Student Resource - Chimpanzee behaviour for learning or teaching 'group scan sampling'
Don't forget to click HD 1080p !
This is a series three of short (each about two and a half minutes) video sequence 'sessions' suitable for teaching behavioural sampling on primate groups. Each sampling session highlights different considerations for designing a sampling proceedure. The first session can be used to highlight difficulties of continuous sampling on animal groups and the importance of considering how to deal with 'visibility issues'. The second session allows students to trial a form of 'group scan sampling' and consider how to deal with 'rarer behaviours' that might otherwise be missed. The third session allows students to fine tune their method.
The chimpanzees are in the Budongo Trail exhibit in Edinburgh Zoo and are receiving a feed of sweet potatoes.
A longer sequence of behaviour of capuchin monkeys for students to practice with or for learning 'focal individual' and 'continuous' sampling is here:

Taking a course on Human Evolution and in our lab, we're writing a lab report on behavioral research methods so here we are~! Just sucks cause if we weren't in a pandemic, we would actually be going to the zoo to observe the non-human primates! Sadge.
Didn't use it this semester but now I have found it I will save it for use in future semesters. Thanks! :D
My class in Biology learned this in university when we were learning about behavioral ecology :P Very good!
umm theres no sound
theres 17 chimps total
What are they meant to be doing?
How many Chimps total?
nice vid! :)
Where's the sound?
Its OK.
watching this for ant101
if you're only interested in how chips behave while being fed by humans, this video is ideal.
I watch for school awesome shit Man keep up this shit you will grow big balls my man good shit

Hello Harry!
Almost unbelievable this is considered an actual study of chimpanzees, throwing food at them to make them more visible is frankly dumb. Then feeding chimps or should i say covering food with your scent and then throwing it at the chimps like they are some kind of circus act is also unintelligent. remove education from the category.

@@hotsoss1095 yeah I dont like the capturing/adopting and studying of intelligent animals. Flip the script. If you were locked in a cage being constantly stared at by a predator... can't imagine that to be comfortable or stressless. That being said a chimp wouldn't be showing the full behaviour of a natural lived chimp which makes the study being done scripted in a way.

maverick ownage it’s not like it’s much safer or better for them in the wild. They are trying their hardest to mimic their natural environment and scattering their food so they still have to search for it. I’ve seen animals in much worse conditions than that.
