a superpowered ''monkey man'' as panicked residents spilled out of their homes in fear. A pregnant woman died late Tuesday night while trying to escape as neighbors screamed that the monkey man was coming. [...] Police have blamed the panic on uneducated poor people, many of them superstitious and strong believers in the supernatural. Their fears may be exacerbated by sweltering heat and darkness due to electricity cuts. But police also took the time to tell the public they have been unsuccessful at trying to nab the elusive attacker who allegedly has been sighted in more than 50 locations in New Delhi during a single night. The six months pregnant woman sleeping on her rooftop terrace slipped down the stairs when neighbors screamed from nearby rooftops that the monkey man had struck, the Statesman newspaper reported. She was rushed to a hospital where she died a few hours later. One man was killed late Monday when he jumped off the roof of his house during a purported attack, screaming, ''The monkey has come!'' Many people who called the police claiming to have been attacked by the monkey man have scratches on their bodies, the Times of India reported. However, veterinarians who examined the marks said they weren't caused by any animal, the newspaper said. ''It seems a group of people in masks are terrorizing people,'' the Statesman quoted an unidentified police officer as saying. However, the harassed police force in New Delhi stepped up patrolling and faced a shortage of vehicles. It also urged the state-run power company to ensure uninterrupted power supply from dawn to dusk so that panicked residents would feel safer with the lights on. The power-starved capital routinely has power cuts during the sweltering summer. ''It is nothing but mass hysteria. We have increased patrolling in areas which have reported such cases,'' said Manoj Kumar Lal, deputy commissioner of police in east Delhi. The public's fear of the monkey man is so great that residents of Noida, a New Delhi suburb, caught and beat up a 4-foot-tall wandering Hindu mystic, mistaking him for the simian terror, the Statesman said. The mystic, identified only as Jamir, was found by a crowd of people in a nearby forest performing some rituals, beaten up and handed to the police. Thousands of people crowded outside the police station for a glimpse of the alleged monkey man, causing a near stampede. Police said they had a difficult time sending away the people even after they had established the man was innocent.

A majority (85 percent) of those surveyed believe that chimpanzees have complex social, intellectual and emotional lives similar to humans, pointing out the awareness that chimps are social and usually live in large groups that include extended families. The survey, conducted last month by Zogby International of Utica, N.Y., found that nearly nine in 10 Americans feel it is unacceptable to confine chimps to government-approved cages. ``It is evident from the many letters, phone calls and e-mails we receive on a daily basis that Americans are increasingly concerned for the overall welfare of chimpanzees,'' said Holly Hazard, executive director for DDAL. ``The chimpanzee is an animal with physical and emotional traits closely related to humans, and there are special bonds between humans and these primates. The results of the survey confirmed the unique concern and care for chimps that Americans have.'' Random interviews of 1,217 adults were conducted nationwide from April 24 through April 27, 2001 (with a margin of error of +/-3 percent). Other findings include: * A little more than half of the Americans surveyed (51 percent) believe that chimps should have the same legal standing as children, with a guardian appointed to look after their interests. * Seven in 10 (69 percent) Americans would support a law that gives concerned parties the right to sue on behalf of abused chimps. * One in four (24 percent) last saw a chimp in a television documentary, 22 percent in a television commercial and 21 percent last saw a chimp in a zoo. * Although many saw those chimps confined, most respondents believe that chimpanzees should be treated as well as possible if they have to be in captivity. Nine in 10 (90 percent) told pollsters it is unacceptable to confine chimps to 5-by-5-by-7- foot cages (the legal space requirements under the Animal Welfare Act), and 80 percent believe the government should pay for permanent retirement to a primate sanctuary for chimps who are no longer used for laboratory or experimentation purposes. * When asked about the use of chimps in the entertainment industry, more than half (51 percent) say they would have no problem boycotting entertainment venues and their advertisers if it were disclosed that chimps had been physically abused to make them perform. ``There were geographical and gender differences between those surveyed -- with younger people and women, for example, finding research on chimps much less acceptable,'' Hazard added. ``Overall, though, the concern is evident on behalf of most Americans.'' The Doris Day Animal League was founded in 1987 by Doris Day to seek permanent changes in local, state and federal legislation to protect animals and has successfully sponsored numerous bills.

A 19-year-old man was injured and his car smashed early Friday in the eastern part of the city, the reports said. A group of vigilante residents, armed with sticks and torches, mistook the teenager to be the monkey man and attacked him. Meanwhile, police have arrested two people on charges of spreading rumours and terror. According to the United News of India (UNI), one of the people arrested was a doctor who was blackening surgical gloves and throwing them around to scare people. The police have also been inundated with fake calls from different parts of the city about the monkey man. UNI said that on Thursday night, police control rooms received about 30 fake calls in connection with the monkey man. A reward of 50,000 rupees (just over 1,000 U.S. dollars) has been announced for anyone who provides information regarding the identity of the monkey man, who has been terrorising people for a week. Since Sunday, residents of the city have reported attacks by a "creature with a monkey-like face". Initial complaints by people who said they had been scratched by a monkey triggered widespread rumours. Some people believe the assailant is controlled by a master computer, others that he is "half man, half monkey" and then there are some who think he is invisible.

Vigilantes are taking to the streets frustrated at the police's failure to catch him. In Noida, a mechanic wearing a black outfit and fitting a description of the Monkey Man was beaten up. A second man was attacked for apparently performing "mystical formulations". Some witnesses say the failure to capture the Monkey Man is explained by his ability to make himself invisible.

Doctor Sandeep Vohra, president of Delhi Psychiatric Society, explains the Monkey Man panic as mass delusion. Ten years ago, groups of Nigerian men became convinced their genitals would disappear if they touched a stranger. An Indian journalist has accused the police and local government officials in north-east Delhi of contributing to the hysteria which has led to vigilantes beating up two men and a monkey. Pankaj Vohra of The Hindustan Times says police irresponsibly issued a cartoon sketch of the Monkey Man and offered a reward for information leading to his capture. He adds the mystery started when an auto rickshaw driver in Ghaziabad claimed he'd been attacked by a passenger who changed his appearance during the journey. He says the myth has grown, despite the creature never leaving behind hair or footprints. Mr Vohra also accused parents of scaring their children. He says one boy appeared on television saying his father told him the Monkey Man came from another planet in a flying saucer. The National Human Rights Council says a group of 11 Hindu priests will hold a special prayer ceremony tomorrow to appease the creature. Police have arrested a number of hoaxers and have asked shop owners to make a note of anyone who buys Monkey Man related masks or gloves. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_299219.html From carrie@stayfreemagazine.org Tue May 22 11:21:31 2001 Return-Path: Received: from smtp10.atl.mindspring.net ([207.69.200.246]) by franklin.oit.unc.edu with SMTP (Lyris List Manager SOLARIS/SPARC version 4.0); Tue, 22 May 2001 11:21:02 -0400 Received: from [165.121.73.208] (user-2iniieg.dialup.mindspring.com [165.121.73.208]) by smtp10.atl.mindspring.net (8.9.3/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA29608 for ; Tue, 22 May 2001 11:19:59 -0400 (EDT) X-Sender: stayfree@mail.metalab.unc.edu Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Tue, 22 May 2001 11:13:38 -0400 To: monkeywire@franklin.oit.unc.edu From: Carrie McLaren Subject: Gorilla Zuri to debut in Calgary Calgary Herald May 18, 2001 Friday New arrival's going ape waiting for troop debut by Sorcha McGinnis Zuri is a lovely, young debutante who can't wait to be introduced to Calgary society. The four-year-old western lowland gorilla jetted in from Toronto on April 26, but her first three weeks in the city have been marred by a slight funk -- an obligatory 30-day quarantine has prevented Zuri from integrating with the Calgary Zoo's troop of eight gorillas. That that will soon change. "She's just waiting for an opportunity to meet all those other fellows she can hear and smell," said Calgary Zoo spokeswoman Trish Exton-Parder. "It won't be long before she has some excitement in her life." Zuri's temporary and comfortable straw-filled quarters are located in the primate building, a stone's throw from her future home. She has visual contact with the troop, but must keep to herself, taking part in "enrichment activities" that mimic gorillas' experiences in the wild. She can climb concrete trees and extract food and juice from cylinders. Zuri is also very busy familiarizing herself with the zoo's sights and sounds. Zuri was born at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs and moved to the Toronto Zoo in her second year. Rob Sutherland, Zuri's keeper, said the decision to move the gorilla from Toronto was "entirely altruistic." Calgary's troop, headed by a paternal, calm and aloof silverback named Kakinga, is stable and happy, but Zuri was having problems adjusting to the Toronto gorillas. "We want her to walk into adulthood as a troop member instead of a fighting female," Sutherland said.

"This monkey makes people uneasy," said Garry Manes, village animal warden. "From a distance they think it's a small child, and it's frightening when they peer into the hairy face of an animal." As shoppers would shriek, police and village officials could do little to stop the monkey from running loose in Northbrook. The suburb has plenty of regulations dealing with cats and dogs, but had nothing on the books for pet monkeys. "We need to have more control than we do now," Manes said. "We have to have the option to bring in the law if needed." The Village Board was expected to approve an amendment to the law Tuesday night that would ensure that Ergar -- the 30-pound, pigtail monkey that strolls Northbrook Court -- can't go out in public without some regulations. Ergar's owners could not be reached for comment. Under the ordinance, owners of dangerous or undomesticated animals (i.e. lions, tigers, monkeys and life-threatening reptiles) must keep their pets in an "escape-proof" cage if they bring them outside. "We would prefer not to have them in Northbrook at all, but we're trying to be fair to people's rights," Manes said. "People think that a monkey is a cute pet when it's a baby, but when it's full grown, neighbors have concerns that a 30-pound monkey is flying through the air."

A Primate's Memoir by Robert M. Sapolsky Scribner 304 pages, $25 "I joined the baboon troop during my twenty-first year. I had never planned to become a savanna baboon when I grew up; instead, I had always assumed I would become a mountain gorilla." So begins Robert Sapolsky's new book, A Primate's Memoir, about the time he spent in Kenya's Serengeti over the pas= t twenty years, researching a troop of baboons. While an undergraduate at Harvard, Sapolsky decided to study the relationship between stress and social hierarchy in primates=97Who gets sick from stress-related disease an= d why?=97to see what that could tell us about stress in human beings. The Serengeti baboons, unlike mountain gorillas, were perfect for his research: Baboons live in big, complex social groups, and the population I went to study lived like kings.... 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.... We live well enough to have the luxury to get ourselves sick with purely social, psychological stress. But this is no dry academic treatise on observing animals in the wild. Sapolsky gave each baboon a name out of the Old Testament according to its personality, and in his telling, the story of the baboons he's followed so carefully over the years reads almost like a soap opera=97albeit a kooky on= e. Will Solomon ward off the depredations of Uriah and remain king of the troop? Will Bathsheba survive her clash with the vengeful Nebuchanezzar? Will Joshua's love for Ruth be reciprocated? (In this last case, yes. Joshu= a and Ruth produce Obadiah, whom Sapolsky describes as "one weird-looking kid= . He had a narrow head and long stringy hair that formed an elongated wing in the rear; he looked like a dissipated fin de si=E8cle Viennese neurotic.") Sapolsky's daily interactions with the baboons center on his quest to dart = a baboon a day with anesthetic, so he can take its blood pressure, test its level of cholesterol and stress hormones, and so on. But the baboons have a wily intelligence, and Sapolsky is forced to spend much of his time and ingenuity devising ways to hide his intentions. He takes to wearing what he calls Southern sheriff glasses to hide his eyes. He dons ski masks and Halloween disguises. He camouflages his blow gun as a walking stick. As he writes with his customary verve, You find yourself, a reasonably well-educated human with a variety of interests, spending hours each day and night obsessing on how to outmaneuve= r these beasts, how to think like them, how to think better than them. Usuall= y unsuccessfully. Your mind runs wild with unlikely schemes, using hang gliders, hot air balloons, mannequins, being wheeled through the forest hidden in a perambulator. But the book is about much more than Sapolsky's encounters with the baboons= . He writes about his run-ins with local Masai warriors; about life in the African bush, chasing off elephants who tromp through his camp and nibble o= n his lean-to; and about the changes wrought on the Serengeti by tourism=97changes that indirectly result in the deaths of several of his baboons. Along with his work as a primatologist, Sapolsky is a professor of biology and neurology at Stanford University, where he runs a lab that researches the effects of stress on brain cells. He is a recipient of a MacArthur Foundation grant, and is the author of two previous books aimed for a lay audience, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers, a look at the science of stress, and The Trouble With Testosterone, essays on various aspects of behavioral biology, including the political and social implications of new discoveries in the field. He lives in San Francisco with his wife and two children. =97Katie Bacon ----------------------------------------------------------------- One of the things that sticks in my mind from reading A Primate's Memoir is the antic sense of fun=97your descriptions of debating with Masai warriors, the scams you fell prey to, and especially the constantly entertaining interactions among the baboons. Could you talk about what it was like to spend years of your life following the baboons so closely? I've now spent more than half my life connected with them. It's a funny mixture. It's one of the emotional foundations of who I am. The baboons remain endlessly interesting. Nonetheless, insofar as they're very familiar to me by now, they have somewhat of a family feeling=97here I am back with them again, I know how everybody here behaves. The continuity is incredible=97the notion that I look at one of these baboons, and I saw her grandmother do something by that same tree twenty-two years ago. Their life history is truncated enough that within twenty years of my life I've seen generations of them, so I can have this epic schlocky novel sort of thing covering four generations of some particular heroic family. What do you think the baboons think of you? To the extent that they have any opinion about me, I'm clearly just a pathetically low-ranking baboon. The way I can tell is that there's this gesture that males will give if somebody is about to beat up on them. They make a solicitive gesture with their face to some other male, trying to get him to join in a coalition, as if to say, Can somebody help me out here? An= d what's clear over the years is that they will try to get me to join, but I am absolutely their last resort. I mean, if nobody else is around, they'll decide I'm worth a try. I think in that regard I count pretty low on their priority list of primates whom they want to have backing them up in a fight= . They do know what humans are by now, and they do some amazing stuff cognitively in terms of dealing with humans. They know Masai versus other humans, by the bright-red clothing that Masai have, and they're terrified o= f the Masai, because the Masai have dogs that chase the baboons, and because some of the Masai kids practice on the baboons with their spears. So I neve= r wear anything red and neither do my field assistants. The baboons definitel= y understand us as something separate from the trees, and something separate on a fundamental level from baboons. At the beginning of each season they keep me within their range of peripheral vision, but within a few days they habituate again, and they basically ignore me. Twenty or so years ago you set out to study how stress affects baboons' health=97and what that could tell us about humans. Now it's accepted that stress can play a role in hardening our arteries or raising our blood pressure, but what was the thinking when you started your research? Much the same. People already recognized the effects of stress on disease. People had much less of a sense of individual differences=97why some individuals are more vulnerable to stress-related disease than others. I think the baboon work has had some impact in that area, showing what stress has to do with social status and the society in which it occurs, with personality, with patterns of social affiliation. And why study stress in baboons rather than humans? Okay, here's an example that shows the advantages: one of the classic stress-related disease links in humans is that if you have this certain personality profile that we call Type A personality, you're more at risk fo= r cardiovascular disease. Maybe the higher risk has something to do with personality and stress, but maybe it has something to do with personality and how likely you are to drink or eat a lot of saturated fats or smoke too much. The trouble is, in the whole health-psychology field, all the links between a personality state or experiential state in humans and a disease outcome have all of these lifestyle confounds gumming things up. Baboons don't smoke, they don't drink, they all have the exact same diet, they're all lean, they're all healthy. So if you go and see the same relationships between stress and disease in baboons, without the lifestyle stuff intervening, that's the clearest demonstration you can get that there are direct links between the personality and the physiology. What would happen if you were studying a troop of baboons that wasn't in th= e Serengeti, where presumably it's easier for them to get food, and they have a less stressful existence because they're in a protected place? That's the advantage of studying these guys=97they're privileged enough tha= t they don't have a whole lot of physical stressors except for occasional droughts and things like that. Their stress is entirely socially generated, so they really are good models for us. Study some marginal baboon populatio= n in some dying ecosystem and it would not be anywhere near relevant to makin= g sense of which middle-aged executive gets heart disease. Our stress is created by our privileged cocooning from ecological stressors; likewise these baboons. How does your work with the baboons relate to what you're working on in the lab? We have no primates in the lab, we almost never have a whole rat in there. Most of what we do is single neurons growing in dishes, so it's very far afield from the baboon world, although there is a connection. My lab looks at the ability of stress hormones to kill brain cells, and basically we are trying to understand on a molecular level how a neuron dies after a stroke, a seizure, Alzheimer's, brain aging, and what these stress hormones do to make it worse. Our goal is to design gene-therapy strategies to save a neuron after one of these disasters. So it's very molecular stuff which wil= l hopefully turn into something clinically useful at some point. Are there ways that human behavior could be changed to avoid some of the social stresses that you've seen? Yes, there's enormous potential. That's what stress management is about, that's what psychotherapy is about, finding religion, or finding your loved one or your hobby=97any of those, they give you more outlets, more of a sen= se of control, more of a sense of predictability, of social support. They give you the means to psychologically finesse ambiguous outside reality. There are exceptions to this, of course: terminal cancer or being a refugee are things that cannot be psychologically finessed, and it winds up bordering o= n scientific offensiveness to preach stress-management techniques for them. But for people with middle-class neurotic problems, these are problems that increase your risk of disease because you interpret ambiguous external events in a way that makes you feel hopeless and helpless and unconnected. Psychological manipulations that push you in the opposite direction do wonders. So the work that you're doing in the lab, on neurons dying because of stress, can be applied to the types of social stresses we're talking about? Absolutely. What we and others are beginning to learn is that stress probably has some relevance to why some of us lose more neurons during brai= n aging than others, as well as to the effects on brain aging of a lifelong problem with major depression, and to what things like post-traumatic stres= s disorder do to the brain=97those all wind up fitting very much into this framework we've been working on. How would you respond to someone who's critical of anthropomorphizing? Does it help us understand baboon behavior if it's described in human terms? No doubt the question is prompted by how I present the baboons at points in the book, and my answer would be, I'm completely opposed to anthropomorphism=97it's lousy science. That's why I'm not doing anything anthropomorphic in my writing about the baboons. If it seems like there's something relating to human attributes in there, it's because they're close relatives. I am not ascribing anthropomorphic, or hominid-like traits to them, but I sure am ascribing complex social primate traits to them, and they seem familiar because they are familiar=97they're our close relatives = in lots of ways. All this is said with the recognition that, nonetheless, I am moving the narrative in my book along at various points by doing a parody o= f anthropomorphizing (for example, discussing how the alpha male baboon was originally thought to lead the hunts, protect against predators, change the light bulbs, etc.). But hopefully it's obvious that this sort of thing is meant to be tongue in cheek. Some people are uncomfortable with the idea that these behaviors can be shared, that you could use a word like "friend" to describe a relationship between two baboons. Maybe people like to think that there's less of a continuum between humans, baboons, and other primates. That's absolutely valid, and it comes in all sorts of political stripes. A right-wing version of that discomfort is that we're letting evolution in th= e back door, letting our biological roots instead of our fundamentalist God-given roots come to the forefront. A more leftist discomfort with that is, What if some unpalatable biological proclivities come out of that connectedness=97proclivities that very much run counter to an optimistic, infinitely malleable picture of humans. Control enough of the societally engineered buttons, this thinking goes, and this can be a world without aggression or domination or stratification. There's a lot of hidden-agenda discomfort from both ends of the political spectrum. In your previous book, The Trouble With Testosterone, you talk about issues of behavioral biology, the interplay of nature and nurture, and the questio= n of how much volition we actually have in our behaviors. How has your study of the baboons played into your thoughts on these issues? One of the most frustrating things about the research I've done in the Serengeti is that it's given me no insight at all into the nature-nurture question, simply because having mostly studied males over the years, all of the males that have become near and dear to me were born in some other troo= p and grew up somewhere else, so I don't know who their mothers were, what their childhoods were like, who the likely father was, anything like that. The confound with the females is that they were born with a rank in a very static hereditary system. Those born into a high-ranking lineage have the best food from before they were born, so there may be all sorts of biological factors, but from their first week of life they're already being treated differently from the daughter of a low-ranking female. One of the only ways to get at these issues is by doing "cross-fostering" studies=97basically the animal equivalent of adoption studies. Then you can see where there's more commonality with the adoptive parent or the biological parent, but that doesn't rule out environmental effects from sharing the mother's bloodstream as a fetus, and things like that. It's a terribly messy field to sort out. To answer your question about how much volition we have, I don't believe in free will. I think it is mostly a cognitively calming myth that we've had t= o invent=97or that most people have=97which is protective against certain typ= es of depression and a pathological overabundance of facing reality. I clearly think religion falls under the auspices of that. At the largest levels, at the levels that get at the basic questions of existence, the room for biological constraints is just so enormous=97and this is not equating biolo= gy with genetics, but rather recognizing that biology is the outcome of at least as many environmental influences as genetic ones. The array of incredibly subtle biological constraints and biological proclivities makes the notion of volition as this separately floating, soul-like entity seem like a creation myth to me. So everything we do has to be connected with what the neurons are doing in our brain? Yes. It's not necessarily deterministic in a point-for-point sort of way, a= s in, here is the neuron or the gene that got activated and caused that behavior. The determinism is very often a more statistical sort of property= , something encompassed in fields like chaos and complexity theory, which basically say that you get predictability coming out of whole systems of complexity rather than being blueprinted down at the level of the single cell or gene. Even if you cannot predict with any sort of scientific accuracy what the weather is going to be nine days from now, there is a deterministic science that tells you why on the average it's warmer during the summer than during the winter, and why on the average ice ages only com= e once every twenty or thirty thousand years. So we probably aren't ever really going to know how a single neuron or gene affects behavior. Exactly, and that's one of the great false hopes of the Human Genome Project=97Aha, that's it, we've got the blueprint for everything now. That = is certainly not the case. The metaphor that's always used is, No amount of reductive scientific knowledge can ever tell you what this one ant is going to do in the next five seconds. But it sure can tell you with a lot of predictive power how ant colonies act=97what they'll start doing more of or less of if you change the temperature this much and the humidity that much. And if you think of a single ant as metaphorically being like the activity of a single neuron, science will never get us to the point where you can sa= y what one neuron is going to do next, or which neuron is responsible for you= r suddenly remembering you left the lights on in the car. Nonetheless, there are emergent properties of the whole that give us a hell of a lot of predictive power. A Primate's Memoir is not only a portrait of the baboon troop you studied, but also a glimpse into the African society that you were tangentially connected to. How dramatically have things in the Serengeti changed since you first started going there? Enormously, at least in all sorts of superficial ways. The population density of humans has gone way up and so has the habitat degradation. Translated into more concrete terms, when I got there in 1978, the nearest school was forty miles away, at the local Masai villages there was one person who spoke English. Now the nearest school is across the river from m= y camp; all the kids speak English; most of the kids are no longer wearing traditional clothes; most of them are no longer living a traditional Masai lifestyle of spending their days tending cows. It's a complete transformation. What is the change being driven by? Tourism; the other, more Westernized tribes bordering Masai areas; the number of Masai kids who have gotten some degree of Western education by now. When I got there, what someone Masai who was oriented a bit toward the outside world would most want was the means to get more of what Masai traditionally valued. This was someone who was thinking, If I can get money from tourists, if I can find a job cleaning camps, I'll be able to afford more cows, I'll be able to be a more powerful or privileged version of a traditional Masai. The transition now is desiring things that have nothing to do with traditional Masaidom=97a digital watch, a pair of blue jeans. Having spent a lot of time in Africa, what do you think of the way it's typically presented in the Western media? I think it's appalling and built around the five-second attention span that the media assumes most people have. The chaos there far too often gets framed as, explicitly or otherwise, what your average reader sees as the most salient feature of Africa=97that these are people of a very different race than your basic white-bread American. What's lost in the baggage is that the tribal differences are as ferocious as Palestinians versus Israeli= s or Serbs versus Croats. You look at Europe's history and they spent a thousand years just savaging each other over tribal issues, and World War I= I was the last, most bloody European tribal conflict. And what Europe and the United States finally figured out is that there's a much better way to do it: just have Third World countries be your surrogate states, and thus instead of the U.S. and the Soviet Union having to have a war, we could pla= y it out between Ethiopia and Somalia or Namibia and South Africa. And if you do it right, on top of it you can even sell your weapons for a profit. There's also this attitude of, Hurray, colonialism is over with, they've ha= d forty or fifty years of freedom to get themselves up on their feet, come on already get it together. But economic colonialism remains devastating there=97we sell and dump all of our pesticides there that we can't use. We = do the same thing with all of our medicines that are expired. Anybody who is wealthy in a place like Kenya has every possible incentive to invest their money in the West, which means that nothing gets fertilized back into their own economy. And in terms of corruption, an affordable purchase of a rhino horn for a wealthy Westerner is years' worth of salary for somebody there=97nobody can remain uncorrupted by that power of money. Africa is a m= ess for lots of reasons, but we certainly have a lot to do with it, and that's often underemphasized. What inspired you to start writing for a lay audience? I was not especially a writer back in college. I think my becoming a writer had much to do with spending a chunk of each year sitting by myself out in = a tent without radio, without newspapers, without a whole lot of people to interact with, without anybody having any sort of similar background to me. I got my mail only once every two weeks, and I got pretty berserk about trying to get letters. I would find during three- or four-month seasons out there that I'd be corresponding with a hundred different people, dashing of= f these one-page aerograms in the hope that anybody would write back. I'd hav= e a couple of hours between blood samples on a baboon, and I'd be sitting around camp and would whip off eight aerograms of the same story over and over. I think that got writing in my blood and taught me a lot about editin= g and how to craft a story. The writing's a blast, because it has such a different tempo from the lab work. In the lab you get an idea, and you get twenty really good, hardworking people researching it, and maybe a year later you get a hint as to whether your idea actually works. Whereas with the writing, you write a paragraph, and you know five minutes later whether it works. It's skimming the surface for the fun stuff, and that's a nice parallel intellectual venture to have while doing these multi-year holding-your-breath-type studies. Were there any models you followed in writing your memoir? Presumably I'm supposed to start citing either Jane Goodall or Lewis Thomas= . But I suspect the writer who's had the most influence on me stylistically i= s Tom Wolfe. I'm not crazy about his novels, but in his journalist days he ha= d amazing rhythm and voice. Something else I had in mind was a movie I saw about fifteen years ago called Never Cry Wolf=97it's about Farley Mowat com= ing of age, doing his wolf research, and eventually something awful and corrupt comes in there and wipes out a bunch of his animals, and he can't really blame the people at the end, because they had their own economic pressures for poaching wolves. The overall shape of that was very appealing. Pauline Kael wrote a review of the movie, which said something like, The problem with the movie is that you're watching this guy learn how to make a fire out there or how to pee in the bushes without freezing, and it's all s= o mundane=97he was far less heroic than his surroundings. I remember thinking= , Bullshit, Pauline Kael! You clearly have never gone camping or done fieldwork. That's the challenge. Forget the big, exciting challenges like wrestling a bison stampeding through camp. No, the real challenge is how to keep the matches from getting wet when the camp floods or how to keep the bugs out of your food.

The monkey has roused the anger of residents of Kundasale by following young women around the town, jumping on them without warning and clinging tenaciously until it was chased away with sticks and stones, the Daily News reported. Apparently having little success with human females, the primate also makes advances on other animals to which it has ``a very strong affinity (particularly) cats and dogs of the opposite sex,'' the newspaper said, adding the creature fed its libido by stealing chocolates from local shops. The monkey business has outraged the town in Sri Lanka's conservative rural heartland where public displays of affection are frowned upon even between humans of the opposite sex.

Not, alas, in the case of Alan Cumming's curious film, Buddy, about a woman who raises a gorilla as a son in which the _Eyes Wide Shut_ star had to snog monkeys. "French kissing a monkey is very different to kissing a human, " Alan explains scientifically. "They have gigantic, wet tongues, which are also very rough. It's like soggy sandpaper. I would have monkey drool all over my face. The chimps misinterpreted my open mouth kissing as grooming, and they would start licking my teeth and under my lips as if I wanted them to look for lice." Just in case it isn't painfully obvious, Cumming, 36, also points out another downside to romance Simian-style. "Chimps have such bad breath. The other consequence is that ape flu is unbelievably brutal to humans. The day after I smooched with the chimps, I got so sick I wanted to die from aches and chills."

Most, if not all, of the animals will return to Chicago, but probably not until 2005 when the zoo's new, much-expanded ape house is expected to open. Leaving Tuesday in an air-conditioned semitrailer truck will be three adult female apes and their leader, Kwan, a young male who last year co-starred in "Return to Me," a movie that had scenes filmed at the zoo. They will travel 14 hours to a new home at Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, S.C. One of the females going with Kwan is Kumba, who in 1970 was the first captive-born gorilla at Lincoln Park and one of the first in the world. She has never been away from the zoo. Sometime next year, the zoo's remaining gorillas, a much larger family now headed by Frank, an aging, 37-year-old silverback male, will be transferred to the Louisville Zoo in Kentucky. Lincoln Park is also looking for a facility that can take its six chimpanzees. When the last of Frank's group leaves, it will be the first time that the zoo has not had a gorilla to show off to visitors since 1930, when it acquired a wild-born toddler named Bushman. Bushman grew to be a legendary giant, the largest ape in captivity, bringing international fame to the zoo. Ever since, Lincoln Park's reputation has been inextricably linked to its gorillas, especially in the 1970s and 1980s, when it was known as the most successful gorilla breeding zoo anywhere. Now the zoo is raising $25 million to raze its old ape house, opened in 1976, and put up a new one whose features will draw on the wealth of new knowledge about chimp and gorilla life that has been amassed in the last 25 years. "I'm in denial," said Kristen Lukas, the zoo's primate curator, about Kwan's group leaving in a few days. "It's so hard to think about them moving, but we are planning to build something really special here." The zoo was fortunate, she said, that the closure of their old ape house coincides with other zoos needing animals to populate new gorilla habitats. "Other zoos that have had to move their gorillas out while building new facilities have had to move them piecemeal," said Steve Thompson, Lincoln Park Zoo's vice president of conservation and science. "They couldn't find anyplace with space for a whole family, so they had split their groups up, scattering each member to a different institution. "That is tough. It's hard on animals to go through introductions to new families, then bring them home a few years later to a whole new reintroduction with their old family group." Experience with moving Because of Lincoln Park's past breeding success, the zoo has moved whole gorilla families before, giving them up to other zoos permanently. That experience will help next Tuesday when keepers will start the day for Kwan and his harem as normally as possible. "Gorillas become upset when their routines are disrupted," said Lukas, "so next Tuesday will start like any other day. One of the first things we have our animals do every day is come to the open mesh walls at the rear of their living spaces to get a quick health check by keepers." As each animal presents its arms as it is trained to do in the morning checkups, the keepers Tuesday will administer a powerful anesthesia. While the animals sleep, veterinarians will take blood samples, listen to heart and lungs, do tuberculosis tests and radiographs of their chests, make sure all are up to date on vaccinations, and do dental exams and teeth cleanings. Once that is done, the sleeping animals will be shifted onto gurneys and wheeled out of the building to transport cages. The cages will not be put on the waiting truck until each wakes up. "We want to make sure they're awake from the anesthesia and are all right before they leave," said Lukas. To ease the strain of the move, keeper Roby Elsner will travel with the gorillas and stay in South Carolina for six months. Kwan and his harem are to arrive in the wee hours June 20. They will walk out of their cages into a vast, lush, densely planted outdoor habitat covering three-quarters of an acre. Living outside might be a problem, at least initially, for two of the females, Kumba and Kowali, 23. Both have spent most of their lives indoors and only grudgingly go out at Lincoln Park when they are given the chance. "Gorillas are neophobic, afraid of the new," said Lukas. "It won't surprise me if it takes some time for Kumba and Kowali to get used to being outdoors." If they want to be inside, they can use Riverbanks' 5,000-square-foot indoor gorilla habitat=8Bthough it is expected all of the gorillas eventually will prefer outdoors. "Our climate is such that our animals can remain outside if they want about 355 days a year," said Satch Krantz, Riverbanks' zoo director. A first for Riverbanks zoo Excitement has been building for several months in South Carolina for the arrival of Kwan and his group, as Riverbanks has never had great apes before, Krantz said. The zoo was happy to get the gorillas=8Beven on a temporary basis. "Right now, it would be impossible for us to start with a breeding group of a male and adult females," said Steve Wing, mammal curator at Riverbanks. "It will take years before we get to that point, so this is a great way for us to get our exhibit started." After Kwan and his group leave, Lincoln Park keepers plan to bring in another breeding male gorilla. The plan is to split Frank's large family of 11 in two before they move to Louisville Zoo's new gorilla park=8Ba move spurred by the family patriarch's advancing age. "Assuming our new building opens in 2005, there's a good chance Frank won't come back, that he'll be deceased by then," Lukas said. "In that case, we'll recombine the two groups and bring them back here as one." Frank is not the only one to be getting up in years. Lukas also singled out two females, Helen, 43, and Debbie, 36, an especially prized "auntie" who, childless herself, has lovingly raised several infants rejected by their mothers. However many come back, the building they will return to will bear little resemblance to the current one. That circular, three-story structure was state-of-the-art when it opened in 1976 and is one of the most successful great-ape facilities in history, but it is badly outdated now. Habitat improvements The most noticeable difference will be in the gorillas' indoor habitats, now a serviceable jumble of steel climbing poles, ropes, concrete platforms and floors covered in straw. The new building's living spaces will be filled with realistic artificial trees, vines and forest streams to suggest to visitors the actual wilderness where gorillas live. More important, the new building will have outdoor yards for each ape family, allowing the animals to spend far more time outside. The facilities also will give keepers and scientists more access to the animals. "It's going to be a great day for the zoo to get the animals back to our new facility," said Lukas. "But first they have to leave so we can build it, and Kwan's group will be the first to go. Tuesday is going to be a big day for those guys."=20 From carrie@stayfreemagazine.org Thu Jun 14 22:34:46 2001 Return-Path: Received: from smtp5ve.mailsrvcs.net ([206.46.170.26]) by franklin.oit.unc.edu with SMTP (Lyris List Manager SOLARIS/SPARC version 4.0); Thu, 14 Jun 2001 22:33:56 -0400 Received: from [162.83.202.204] (adsl-162-83-202-204.nyc.adsl.bellatlantic.net [162.83.202.204]) by smtp5ve.mailsrvcs.net (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id CAA16913819 for ; Fri, 15 Jun 2001 02:33:38 GMT X-Sender: stayfree@mail.metalab.unc.edu Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 22:26:46 -0400 To: monkeywire@franklin.oit.unc.edu From: Carrie McLaren Subject: Slate on "monkeyfishing" "Monkeyfishing: Cruel and unusual? Or good sporting fun?" By Jay Forman http://slate.msn.com/vice/01-06-07/vice.asp Once upon a time in the Florida Keys there was a horrible monkey-infested island called Lois Key. A pharmaceutical company had released a bunch of rhesus monkeys there and left them to breed, thereby supplying research labs around the country with a fresh supply of experimental test subjects. The monkeys hated their new home. They were miserable there, howling and screeching and polluting the pristine waters with their feces. But as terrible as this place was, it harbored a far darker secret. For over time a sport evolved among the local fisherman that they called monkeyfishing, and it was cruel. I joined a friend for a monkeyfishing expedition back in 1996 because I did not believe this kind of thing actually happened. We left Summerland Key in a small skiff one sunny afternoon and motored out down Lois' way. We knew we were getting close to the island when the normally pellucid emerald waters of the lower keys gave way to a filthy brown, and the smell of monkey waste spoiling under the tropical sun rolled over us like a storm. These were not the lovable anthropomorphic orangs of Dunston Checks In fame. These were wild, evil-looking, pissed-off screeching beasts. They glared at us from the shore, pacing. Their incessant yammering filled the air. The island itself was a blasted moonscape fringed by dying trees. The monkeys had eaten away most of the mangroves, and the only ones that remained were shielded by steel cages. Mangroves protect such islands from erosion, but there weren't enough of them to protect this island anymore. As the monkeys reproduced their habitat shrank, and their situation became even more awful. If a zoo is a white-collar prison, this was Oz. Once we found a nice spot, we prepared to fish. Sturdy deep-sea poles were the preferred tackle. I've never heard of anyone landing a monkey on lightweight fly rods, but I suppose it is possible. I have friends who have landed tarpon on them, and tarpon are much bigger than monkeys. A fully-grown rhesus monkey tips the scale at around 30 pounds, while a tarpon can easily break 200. However, monkeys have hands as well as the ability to use primitive tools, an advantage the fish do not possess. In any case, nobody keeps records about this sort of thing. There is no Saltwater Monkeyfishing magazine to lay out proper monkeyfishing etiquette. You can't look up the all-tackle record for a rhesus monkey in the Florida Saltwater Fishing Guide. It's more of the kind of thing that is weepingly confessed around 4 a.m. underneath the bar at El Loro Verde on Whitehead Street in Key West. Fruits were the bait of choice. Apples were good because they stayed on the hook well. Red Delicious were chosen over Granny Smith for the advantage in contrast. Other baits included kiwis, which were more deceptive, but trickier to cast due to their mushy flesh. Oranges worked well; their rinds combined with their bright coloring made them a natural choice. And after a long day of eating its own feces, what monkey could resist a tasty orange? Now came the cruel part. Once the bait was on the hook, I watched as the monkeyfisherman cast it onto the island, then waited. Not for long. The monkeys swarmed round the treat, and when the fisherman felt a strong tug he jerked the pole. I knew he had hooked one by the shriek it made-a primal yowl that set my hair on end. The monkey came flying from the trees, a juicy apple stapled to its palm. He didn't actually land the monkey on the boat, since having a pissed-off, screeching monkey on the end of a hook running around a small skiff trying to bite you is the stuff of nightmares. He practiced a form of "catch and release." Monkeys can't really swim, but the water round the island was shallow. The line was cut and the monkey floundered back to await medical testing. This was an awful thing to watch. I did not actually hook a monkey, but simply being there made me an accessory to the crime. I was not the kind of kid who tortured animals. Quite the opposite, actually. So what was I doing here watching grown men snatch monkeys from trees with quality tackle? A fascination with the bizarre. But still it made me sick. I have a friend in Baltimore who told me about a similar sport involving rats. A local bar, upset about a vermin problem the city was doing nothing to correct, found a unique way to bring attention to the issue. They established a rat-fishing league, complete with uniforms and teams. Hot dogs were the preferred bait. The plan worked-they got plenty of attention-but how it affected the actual issue I am not sure. But why does fishing for rats seem to me to be less barbaric than fishing for monkeys? Both are mammals; they bear live young and nurse them with milk. Both are bitchin' in laboratories. Yet monkeys are several shades closer to ourselves than rats, and that creeping association amplifies the discomfort we feel. But how can torturing one animal be any less cruel than torturing another? If fish could scream, would we still fish? If Bob Kerrey had revealed that he monkeyfished to the New York Times, would we forgive him? Perhaps cruelty is a matter of contrast. When I feel bad about this all I need to do is look to the Chinese. When it comes to torturing animals, they take the cake. I've been in Beijing markets where puppies were crammed into cages to be sold as food, snakes are regularly bled for an aphrodisiac, and a fancy dish called "Three Squeaks" features a live rat embryo. Their voracious appetite for lavish meals and folk remedies are the stuff of World Wildlife Fund nightmares. Yes, all things considered, my crimes are small compared to the Chinese. But then again, that argument works for almost anything. Was this sport barbaric? Yes. Is this a sport, even? Consider fishermen who practice "catch and release" with fish. They basically torture the fish for fun. So in this case torture is a sport, as opposed to, say, murder. Murder is acknowledged as a sport in hunting, so long as you eat the victim and don't merely kill him. This is not the case, however, in war, which is government-sanctioned murder where you do not eat the victim, according to the Geneva Convention. Some people do however collect the ears. This is where war and "trophy" hunting meet. Perhaps I should have eaten the monkey. That would probably have tied up the loose ends. Maybe not even the whole monkey; maybe just go the ritual cannibalistic route and eat the heart for its strength and so on. What I was witness to was cruel. Not like Rwanda cruel but cruel still. It hit home on a gut level, because these animals really are a lot like us. I wish I was not telling this story. Admitting that does not make me any less complicit. But perhaps that is the first step toward coming to terms with it. And after all, I'm the one who has to sleep with myself. The monkeys were removed from the island in December 1999 after years of complaints about their effect on the environment. Rumor has it that the company missed a few, and they still haunt the wreckage of Lois Key. - - - - Slate's editor, Michael Kinsley, responds to reports challenging the truth of this column: http://slate.msn.com/slatefare/01-06-13/slatefare.asp From jack@royaljournal.com Fri Jun 15 11:18:21 2001 Return-Path: Received: from smtp7ve.mailsrvcs.net ([206.46.170.28]) by franklin.oit.unc.edu with SMTP (Lyris List Manager SOLARIS/SPARC version 4.0); Fri, 15 Jun 2001 00:30:11 -0400 Received: from [192.168.0.10] (adsl-151-202-186-8.nyc.adsl.bellatlantic.net [151.202.186.8]) by smtp7ve.mailsrvcs.net (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id EAA32623382 for ; Fri, 15 Jun 2001 04:29:53 GMT User-Agent: Microsoft-Outlook-Express-Macintosh-Edition/5.02.2022 Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2001 00:29:53 -0400 Subject: Man was convicted of stealing a baby monkey from a zoo From: Jack Szwergold To: Monkeywire Message-ID: Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010614/us/brf_monkey_theft_1.html Thursday June 14 2:36 PM ET 'Critter' Kleptomaniac Convicted PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) - A man who testified he was a kleptomaniac when it came to ``critters'' was convicted of stealing a baby monkey from a zoo. Angel Wayne Pratt, 22, was found guilty Wednesday and sentenced to six months in jail. Pratt, who said he had 13 snakes, 20 dogs, a bird, tarantulas and other creatures, had testified he paid $500 to buy the monkey on a roadside. He said he was a kleptomaniac ``as far as critters are concerned,'' but later said he meant he was an animal collector. The Patas monkey, stolen when it was 14 days old, was returned in poor health and had mental problems, said Highway 77 Zoo co-owner Karin Koll. Police found the monkey in July after an officer who had been called to Pratt's home over an unrelated dispute spotted an empty cage with a blanket, pacifier and grapes. Pratt said the grapes were for his Chihuahua. ``You should have seen him trying to feed grapes to that Chihuahua,'' Officer Tony Meekins said.

The Chiba prefectural government recently decided to eliminate the rhesus monkey population, numbering about 100. The decision follows moves by Wakayama Prefecture to kill about 200 Taiwan monkeys that have preyed upon local produce. According to Chiba prefectural officials, about 100 rhesus monkeys are believed to inhabit and area between the city of Tateyama and Shirahamamachi, a coastal town on the peninsula. The monkeys, often used in medical research, are not native to Japan. "We haven't discovered how they've come to inhabit this region," an official said. The prefecture has spent about ¥10 million annually surveying and conducting research into the monkeys since 1994, equipping them with electronic monitoring devices and checking their rate of pregnancy during their mating season. According to the officials, Shirahamamachi lost about ¥2.3 million in agricultural production last fiscal year due to the monkeys, who devoured Japanese radish, peas, Chinese celery cabbage and mikan among other farm produce. Specialists said the rhesus monkeys may already be mating with Japanese macaque, which inhabit hills north of the monkeys' territory. So far, five out of the known band of 100 rhesus monkeys have been discovered to possess traits similar to those of the Japanese macaques. "These include having relatively short tails, which suggest mating between the long-tailed rhesus monkeys and the macaques, which have very small tails, might have taken place," the official said. "Young Japanese male macaques are known to wander about, apart from their band, to seek mates. Such behavior may have caused them to travel distances to mate with the rhesus monkeys," he said. The official said monkey specialists will be called in to catch the rhesus monkeys, after which they will be put to death by the use of toxins. "Guns will not be used, as they may disperse the band and cause them to mate more with the macaques," the official said. The ecological destruction resulting from the introduction of foreign wildlife has caused problems in many municipalities in recent years, including the cases of North American black bass put into suburban lakes and rivers by anglers, and the raccoons, formerly kept as pets, now flourishing in the woods of Hokkaido. An Environment Ministry official said the government is now going through the process of drafting up national guidelines on foreign wildlife species. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com From ringe@earthlink.net Tue Jun 19 11:02:49 2001 Return-Path: Received: from smtp486-bms.mail.com ([165.251.44.40]) by franklin.oit.unc.edu with SMTP (Lyris List Manager SOLARIS/SPARC version 4.0); Tue, 19 Jun 2001 00:10:36 -0400 Received: from ANDANTEY6Q7Q5S (unknown [63.102.58.169]) by smtp486-bms.mail.com (SMTP server) with SMTP id C39FF49929 for ; Mon, 18 Jun 2001 14:32:40 -0400 (EDT) From: "Alexandra Ringe" To: Subject: Peter Gabriel, bonobos Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2001 14:36:47 -0700 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2911.0) Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6700 From the New York Post: http://nypost.com/entertainment/32811.htm APES INSTRUMENTAL TO ROCKER GABRIEL'S NEW BAND By BRAD HUNTER ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- June 18, 2001 -- Rock 'n' roll innovator Peter Gabriel is going ape over his new band. The founder of Genesis hasn't put out a new album in five years, but he has been jamming at Georgia State University in Atlanta. The rock legend plays keyboards, and so does his new backing band: a dozen bonobo apes from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Gabriel told London's Financial Times that while his new group doesn't exactly jam together, they are feeling each other out musically. And he insists his new mates have a keen sense of rhythm and melody. "It is a little like working with a child," Gabriel said, adding that the apes understand about 4,000 English words and recognize 400 pictograms. But, Gabriel's gifted apes may soon be split up and dispatched to different zoos and facilities for research purposes. While the band may not play on, their eccentric leader believes they should stay in touch. And Gabriel is hoping to use computer networks - or "Apenet," as he's dubbed it - to help his primate bandmates keep in contact. The idea of Apenet is to create an Internet-based network for the bonobo apes to "talk" with each other. Gabriel believes they could touch on the screen, activate Webcams and virtually communicate.

And when you're talking about a 41-year-old gorilla, Viagra and sex therapy just aren't realistic. "He's not inclined to copulate at all," says Clement Lanthier, the Granby Zoo's director of animal health. With all other avenues exhausted, the zoo has turned to cloning as its last hope Mumba can one day contribute to the genetic diversity experts say is crucial for the survival of endangered species like the lowland gorilla. "The technology is not available now but we want to be prepared," says Lanthier. Mumba is one of about 725 lowland gorillas living in zoos around the world. Their life expectancy is between 45 and 50 years. When he dies, the zoo plans to collect and freeze tissue from the 190-kg beast. While the Granby Zoo can't afford to spend the time and money on developing a way to clone Mumba, it has confidence that somebody, somewhere will -- someday. And lest anyone think his troubles are physical, Mumba often sits by himself to masturbate -- as discreetly as is possible, of course, in a home surrounded by glass windows. "His problem is psychological," says Lanthier.

"The hunters are now able to go deep into the forest because they ride on the logging trucks on the roads that have been built by the logging companies," Goodall told a news conference. Chaos and armed conflict in central Africa has made it difficult to enforce laws protecting the animals, she said. Hunters shoot chimpanzees and then smoke and sell the meat, "even shipping it off to exotic restaurants," said Goodall, who has been studying chimpanzees in northwestern Tanzania for 40 years. Hunting and the destruction of forests for firewood and timber have reduced the chimpanzee population in 21 African nations from 2 million a century ago to 220,000 today, she said. Because they are very slow breeders and give birth only at five year intervals, she said, the species could be on its way to extinction if nothing is done to protect the animals and their habitat. Goodall said when she arrived in Gombe National Park in 1960, 150 chimpanzees lived there. With the encroachment of refugees from Congo who kill chimps for food and sometimes transmit human diseases to them, the population has dwindled to 110. People who live in the region traditionally have hunted chimpanzees for food, but commercial hunting has greatly increased the numbers of animals killed, she said. "We are training young people to change their desire to eat chimpanzees and develop an appetite for other meat like goat," Goodall said. Trade in chimpanzee and gorilla meat is widespread throughout central Africa, even though both are protected species in the countries where they are hunted. The World Wide Fund for Nature says chimpanzee and gorilla meat is commercially available for sale in central Africa and is on restaurant menus in Paris and Brussels. The meat is served dried or smoked and as steak or in stews. =A92001 Associated Press -- -=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D--=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D Mat Honan ::: http://www.honan.net ::: -=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D--=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D From carrie@stayfreemagazine.org Thu Jul 05 19:02:12 2001 Return-Path: Received: from smtp4ve.mailsrvcs.net ([206.46.170.25]) by franklin.oit.unc.edu with SMTP (Lyris List Manager SOLARIS/SPARC version 4.0); Thu, 05 Jul 2001 19:02:09 -0400 Received: from [192.168.123.128] (adsl-162-83-205-128.nyc.adsl.bellatlantic.net [162.83.205.128]) by smtp4ve.mailsrvcs.net (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id XAA50353769 for ; Thu, 5 Jul 2001 23:01:44 GMT Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Sender: stayfree@mail.metalab.unc.edu Message-Id: Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2001 18:54:15 -0500 To: monkeywire@franklin.oit.unc.edu From: Carrie McLaren Subject: Zoe the Gibbon Adopted by Ape-Loving Car Dealer Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" AP - July 3, 2001 The latest addition to car dealers menagerie is a star attraction By SANDY WELLS, The Charleston Gazette SPRING HILL, W.Va. - Like any proud new father, about all he can talk about is the baby. Her name is Zoe. She's 5 months old, and she's the apple of her daddy's eye. "She has a great personality," he says, cuddling her to his chest. "And she's very affectionate. She knows who her daddy is. If I walk in the room, she jumps up and hollers for her daddy to come get her." While Daddy works, she naps or plays contentedly in the playpen beside his desk. She hugs her stuffed animals while she sucks her thumb, swats at the colorful toys dangling around her, crawls on the miniature jungle gym or up the sides of the playpen. To hear him talk, she's the perfect baby. "Right off the bat, she slept through the night. I keep her playpen beside my bed. She goes to bed at 9:30 and gets up a 8." She wears preemie-size disposable diapers. "She goes through five a day," he says. "I'd never diapered a baby in my life. Now I can put one on in four or five-seconds." It's a good thing. "You can never potty-train a primate," he says. A primate? Baby Zoe is a very rare white-faced gibbon. She's the size of a monkey, a Curious George type, but she belongs to the ape family because she has no tail. No matter. Most people call her a monkey anyway. She hangs out with her daddy, Lester Raines, at his car dealership in Spring Hill. He brings her to work every day, the newest addition to an office menagerie that includes two small fennec foxes and a dozen talking, squawking, chirping exotic birds. But Zoe steals the show. Customers and employees constantly stop by the office to visit her and watch her perform. "Everybody wants to know where they can get one," Raines said. "They can't." Raines waited 10 years. Because gibbons are an endangered species, they can't be bought and sold like cats and dogs, or even chimpanzees, he explains. "You can buy chimps for upwards of $50,000, but nobody can buy a gibbon. She's on breeder loan to me." When she matures, he will give her up long enough for her to mate. In fact, he's already picked her suitors. "I've got her marriage all arranged. A friend in Natural Bridge, Va., has a zoo and he has three boy gibbons. When she's old enough, I'm going to breed her with one of his boys." The baby will belong to the government, part of a USDA program to increase the gibbon population. "Chimpanzees are always everybody's first choice," he says. "But when they get to be 6 or 7, they get very strong and can be very mean and dangerous. People end up having to take them to a zoo, and that's hard. You can keep these monkeys for a lifetime." Of all the primates, gibbons rank just behind chimps in intelligence, he says. "She's learned a lot from me in the past few weeks. I want to train her to do different things. I've got her a basketball and a little rim and she's already dropping the ball through the net. They can jump 6 or 7 feet when they get older. If she could take a basketball and jump like that, wouldn't that be something?" A gibbon can jump 30 feet from tree to tree, he says. "They're very acrobatic. But I don't want her to be wild and crazy. I went to see her parents, and they're very well-mannered. So I've been working with her. They're just like kids. They can be mean or good." He fell in love with the little apes the first time he saw them and asked a breeder friend in Florida if he could get one someday. "Ten years later, she called and said she had a female ready to have a baby. I told her I hoped it was a girl. I wanted a little girl. I went to Florida and picked her up. You can imagine how excited I was. "They don't give them to just anybody," he says. "You have to have experience with animals." Raines certainly qualifies in that category. For years, he welcomed visitors to his Poca River farm to see the unusual animals he'd collected - zebras, kangaroos, flamingos, bears, camels, a leopard, turtles, Clydesdales, African antelopes, ostriches and miniature horses, among other creatures. The zoo started with the miniature horses, he says. "I was down in Florida on a greyhound trip, and I saw a farm with a bunch of little horses running around. I went to the barn and asked what they were. They said they were miniatures horses. Before I left, I owned four." Zoe's doting dad takes her everywhere he goes, even to the beach. "She couldn't build a sand castle," he says, "but she sure knew how to knock one down." She travels in a cat carrier, or around his neck in a papoose carrier. At home, she plays with his two golden retrievers. "She'll be on the floor and punch one of them in the nose, but they won't hurt her. They know she's something special."
