Chimpanzoo. Produced by Washington Park Zoo Research Program. [VHS;
col., sd.; 34 min.: 1986.]
This tape serves as a summary of the purpose and goals of the Chimpanzoo
project, a 7-zoo study designed to systematically collect data on a number of
groups of chimps using similar data collection results. These methods are
elaborated upon, and an ethogram of chimpanzee behavior is given. Behaviors
shown include: feeding, locomotion, self-grooming, social grooming, exploring
the environment, aggression (display), tool use, play, signing and parental
behaviour. Estrous swelling is also shown.

Amazon, Land of the Flooded Forest. Produced by the National
Geographic Society and WQED, Pittsburgh [VHS; col., sd.; 57 min.: 1990]
The Amazon River basin is one of the last great wetland frontiers with a vast
variety of wildlife including over 2000 species of fish and 900 species of
birds. Many primates dwell in this region including the rare white bald uakari (Cacajao
calvus) seen feeding on fruit, and showing coloration of face and lack of tail;
the howler monkey (Alouatta) seen feeding and climbing, and heard vocalizing;
the emperor tamarin (Saguinus imperator) seen hunting and eating a mantis; owl
monkey (Aotus triviragtus) seen feeding on fruit and climbing and heard
vocalizing; and the pygmy marmoset (Cebeulla pygmaea) seen feeding on an insect
and chewing through tree bark to eat tree sap. Other animals shown include
stringrays, river dolphins, sloth (seen swimming), varieties of fruit-eating
fish, piranha, giant river turtles. Much of this program is also dedicated to
showing the lives of the peasants who survive from the abundance of food
provided by the Amazon River, and the interference of those who would upset the
ecosystem of the Amazon through the development of farming land and construction
of hydroelectric dams. Narrated by William Shatner and naturalist Michael
Goulding.

Survey of the Primates. Produced by Duane M. Rumbaugh, Austin H.
Riesen, and Robert E. Lee; Georgia State University College of Arts and Sciences
in cooperation with the San Diego Zoological Society [VHS; col., sd.; 38 min.:
1988]
Primates are defined by 10 criteria: generalized skeleton; highly mobile
digits (and often an opposable thumb); tactile pads on the fingers; abbrevation
of snout or muzzle (excepting the baboon); perfection of binocular vision; smell
and other senses de-emphasized by sight; fewer teeth; increase in size and
complexity of brain cortex; nourishment of fetus before birth; upright posture
or bipedalism; and prolongation of infant dependency upon parents. New World
monkets shown are the long-haired spider monkey (Ateles belzebuth); Goeldi's
monkey (Callimico goeldii); golden marmoset or lion tamarin (Leontopithecus
rosalia) seen climbing and with a close-up of its hands; Humboldt's woolly
monkey (Lagothrix lagotricha) seen eating leaves and using its prehensile tail;
squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) at play, scratching and carrying infants;
hooded capuchin or tufted capuchin (Cebus apella); howler (Alouatta villosa)
seen eating; Night monkey or owl monkey (Aotus trivirgatus); and red uakari (Cacajao
calvis rubicundus)

Animal Cunning. Produced by Greg Grainger, A Grainger Maynard
Production. [VHS; col., sd.; 44 min.: 1995 ]
How smart are animals? Filmmaker Greg Grainger examines the studies of animal
intelligence across a range of different animals. These animals include: Shamu
the killer whale, Alex the African gray parrot; sheepdogs and domestic dogs;
dolphins (shown communicating with human through a gestural language and
interacting with autistic children); elephants (discussing long-range memory);
polar bears and leopards. Primates examined: pygmy marmosets (Cebuella pygmaea)
with Dr. John Hearn of the WRPRC discussing how marmosets communicate;
orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) shown playing with humans and using a feeder
consisting of a false termite mound filled with peanut butter; and chimpanzees
(Pan troglodytes) observed attempting to crack open a coconut, and extract
termites from an artificial termite mound, with a discussion of culture in the
chimpanzee society. In the leopard segment, agitated vervets are shown giving an
alarm call vocalization.

Really Wild Animals: Totally Tropical Rainforest.Produced by National
Geographic Society. Distributed by Columbia Tristar Home Video [VHS; col., sd.;
40 min.: 1994]
This children's video looks at the rain forests of Central and South America.
Animals are classified by the area of the forest they live in -- floor, midlayer,
or canopy. Floor animals include the jaguar, tarantula, coati, piranha, tapir,
leaf-cutter ant, ocelot, basilisk lizard, pygmy marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea) seen
eating and mustached tamarin (Saguinus mystax). Midlayer animals include the
leaf mantis, margay and bats. Canopy animals include the three-toed sloth,
macaws and parrots, harpy eagle, hoatzin, water monkey, spider monkey (Ateles),
howler monkey (Alouatta) heard vocalizing, and uakari (Cacajao calvus) seen
leaping from branch to branch. Narrator Dudley Moore also discusses products we
get from the rain forest and the potential consequences of rain forest
destruction. Briefly mentioned is a rehabilitation project to reintroduce golden
lion tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia) back into the rain forests of Brazil.

Growing Up Wild: Monkey Business. Produced by Hilary Jenkins; BBC
Wildvision/Lionheart in association with Time-Life Video [VHS; col., sd.; 30
min.: 1992]
This children's video addresses certain aspects of monkey and ape
development. Some activities shown include: mountain gorilla (Gorilla g.
beringei) making nest and playing; howler monkeys (Alouatta) giving warning
vocalizations and jumping from branch to branch; gibbons (Hylobates)
brachiating; langurs (Presbytis) playing, grooming, swimming and diving;
Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) cleaning potatoes in water and sitting in hot
springs; chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) using sticks and rocks to crack open
nuts. Also seen are black and white colobus (Colobus abyssinicus) showing
coloration of infant; orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus), squirrel monkeys (Saimiri), a
tarsier (Tarsius), baboons (Papio), vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops
pygerythus), hamadryas baboons (Papio hamadryas), emperor tamarins (Saguinus
imperator), uakari (Cacajao calvus), marmosets (Callithrix), spider monkeys (Ateles)
